Great Hunts Start With A Good Fit
Don't overlook comfort as a factor in your hunting success. That means having the right fit, from your base layer to your outer shell, and even your pack frame. At Badlands we want to help you get the fit you need, so you can focus on the pursuit, rather than your gear.
Sizing Considerations
For proper fit, both men and women should read through the Official Badlands Sizing Charts and Layering Guide carefully, and keep the following in mind:
- If you're looking at outer layers or rain gear that you plan to wear over thicker layers, consider going one size larger than normal.
- If you're picking a base layer, go with your regular clothing size. If you prefer an extra-snug, athletic fit, you can go one size down.
- If you have any additional questions, email us at info@badlandspacks.com and we’ll be happy to assist you.
How to Measure Yourself
For the most accurate results, use a fabric measuring tape. You can also use string, then measure it against a ruler or yardstick. Your measurements will be more accurate if you have someone else assist you in taking them. Follow these instructions for your best Badlands fit.
Men's Measurements
CHEST- Measure around your chest and body at its fullest part (typically right under the armpits and shoulder blades, right across the nipples).
- Hold the tape against your body tight enough so that it does not slip down, but not so tight that it restricts breathing. It should be snug.
- Make sure the tape is horizontal and your arms are by your side; relax, then measure.
- No chest puffing or exhaling.
- Double check the measurement.
- Keep your elbow slightly bent.
- Measure from the center back of your neck (bottom center of your collar) to the end of your shoulder at the top of your arm (with your arm hanging straight down), then continue that measurement from the top of your shoulder to the center of the back of your hand. Add both measurements.
- Double check the measurement.
- Measure around your waist at the level where you normally wear a belt.
- With the tape measure snug around your waist, relax and take the measurement.
- Double check the measurement.
- Do not wear shoes!
- Measure from the lowest part of your crotch area to the floor.
- Make sure the tape is tight along the inside of your leg, and that your legs aren't bent.
