AXIAL sizing & how to measure

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

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.
Hips
Measure the circumference, from pelvic bone to pelvic bone, at the widest part of your hips below the waist.

What riders praise

Breathable enough to wear under gear in TX summer heat
Good stretch with a fit that holds its shape through the day
Serves double duty as a base layer under motorcycle gear or everyday use
A thin wind-blocking base layer that genuinely cuts the chill on 35F to 45F rides and warms you back up faster afterward
The rise sits high enough to stay put while riding, and the stirrups keep the legs from riding up under your outer pants
Thin enough to layer comfortably under riding pants or loose jeans

Watch-outs

Runs tight in the chest for fuller busts, riders with larger cup sizes should order one size up from the chart recommendation
Size range tops out at XL, which may not work for all builds
Runs long in the leg, which most riders liked but is worth knowing
A couple of riders found the calves a little tight, and the fabric can cling to outer pants when you swing onto the bike
Fit is inconsistent and oddly proportioned, roomy in the chest but tight in the shoulders for some riders
Not designed for smaller chest sizes, roomier in the upper chest than expected
