Men's Compression Wear Size Guide
Measure once. Order right. Most returns come from sizing down — here's how to get it right the first time.
Core Rule
When in doubt, size up. Compression works by distributing even pressure — not by squeezing as hard as possible. Sizing down causes rolling, digging, and bulging. If your measurements fall between two sizes, always choose the larger size for all-day comfort.
How to Measure Yourself
Chest
Wrap the measuring tape around the fullest part of your chest, under your armpits and across your shoulder blades. Keep the tape level and breathe normally.
Waist
Measure around your natural waistline — just above your belly button. Pull the tape snug but not tight; you should be able to slide one finger under it.
Compare & Choose
Find your measurements in the size chart below. If you're between sizes or your chest and waist fall into different sizes, choose the larger size.
