Online shopping is not difficult - the whole secret is in measuring your body properly and choosing the right size. Each product has a description, thanks to which we will know the specifications of the fabric from which a given model is sewn, and a size chart that makes it easier to compare the dimensions. Check out this short guide to proper sizing.
Please keep in mind that sportswear is created strictly for the sport you intend to practice. Some of the sports require more fitted clothing, while others - slightly looser. Please take this into account when comparing your measurements to those given in the size chart. This is especially important if you are on the borderline between two sizes. When choosing sportswear for running, a T-shirt or shorts do not have to fit your body perfectly. The case is different if you will exercise in them at the gym - then it is recommended to choose a fitted outfit, so that it does not slip off during training.
Choosing the right size also depends on the type of clothing, and thus the fabric from which it was sewn. Thermoactive clothing is made from various materials, so please check the specification each time. Sewn solely from elastane or polyester, it will be more stretchy than a fabric containing a blend of cotton. It must be taken into account when choosing the size.
Thermoactive clothing is designed to fit snugly and protect the body from the cold. If it is too loose, it may lose its properties.
The DIAMOND Seamless collection is a seamless garment made of extremely stretchy and highly elastic fabric. The clothing thoroughly wraps the body around and fits it perfectly, so you can choose the size you usually wear, or even one size down.
Women's sportswear
Sports bra
To be sure that the selected bra will serve you well, you need to carefully adjust its size. You should measure your circumference under the bust (this dimension will be needed if you choose a bra, for example, from the DIAMOND Seamless collection). It is best to take the dimension at the height of the sternum. It is best to round down the obtained result. So when you get the size of 86 cm, it is best to choose a bra with a size of 85 cm. This is to hold the bust well and keep it in place. Rough Radical bras are sewn from stretchy fabrics, so there is no concern that they will restrict movement. Checking the circumference of the bust itself looks a bit different - here the size must be selected as precisely as possible. Please note - it must always be measured while wearing a bra with soft cups. You will also need your height to choose the various types of sports bra.
When choosing the right bra, it is important to consider its purpose in terms of the type of sport you will practice. The type of support it has: low, medium, or high. Check the product specifications to see if the bra or top has inserts - this is important for more intense training.
Women's sports shirts
To choose the right size of a sports shirt, measure the circumference of your chest and waist. It is also a good idea to find in your wardrobe a matching blouse with a similar purpose made of a similar material and measure it flat. This will be a very good reference point when comparing your measurements with the size chart on the product page.
PLEASE NOTE!
Women's sportswear is sewn from a more stretchy fabric, so if the dimensions given in the size chart are slightly smaller, it is worth choosing this size.
When choosing the right size of the shirt, it will be necessary to determine its purpose. For running, the shirt can be looser, while for gym training the best shirt will be one that fits snugly and does not restrict movement.

A sports sweatshirt is one of the elements of outerwear, which you need to take into account when choosing the right size for you. In order for the sweatshirt to fit and properly fulfill its function, it is necessary to measure the circumference of the chest and the hips at the widest point. In addition, you will need the length of the trunk from the front and back to the waist and from the armpit to the waist. It is also important to measure the arm from the armpit to the wrist and from the collarbone to the wrist.
Thermoactive sweatshirts are made of highly elastic material that adapts to the shape of the body. So you can choose a slightly smaller size. Choosing a much smaller size may cause the material to show through and lose its properties.
Sports leggings/ shorts
Proper selection of sports leggings is very important due to the fact that they are the ones that facilitate most of our movements without restricting them during training.

To choose the right shirt, you should measure the width under the armpits so that the shirt does not pinch while cycling. Then you also need to check the height of the trunk at the front from the collarbone to the hips, as well as at the back. This should be done in order to select the proper size so that the shirt does not slip off during biking.
