DRYSUIT MEASUREMENT
All measurements must be taken with a soft tape measure pulled snug but not tight. Stand straight, looking forward with your feet flat on the floor. It is best to have help taking the measurements, in order to remain in the optimal measuring stance.

If the person is muscular, take a second measurement at armpit area, across the upper chest. Use the larger of the two measurements. Remember, take this measurement at the widest area...
