Eisbar Size Guide
Eisbär is a premier Austrian performance brand, renowned for crafting high-quality, functional sportswear and accessories designed to withstand the rigours of the Alpine environment. Our sizing philosophy focuses on precision and thermal efficiency, ensuring that every piece of headwear and apparel provides the optimal balance of comfort, breathability, and protection. Whether you are navigating steep mountain trails or enjoying winter leisure, our garments are engineered to provide a secure, performance-oriented fit that moves with you. We recommend selecting a size that allows for necessary layering, particularly when using our technical base layers under heavier outerwear.
How to Measure
- Chest: Wrap a flexible measuring tape around the fullest part of your chest, ensuring the tape remains horizontal and level around your back. Avoid pulling the tape too tightly; it should rest comfortably against the skin.
- Waist: Measure around your natural waistline, which is typically the narrowest part of your torso, located just above the navel. For performance trousers, ensure the measurement is taken where you intend your waistband to sit.
- Hips: Stand with your feet together and wrap the tape around the widest part of your hips and buttocks to ensure adequate mobility in technical bottoms.
- Head Circumference: For beanies and performance caps, measure around the circumference of your head, passing just above the ears and across the forehead.
- Foot Length: Place your foot flat on a piece of paper with your heel against a vertical surface. Trace the outline of your foot and measure the distance from the heel to the tip of your longest toe.

Product-Specific Guidance
Functional Headwear: Our beanies and caps are designed for thermal regulation. For optimal performance in cold climates, ensure the headwear covers the ears. If you are between sizes for head circumference, we recommend the larger size to prevent excessive pressure on the forehead.
Performance Apparel: When selecting technical mid-layers or outerwear, consider your environment. For high-intensity activities, a closer fit aids in moisture wicking; for stationary warmth, a slightly looser fit allows for trapped air insulation.
Accessories: Gloves and neck gaiters are engineered with high-stretch fabrics. While they offer a flexible fit, a snug seal against the skin is vital to prevent heat loss.
Sizing Tips
- If your measurements fall between two sizes, we recommend ordering the larger size to accommodate movement and layering.
- Always measure your feet in the evening, as feet naturally swell throughout the day due to activity and temperature.
- When measuring for footwear, ensure there is approximately a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe.
- Use a soft, non-stretch measuring tape to ensure the most accurate results for body circumference.
- When purchasing performance outerwear, account for the thickness of your thermal base layers to avoid restricted range of motion.
- When measuring head circumference, ensure the tape is snug but does
