509 sizing & how to measure

Measure yourself once, then match it to 509's chart on any product page. Here is exactly what to measure for each kind of 509 gear.

  • Chest

    Measure around the fullest part of your chest, under the armpits, keeping the measuring tape parallel to the ground.

  • Waist

    Measure around your natural waistline, around the top of the hip bones, inline with the navel while keeping the measuring tape parallel to the ground.

  • Arm (Neck to Wrist)

    Standing up straight with your arms at your sides, measure from the base of your neck at the center of your spine, along the top of your shoulder and down to your wrist bone, along the outside of the arm.

How 509 fits women, from real riders

What riders praise

  • CE level 2 tailbone protection stands out among base-layer shorts
  • Stretchy, breathable material wears comfortably under riding pants
  • Grippy waistband and thigh bands stay in place during long rides
  • Low profile under regular riding pants, armor is not noticeable

Watch-outs

  • Fit varies, some riders found them slightly large and could have sized down
  • Crotch pad is wide and uncomfortable when standing or walking off the bike
  • Not all padding sections are viscoelastic; CE 2 rating applies only to the tailbone pad
