Size selection
When choosing a size, measure yourself around your chest (or the largest measurement of your upper body). For a slightly loose fit, choose the size where the width of the work is approx. 9-12 cm larger than your measurement. That is, calculate a range of motion (positive ease) of 9-12 cm. If you want a tighter fit, choose a range of motion of 5-8 cm.
