Held women's textile size guide

Measure your waist and hips in centimetres and compare them with Held's body-measurement chart. Held uses D-prefixed codes for its women's regular textile sizes. The Shopify options below map directly to the product SKUs. Inside-leg measurements are in centimetres.

Held recommends trying protective clothing on with expert advice where possible. Knee armour should sit over the knee in the riding position without restricting movement.
