How to Measure
To ensure you select the correct size, follow these measurement steps carefully. For the most accurate results, have someone assist you and measure in the afternoon when your feet and body are at their largest.
- Body Height: Stand against a wall without shoes. Measure from the top of your head to the ground using a measuring tape.
- Chest: Measure around the fullest part of your chest, typically above or at nipple line. Keep the tape measure parallel to the ground and ensure it's not too tight.
- Waist: Measure just above your navel without pulling the tape tight. This should sit naturally on your body where your trousers naturally sit.
- Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your bottom and hips, keeping the tape measure level with the ground.
- Arm Length: Extend one arm slightly and measure from the shoulder joint to the wrist with your elbow slightly bent.
- Inside Leg Length: Wearing shoes, measure from the inner top of your leg (at the groin) down to just above the ankle bone. This measurement is essential for trouser fit.
- Neck: For jackets and tops with collars, measure the thickest part of your neck, just below the Adam's apple.
- Foot Length: Stand on a piece of paper with your heel against a wall. Mark the furthest point of your big toe. Measure the distance from the wall to the mark in centimetres. Repeat for both feet and use the larger measurement, as feet can differ in size.
Pro Tip: If your measurements fall between two sizes, we recommend ordering the larger size for greater comfort, especially for outerwear and outdoor footwear where you may need room for thick socks or thermal layers.

Passenger Clothing Sizing Guide
Outerwear (Jackets, Gilets & Shells)
Passenger outerwear is designed with a contemporary, relaxed fit that accommodates layering for cold weather activities. The brand uses premium materials that offer weather resistance and durability. When selecting your size in jackets and gilets, consider whether you intend to wear them as a shell over light layers or as standalone pieces. If you plan significant layering, sizing up is recommended. Sleeve length is proportioned to modern cuts, so check arm length measurements carefully if you're between sizes.
Shirts, Tops & Base Layers
Passenger's shirt and top collection balances comfort with contemporary aesthetics. Long and short sleeve options are cut for a slightly relaxed fit that's flattering without being oversized. Women's tops feature refined proportions through the shoulders and chest, whilst men's shirts offer a standard cut suitable for both casual wear and layering under outdoor wear. For base layers and thermal tops, check whether the item is designed as a tight fit or standard fit, as this affects sizing selection.
Trousers & Salopettes
Passenger trousers are available in multiple inside leg lengths to accommodate different heights. Most ranges offer Regular (approximately 81cm) and Long (approximately 86cm) options. The waist sizing follows standard UK measurements. For outdoor trousers and salopettes, ensure you measure your inside leg accurately in the evening when your legs are fully rested. The brand's outdoor trousers feature functional designs with articulated knees for enhanced mobility during activities. Women's trousers are tapered slightly at the ankle for a modern silhouette, whilst men's options offer straight-leg cuts suitable for various body types.
Jumpers & Hoodies
Jumpers and hoodies from Passenger are manufactured with comfortable, relaxed fits ideal for layering or standalone wear. The proportions ensure the garments sit well when worn over lighter layers. Chest measurements are the primary guide for sizing these items. Many customers prefer to size up in hoodies for extra comfort and ease of movement, particularly if planning to wear them over thermal base layers during outdoor adventures.
Socks
Passenger offers unisex sock sizing in two main ranges covering UK sizes 3–7 (Small, EU 35.5–42) and UK 8–12 (Large, EU 42–48). Socks are available in various thicknesses from lightweight everyday options to heavyweight thermal socks designed for winter hiking and mountaineering. Thicker socks may require you to size up your shoe by half a size, particularly in mountaineering boots. Always measure your foot length in centimetres and cross-reference with the footwear chart for optimal sock and shoe compatibility.
Sizing Tips
- Measure in the afternoon: Feet swell throughout the day, particularly after activity. Measure yourself in late afternoon or early evening for the most accurate sizing, and always measure both feet as they may differ.
- Allow for layering in outerwear: Passenger's outdoor jackets and trousers are designed to accommodate thermal layers and base layers. If you intend to wear thick thermals or multiple layers, consider sizing up by one size for enhanced comfort and reduced restriction.
- Check inside leg carefully for trousers: Inside leg length is crucial for trouser fit. Passenger offers Regular and Long options, so determine your measurement precisely. If between lengths, the Long option is preferable as excess length can be tailored more easily than insufficient length.
- Account for foot swelling in footwear: Outdoor activities, hiking, and mountaineering cause feet to swell. Consider sizing up by half a size in hiking boots and mountaineering footwear. Ensure you have approximately 1cm of space between your longest toe and the boot end when wearing the socks you intend to use.
- Women's sizing runs true to chart measurements: Passenger's women's clothing follows the sizing chart closely. If your chest measurement is 93cm (within the M range), size M will fit correctly. The brand doesn't significantly vary fit between sizes, so accurate measurement is essential.
- Brand-specific material considerations: Passenger uses premium outdoor fabrics that may have minimal stretch. Check individual product descriptions for material content. Synthetic or technical fabrics typically offer less give than cotton or cotton blends, so if a product is 100% polyester, sizing to the upper end of your range may improve comfort.
- Return policy advantage: Passenger offers a generous 100-day return window. If you're uncertain between two sizes, purchase both and return the incorrect size. This removes risk from online shopping and allows you to assess fit with your own layers and intended use.
- Sock thickness affects shoe sizing: Passenger's thermal and heavyweight socks are thicker than standard hosiery. Test your shoe fit wearing the socks you intend to use during activities. You may need a half size larger in footwear when wearing thick winter socks versus standard socks.
International Size Conversions
Passenger clothing and footwear uses UK, US, and EU sizing systems. The conversions between these systems are not perfectly linear, particularly for clothing. Always refer to the charts above rather than assuming standard conversions. When purchasing from retailers in different regions, cross-reference your measurements against the specific size chart provided, as chart systems may vary slightly between stockists.
Women's Quick Reference: UK 8 = US 4 = EU 36 | UK 10 = US 6 = EU 38 | UK 12 = US 8 = EU 40 | UK 14 = US 10 = EU 42 | UK 16 = US 12 = EU 44
Men's Quick Reference: UK 36 = US S = EU 46 | UK 38 = US M = EU 48 | UK 40 = US L = EU 50 | UK 42 = US XL = EU 52 | UK 44 = US XXL = EU 54
Questions About Your Size?
If your measurements fall between two sizes or you're unsure which size to choose, Passenger recommends ordering the larger size. The brand's 100-day return policy provides ample opportunity to return or exchange items that don't fit perfectly. Consider your intended use (lightweight summer hiking versus cold-weather mountaineering) and expected layering when selecting between sizes. Remember that outdoor activities typically require more generous fit than everyday clothing to accommodate movement and layering. For specific product inquiries, contact Passenger customer services with your measurements and intended use, and they'll provide personalised sizing recommendations.
