How to Measure

To find your correct Helly Hansen size, follow these measurement instructions carefully. Wear minimal clothing and use a soft measuring tape. Take measurements while standing relaxed, not flexed.

Chest: Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape parallel to the ground. The tape should be snug but not tight.
Waist: Measure around your natural waist (the narrowest point above your hips), keeping the tape comfortable and not constricting.
Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips and buttocks, approximately 20 centimetres below your waist.
Arm Length: For outerwear sizing, measure from the middle of your neck down to your wrist with your arm relaxed at your side.
Inseam (for trousers): Measure the inside length of your leg from your crotch seam to your ankle bone. Alternatively, measure from the top of your inseam to the bottom of your existing trousers.
Foot Length (for shoes): Stand barefoot on a flat surface. Measure in millimetres from the heel to the longest toe. For the most accurate fit, measure both feet as they may differ slightly.
Height: Stand barefoot against a wall and measure from the top of your head to the floor. This helps determine the correct length for outerwear proportions.

Tip: Measure yourself or ask someone else to help ensure accuracy. Take measurements over a t-shirt for clothing and without shoes for height. Compare your measurements to the size charts below to find your best fit.
