VX3 Size Guide
VX3 is a premium performance-focused sportswear brand specialising in high-quality athletic clothing for athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and sports teams across multiple disciplines. VX3 designs clothing for football, rugby, netball, cricket, padel, and numerous other sports. The brand is renowned for creating durable, functional kit that combines technical performance with contemporary styling. VX3 sizing follows standard UK sizing conventions, though we recommend checking product-specific size charts as fit can vary between different garment types and collections. The brand offers a range of fits from fitted performance wear to relaxed casual styles, catering to various body types and preferences.
How to Measure
To ensure you select the correct VX3 size, follow these measurement steps using a soft measuring tape:
- Chest/Bust: Measure across the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape parallel to the ground and snug but not tight. Wear your normal everyday shirt and measure over it for accuracy.
- Waist: Measure around your natural waist (the narrowest point between your ribs and hips), keeping the tape snug but comfortable. Do not pull tight.
- Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips and bottom, keeping the tape parallel to the ground.
- Length: For tops, measure from the shoulder seam down to where you want the garment to end. For bottoms, measure from your waist down to your ankle.
- Sleeve Length: Measure from the centre back neck, across the shoulder, and down to your wrist with arm relaxed at your side.
- Take measurements whilst standing: Wear minimal clothing and ensure you're relaxed when measuring, as tight clothing or slouching can affect measurements.

T-Shirts & Tops
VX3 t-shirts and performance tops are designed with a fitted athletic cut. These garments are engineered to fit close to the body for minimal restriction during movement. If you prefer a more relaxed fit, consider sizing up by one size. Most tops are made from breathable, moisture-wicking fabrics suitable for training, sport, or casual wear.
Hoods & Sweats
VX3 hoodies and sweatshirts tend to fit slightly oversized for comfort and layering. The Conquer Club Hoodie and Reykjavik Full-Zip Hoodie are popular choices. These styles are designed to be worn over base layers or t-shirts, so fit accordingly if you plan to wear them as outerwear. Customers report a comfortable, relaxed fit suitable for training and casual wear.
Shorts
VX3 shorts feature an athletic fit with a moderate inseam suitable for sport and training. Choose your standard clothing size. The shorts include an integrated lining for support during activity. If you have a longer or shorter inseam preference, check product reviews or contact customer service for specific length information.
Leggings
Women's VX3 leggings are high-rise and feature compression technology for support during exercise. They fit true to size with a flexible waistband. These are engineered for gym work, running, and sports training with a comfortable, non-slip waistband design.
Sports Bras
VX3 sports bras are sized separately from general clothing and are categorised by cup size (typically available in A, B, C, D cup sizes). Always measure your band and cup size accurately and refer to the individual product size chart. Do not assume your clothing size corresponds to your sports bra size.
Robes & Duro Robes
VX3 offers robe sizing with DURO ROBE options designed for outdoor use and changing facilities. Robes are available in standard sizing (XS–3XL) and are engineered to fit over clothing. These should be sized generously to allow for layering. Check the specific product size chart for robe lengths and fit details.
Coats & Jackets
VX3 outerwear including coats and jackets is designed to fit over base layers and clothing. Size according to your standard sizing but bear in mind that layering will require a slightly larger size. Check individual product charts for specific fit details regarding sleeve length and body length.
Baselayers
Performance baselayers from VX3 are designed to fit close to the skin. These should fit snugly without being restrictive. Order your standard size for proper moisture-wicking and temperature regulation during sport and training.
Socks
VX3 offers crew socks, grip socks, and playing socks in standard shoe sizes. Refer to the shoe size conversion table below for accurate sizing. Grip socks are engineered to prevent slipping on artificial surfaces during football and rugby.

Sizing Tips
- Check Product-Specific Size Charts: VX3 maintains detailed size charts for individual products, especially for bespoke items like sports bras, robes, and grip socks. Always consult the specific product page before purchasing, as fit can vary between different garment types, collections, and seasons.
- Read Customer Reviews for Fit Feedback: Real customer reviews provide invaluable information about how VX3 products fit in practice. Look for comments about whether items run small, large, or true to size. This is particularly helpful for outerwear, performance wear, and specialised items.
- Consider the Intended Use: VX3 designs different fits for different purposes. Performance training wear fits closer to the body, whilst casual wear and outerwear offer more relaxed fits. Consider where you'll wear the item and whether you'll layer underneath when selecting your size.
- Measure Twice, Order Once: Always take accurate measurements using a soft measuring tape and compare them to the relevant VX3 size chart. Measure over your normal everyday clothing to account for the layer you'll wear under VX3 garments. Take measurements in the afternoon when feet and body are at their natural size.
- Contact Customer Service for Guidance: VX3 customer service can provide detailed fit advice, particularly for international customers or specialised items. They can clarify whether a specific item runs large or small, and can often recommend alternative sizes if needed.
- Ensure Free Returns: When ordering online, confirm that VX3 offers free returns and exchanges. This provides peace of mind if an item doesn't fit as expected. Most online retailers allow 30 days for returns, giving you time to check fit and comfort.
- For Teamwear & Kit Orders: VX3 specialises in custom teamwear for football clubs, rugby teams, and other organisations. For bulk orders, always order sample sizes first to verify fit across the team before committing to full quantities. VX3 offers a kit designer tool to preview how your team's colours will look.
- Layering Considerations: Performance base layers, sports bras, and compression wear should fit snugly. Tops worn over base layers may require sizing up. Outerwear designed for training in cold weather should accommodate layering underneath.
- Children's Growth Room: When ordering VX3 kids' clothing, consider sizing up slightly to allow for growth, particularly if the child is near the top of the size range. Youth kit is durable and long-lasting, so a slightly roomier fit ensures extended wear.
- Specialist Sock Sizing: Grip socks must fit securely within football boots or rugby boots to prevent slipping. If you're between sizes, try the smaller size first. Test grip socks in your boots during training before match day to ensure maximum performance and safety.

Care & Maintenance
To maintain your VX3 clothing in optimal condition, follow these care guidelines:
- Always check the individual garment label for specific care instructions, as different fabrics and technologies require different care.
- Wash in cold water (30°C or below) to preserve elastic and technical coatings.
- Use mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which can reduce moisture-wicking performance.
- Avoid bleach and harsh chemicals.
- Tumble dry on low heat or air dry to prevent damage to elastic and synthetic fibres.
- Do not iron directly onto printed graphics; if needed, iron on reverse with a low heat setting.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading.
