Weight
Hop on some scales
Chest
Measure the fullest area of your chest. Stand up straight and breath normally.
Waist
Measure around the narrowest part (typically where your body bends side to side), keeping the tape horizontal.
Hips
Measure around the widest part of your hips, keeping the tape horizontal.
Tips:
If one of your body measurements is on the borderline between two sizes, order the smaller size for a tighter fit or the larger size for a looser fit. If your body measurements for hips and waist correspond to two different suggested sizes, order the one indicated by your hip measurement.

I've tried several different seat pads to reduce butt soreness from winter indoor rowing. All have helped, but none have eliminated discomfort. Until the Men's UV Paddle Pants. Even though their seat padding is ever so thin, they 100% do the job working completely solo. With the UV Paddle Pants I no longer use any sort of seat pad at all. Total comfort enables focus on rate, pace, form, breathing. Love 'em. Also, very comfortable, stretchy pants. Machine washable, too. I've just ordered a second pair.

I am a survivor of sun cancer and an avid sailor. The Vaikobi paddle pants are a key ingredient in my ability to continue sailing, not only in comfort, but with the protection from UV that is imperative for my on going health. I also use the Vaikobi long sleeve UV tops for the same purpose of comfort and health.
Thanks Pat & Adrienne for your amazing kit!
