Our webbing is sized by the length of the hippo pad we sew the pouches on to, not by the number of pouches you have, so you need to know what length of hippo pad you need first.
The length of our hippo pads are;
XSmall = 25.5"
Small = 27.5"
Medium = 30"
Large = 32"
XLarge = 34"
(Other sizes are available on request)
As a guide, ideally, you don't want the hippo pad to come any further forward than your hips, so as to prevent leg rub whilst running, and so you still have access to your pouches when lying on the deck.
There are a few different ways to find out what size you are;
- Measure yourself from one hip bone round your back to the other hip bone (i.e. where you want the hippo pad to start and finish). Compare this length with the measurements give above. See main pic.
- Use a tape measure to measure out the length of our hippo pads, and wrap this around you to see where the hippo pad will sit. E.g. measure out 30" (for a medium) and see where that comes to on you.
- If your current webbing fits you properly, lay it on the floor with the buckles facing towards the floor, and measure across the back of the pouches from one end to the other. This is only a rough guide but will give you an idea.
Remember to measure yourself wearing the clothes you would usually wear your webbing with - i.e. don't measure yourself naked! (Unless of course this is how you usually wear your webbing...).
Pictures 2 & 3 show a set of webbing which is too big for this person- it comes round too far and rubs the leg when moving.
Pictures 4 & 5 show a correctly fitting set, which doesn't interfere with movement.
If you are larger or smaller than the lengths given above, or you want to chat about sizing, or bespoke features, please contact us.
Please note webbing is made to order so please be sure of size BEFORE ORDERING, ring us if you are unsure.
