Built from 300+ rider reviews across 20+ Dainese products.

Dainese sizing at a glance

Runs small

233 of 357 women riders reported it runs small.

0% of riders kept their size after buying.

Most riders size up one if they're between sizes.

TCX and Dainese run the same for me (Size 36 shoes / EU 42 jacket). If you're between sizes, size up. Dainese tends to fit slim through the torso.

Dainese sizing & how to measure

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

  • Chest

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

  • Bust

    Measure around the fullest part of the bust, keeping the 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.

  • Hips

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

  • Outseam

    Measure from from the top of your hip bone (typically inline with your navel) to the bottom of your ankle bone, along the outer side of your leg.

  • Inseam

    Measure from the highest point of your crotch down to your ankle, along your inner leg.

  • Height

    With no shoes on, stand with your back against a wall and your feet together. Measure from the floor to the top of your head.

  • Arm (Shoulder to Wrist)

    Standing up straight with your arms at your sides, measure from the Acromion or summit of your shoulder, down to your wrist bone, along the outside of the arm.
