- Chest Measurement
- Use a soft measuring tape.
- Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest, just under your armpits.
- Make sure the tape is snug but not tight and keep it level across your back.
- Record the measurement in inches or centimeters.
- Waist Measurement
- Measure around the narrowest part of your torso (just above your belly button).
- Keep the tape horizontal and snug without compressing your body.
- Record this number as your waist size.
How to Fit the FoilSolutions Impact Vest
3. Start Dry
- Always try the vest on when dry, as neoprene will loosen slightly when wet.
- Remove the belt
- IMPORTANT: The belt will restrict the stretch of the vest by pulling on the Velcro. Remove the belt completely when measuring the vest for the first time.
- Snug Fit
- The vest should feel tight but comfortable—like a firm hug.
- It should not ride up or move when you raise your arms overhead.
- Check Movement
- Rotate your shoulders, bend forward, and simulate your riding stance.
- Make sure you can move freely without the vest shifting or restricting motion.
- Secure All Closures
- Fasten all zippers, buckles, or straps fully.
- Recheck that the vest stays flat against your body with no air pockets or gaps.
- Final Test
- With proper fit, the vest should stay in place and not slide upward when pulled at the shoulders.
- If it rides up, try a smaller size or adjust the straps.
