The size chart measurements are body measurements. Garments will have further allowance for insulating layers.

For example, if your chest measures 100 cm / 40” you should select size Medium.

If you select a Light Ventile Jacket with a slimmer fit you will have room for a base layer and a light mid-layer under the jacket. If you select the Ventile Parka, which has a looser fit, you will have room for a base layer and a heavier mid layer as well as space for trapped air.

Each size (M, L, XL etc.) come in a regular and long size. The two key differences are "height of back" and arm length.

RedKettle size chart in cm and inch, including visual guide for taking measurements

Chest (1): measured during normal breathing whilst standing erect and the tape-measure passed under the armpits and across the chest.

Back height (2): Measured on your back, from where your back of neck meets your shoulders and down to the level of your navel.

Waist (3): measured at natural waistline, between top of hip bone and lower ribs, just around your navel.

Arms (4): tape-measure your straight arm lifted to a horizontal position. Measure from your neck to your wrist bone. Please note, the garment will reach further than your wrist bone, this point is only used as reference for sizing.
