Episode 11: How to Figure Out Motorcycle Gear Sizing and Fitment

I’ve been a little behind in uploading episodes, I’m sorry!

In this episode, I’m going to give you my tips on how to figure out what sizing might be like for brands that you aren’t familiar with and general sizing for motorcycle gear, not normal clothes. I was simultaneously recording this for Facebook Live so you can also watch the full episode instead of listening to it.

The first step is to get your numbers: measure every part of your body and identify your fit / body proportions:

Then I cover the general sizing approach between Euro and American brands and what to expect, what is the size range in European gear? Where do men’s sizes start? Where do women’s sizing start? How does that translate to American sizing?

What’s your frame of reference? How do you look at the gear you have now to help you decide whether any new gear fits you correctly?

Lastly I’m going to give you a few helmet fit tips to help you figure out what might or might not fit you correctly.
