Held Ayana 3 size and fit guide

Measure around the fullest part of the chest, the natural waist and the fullest part of the hips. Inside-leg measurements are taken from the crotch to the floor. Compare all four measurements and choose the fit group that best matches your proportions. The measurements below are Held’s leather-suit guide for the sizes offered on this Black / White listing.

See the official Held size chart for the manufacturer's measuring guidance.

A one-piece suit should feel close when standing and settle into position in a riding posture without restricting breathing or movement. If you plan to use a Held eVest or eVest PRO, use Held's dedicated airbag-compatible fit guidance before choosing a size.
