Perfect sportswear sizing made easy

Everybody is different. Cyclists with super strong legs, rowers with strong upper body, ambitious new athlete with big belly, no matter where your ‘strong’ zones are, you need perfectly fitting sportswear!

With our sizing procedure you get your garments fit perfect.

At Jiakina we created a system of standard body measurements and defined for each sportswear style a system of needed measurements and their importance for correct fit.

Match your body measurements with our sizing chart to find the perfect garment size.

Sizing procedure

1. Check the needed measurements with their priority for your desired garment.
2. Learn how to measure with our body measurements guiding.
3. Measure  or getting measured (starting with the most needed measurement).
4. Compare your values with the sizing chart.
5. Take the size which comes closest to Your measured value as Your size.
6. In case there is one more needed measurement, continue with the next one, measure, check sizing.
7. If the sizing for this measurement results in a smaller size than before, keep the before size.
8. If the sizing for this measurement results in a bigger size, you should chose the bigger size as your final size.
9. Repeat until you sized all needed measurements.
10. Record your size and proceed with ordering.
