Size guide
The Shopify size label is shown alongside the corresponding Dainese EU size and official body measurements. Measure your waist horizontally just above the top of the hip bones while standing naturally. Measure your hips around the fullest point and your inseam from the crotch to the floor without shoes. Use the body measurements rather than relying only on your usual trouser size.
