Helpful Information
- If you do not have a soft/flexible tape measure, please use a shoelace, piece of string, ribbon, or anything similar you may have. You can then use the length of that item against a straight ruler to determine the exact measurement
- Always measure at least a couple of times just to be safe
- Jumper tip: we recommend starting off by focusing on the 'chest' measurement for the jumpers as a first step - the 'back' measurement is not as crucial. It is okay for the jumper to be a little short or a little long down the back as this will not cause your iggy any discomfort,
- Full suit tip: we recommend starting off by focusing on the ‘back’ measurement for the full suits as a first step – if the iggy does not measure within the length of the suit, they will not fit well into the suit and may be uncomfortable when worn
