All our Kids goUnders are unisex and are designed to fit the age range of 3 to 10yrs+
| Size | Extra Small | Small | Medium | Large |
| Waist | 55 – 58cm | 58 – 61cm | 61 – 64cm | 64 – 68cm |
| Hip | 64 – 68cm | 69 – 73cm | 74 – 78cm | 79 – 84cm |
The best way to measure is with a tape measure. If you don’t have a tape measure use a piece of string or some wool then lay this out along a ruler.
How to find the waist. To find the natural crease line of a waist stand straight with hands at the side. Then bend sideways running the hand down the outside surface of the leg. This movement will produce a crease at the waist so place your measuring tape on this crease. Return to standing straight and place the measuring tape around the waist, keeping it even all the way around.
How to find the hips. Take your second measurement at the hip approximately 9 – 12cm for kids down from the waist (you are looking for the widest part of the body).
See the size charts above to help with choosing the most comfortable size. If your measurement falls between sizes think about what this product is meant to do – hold a chamois in place – so you should go for a size that will be snug.
Take your time and measure well but be reassured that we love returns because we want you to have the solution that is right for YOU so if you have to send it back it’s no problem at all . See returns
Make sure when you try on your goUnders for the first time you wear some underwear to protect the surface of our chamois. Once you are happy with the fit it is yours to wear against your skin. To get the best possible position for your chamois hold your goUnders at the front & back, not the sides as you pull them on.
To get the right size jacket you must measure. To do this place a tape measure around the chest and make sure the tape is level all the way around. Measure the circumference at the widest part of your upper chest just under your arm pits. For a second measurement to help in your decision making and getting a good fit – please measure your waist.
Find your waist by…
To find the natural crease line of your waist, stand straight with hands at the side. Then bend sideways running the hand down the outside surface of the leg. This movement will produce a crease at the waist so place your measuring tape on this crease. Return to standing straight and place the tape measure around your waist at your crease point (usually the narrowest part of your torso).
Take the measurement in centimetres. If you don’t have a tape measure use string or wool then lie this along a ruler.
Consider how you would like to use your jacket when selecting size. A fitted jacket can be hard to wear with lots of layers underneath it. If you want to layer under your jacket or enjoy a looser fit consider whether you should go up a size. If you measure between sizes also think about this.

To get the right size jacket you must measure. To do this place a tape measure around the chest and make sure the tape is level all the way around. Measure the circumference at the widest part of your upper chest just under your arm pits. For further measurements to help in your decision making and getting a good fit – please measure your waist & hips.
Find your waist by…
To find the natural crease line of your waist, stand straight with hands at the side. Then bend sideways running the hand down the outside surface of the leg. This movement will produce a crease at the waist so place your measuring tape on this crease. Return to standing straight and place the tape measure around your waist at your crease point (usually the narrowest part of your torso).
Your hip measurement should be taken approximately 18cm down from your waist. Place the end of the tape measure at you waist and let the other end drop to the floor. Find the point on your body which is 18cm down from your waist. turn the tape measure and keeping it level take it all the way round your body at this point.
Take the measurement in centimetres. If you don’t have a tape measure use string or wool then lie this along a ruler.
Consider how you would like to use your jacket when selecting size. A fitted jacket can be hard to wear with lots of layers underneath it. If you want to layer under your jacket or feel like you have room to move consider whether you should go up a size. If you measure between sizes also think about this.

WATERPROOF JACKET for Kids
Sizes to fit 2yrs to approximately 12 yrs
Town, trail, bike path, tour
The most important measurement for the jacket or pants is height – if your child is larger than the height measurement then the sleeves/body may be a bit short, and they will likely grow out of it very quickly.
For the jacket – find your chest measurement by… placing the tape measure so it is even all the way around your chest at the biggest point. Just below your arm pits.
For the pants – find your waist by…
To find the natural crease line of your waist, stand straight with hands at the side. Then bend sideways running the hand down the outside surface of the leg. This movement will produce a crease at the waist so place your measuring tape on this crease. Return to standing straight and place the tape measure around your waist at your crease point (usually the narrowest part of your torso).
Take the measurement in centimetres. If you don’t have a tape measure use string or wool then lie this along a ruler.
The Waterproof Jacket for Kids is made to fit comfortably over a t-shirt and a mid layer/sweatshirt based on the sizes below. If your child is measuring in between sizes, then we recommend to get the next size up.

The Waterproof Jacket for Kids is a straight style jacket made to be worn with layers. The Waterproof Pant for Kids is an over trouser meant to be worn over clothing so is generous in size.

To get the right size pants you must measure. To get a good guide for fit a waist and inside leg measurement need to be taken.
Find your waist by…
To find the natural crease line of your waist, stand straight with hands at the side. Then bend sideways running the hand down the outside surface of the leg. This movement will produce a crease at the waist so place your measuring tape on this crease. Return to standing straight and place the tape measure around your waist at your crease point (usually the narrowest part of your torso).
Take the measurement in centimetres. If you don’t have a tape measure use string or wool then lie this along a ruler.
To measure your inside leg…
To find your inside leg measurement stand with heels against a wall. Place a book between your legs as high up as it will go. Move away from the wall keeping the book against it. Place a tape measure at the top end of the book and let it drop to the floor.
Take the measurement in centimetres. If you don’t have a tape measure use string or wool then lie this along a ruler.
Consider how these pants are designed to work when selecting size. An over trouser is big & loose in fit and can be worn with lots of layers underneath it. Also remember they are unisex so smaller sizes will suit most women.

The best way to measure is with a tape measure. If you don’t have a tape measure use a piece of string or some wool then lay this out along a ruler. You must do both measurements so that you have all the information you need to make a good decision about which size is right.
Palm Length – from the lines created by your wrists to the base of your middle finger – see photo
Palm Circumference – from the base of your little finger around the base of your index finger and back to your little finger (right around your knuckles) – see photo
See the size chart below to help with choosing the most comfortable size. If your measurement falls between sizes think about what this product is meant to do – fit snugly and not interfere with grip – so you should go for a size that will be firm.
| KIDS Size | Palm Length | Palm Circumference |
| X-Small | 6cm | 14 – 15.5cm |
| Small | 7cm | 15 – 16.5cm |
| Medium | 8cm | 16 – 17.5cm |

Note: The large size of the kids biking gloves is the same size as the Women’s Small therefore if you are large you can also consider Women’s or Mens’s glove options.
