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.

Usual high quality product from Vaikobi. Well made, fits as expected, makes paddling that bit less painful!

SIzing is on the small side, but within normal range. Good quality product and makes paddling time more comfortable.

The sizing of the paddling shorts doesn't match what is typical. At least in the US. I'm US size 38. Size XL in most athletic sports wear. (Lululemon etc.) Standard athletic build. I ordered XXL in your product and did not come close to fitting. Also, there was no return shipping label and packaging included in the package. I had to request return instructions. Then pay for the return. Complicated and difficult process and unacceptable in this day and age of online shopping. I will not order again.
