What size bike, snowboard or skis?

Size charts disagree by about one size, and most are written by a shop selling one brand. We read the brands’ own charts, put them side by side, and tell you why a size fits.

Your height

Sizes from your height alone. Each calculator adds what else matters.

One rider, four size names

A rider 175 cm (5′9″) tall, sized from each brand’s own published chart. This is why we show your size at the brand you’re looking at, not one letter for everyone.

How a size is worked out

1

Your measurements

Height, and inseam or weight or boot size where they matter. In cm or inches. Nothing is sent to us; your browser remembers your last numbers.

2

Published charts

Brand and shop charts read on their own pages, each with its link and the date we checked it. How we size.

3

One size and the reason

A size to start with, the size either side when you’re close, and a plain line on why. No brand pays for a result.
