Size & Fit Guide
FIND YOUR
MOVE.
Performance clothing should move with you, not against you. Use this guide to understand body measurements, fit profiles, layering room and the way different Kynaro categories are intended to feel during training and everyday movement.
Choose the size that supports your range of motion, layering preference and intended activity.
START WITH YOUR BODY.
Use a flexible measuring tape over light clothing or close-fitting activewear. Keep the tape level and comfortably close to the body without pulling it tight.
Four measurements that matter.
These reference points help compare your body measurements with general apparel sizing while keeping movement and intended fit in mind.
Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape horizontal across your back.
Measure around the narrowest point of your torso without holding your breath or tightening the tape.
Stand naturally and measure around the fullest point of your hips and seat.
Measure from the upper inner leg toward the ankle while standing straight and relaxed.
BUILD YOUR BASELINE.
The charts below are general body-measurement references for comparing size ranges across Kynaro performance categories. They are not finished garment measurements, and individual products may fit differently.
Tops & Layers
Useful for performance T-shirts, tanks, long sleeves, compression tops, hoodies, training jackets and functional outer layers.
| Size | Chest | Waist | Hip | Typical fit direction |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| XS | 31–33 | 25–27 | 33–35 | Close profile |
| S | 34–36 | 28–30 | 36–38 | Streamlined profile |
| M | 37–40 | 31–34 | 39–41 | Balanced profile |
| L | 41–44 | 35–38 | 42–45 | Comfort profile |
| XL | 45–48 | 39–42 | 46–49 | Roomier profile |
| XXL | 49–52 | 43–46 | 50–53 | Extended profile |
Bottoms & Training Layers
Useful as a starting point for training shorts, running shorts, tights, leggings, training pants and thermal lower-body layers.
| Size | Waist | Hip | Inside leg reference | Movement note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| XS | 25–27 | 33–35 | 29–31 | Close and mobile |
| S | 28–30 | 36–38 | 29–31 | Streamlined movement |
| M | 31–34 | 39–41 | 30–32 | Balanced movement |
| L | 35–38 | 42–45 | 30–32 | Comfort through motion |
| XL | 39–42 | 46–49 | 31–33 | Roomier movement |
| XXL | 43–46 | 50–53 | 31–33 | Extended movement |
SIZE IS ONLY HALF THE FIT.
Two garments in the same marked size can feel different when one is intended to sit close to the body and another is designed for airflow or layering. Read the silhouette before deciding whether to size up or down.
Compression Fit
Designed to sit close to the body with minimal excess fabric. This profile is commonly associated with compression tops, close base layers and supportive performance pieces.
- Expect deliberate body contact.
- Choose your measured size for the intended close feel.
- Size up only if you specifically prefer less compression.
Performance Fit
A streamlined athletic silhouette intended to support movement without feeling overly restrictive. Common across training tops, shorts, running wear and many active layers.
- Closer than casual everyday clothing.
- Built around motion rather than excess volume.
- Use your measured size for the intended balance.
Relaxed Layering Fit
Designed with additional ease for comfort or layers underneath. Often useful for hoodies, jackets, weather-resistant shells and versatile everyday performance pieces.
- More space through the body and movement zones.
- Consider what you plan to wear underneath.
- Avoid unnecessary sizing up if layering room is already built in.
BUILD ROOM WHERE YOU NEED IT.
Functional dressing works best when each layer has a clear role. A base layer can sit close to the body, a training layer can move freely above it, and an outer layer can allow enough space for both.
Keep the profile relatively close for thermal activewear, compression pieces and next-to-skin performance layers.
Training tops, long sleeves and lightweight hoodies should allow natural reach, rotation and flexion.
Jackets and wind or water resistant pieces need enough room to move comfortably over the layers you actually plan to wear.
THINK IN MOVEMENT.
Your preferred fit can change with the activity. A close silhouette may make sense for running or a base layer, while gym training, mobility work or outer layers may benefit from more space through selected movement zones.
Closer where control matters.
Streamlined silhouettes can reduce excess fabric during repeated motion. Check mobility through the shoulders, hips and knees rather than judging the fit while standing still.
Room where mobility matters.
Squat, reach, rotate and extend before deciding that a fit works. Performance clothing should remain comfortable through the full range of movement you expect from the garment.
WHEN YOU SIT BETWEEN TWO SIZES.
There is no single rule for every garment. Use the intended silhouette and your own movement preference to make the final decision.
You want the intended compression feel.
For close base layers or compression-oriented pieces, the smaller compatible size may preserve the intended streamlined profile.
You prefer more everyday ease.
A larger compatible size can create more breathing room through the torso, waist or hips when you do not want a close athletic silhouette.
You expect to wear multiple layers.
Consider the combined volume of your base and mid layers before choosing a hoodie, jacket or weather-resistant outer layer.
The product page gives specific guidance.
Product-level measurements, silhouette notes or category-specific sizing should override this general guide whenever available.
FIT, WITHOUT THE GUESSWORK.
Use these quick references before choosing your size. For help with a specific product, contact Kynaro with the product name and your relevant body measurements.
Contact SupportShould I choose my usual clothing size?
Your usual size can be a useful starting point, but performance apparel varies by silhouette. Compare your body measurements with the relevant product information and consider whether the piece is intended to be compression, streamlined or relaxed.
What if my chest and waist point to different sizes?
Prioritize the measurement that most affects the garment. For tops and jackets, chest and shoulder comfort may be more important. For bottoms, waist and hip measurements usually deserve more attention. Always consider the product's intended silhouette.
Should compression wear feel tighter than a regular training top?
Yes. A compression-oriented silhouette is intended to sit closer to the body than a standard performance top. It should still allow natural breathing and movement without creating unwanted restriction.
How should I choose a jacket size for layering?
Think about what you will realistically wear underneath. If the jacket already has a relaxed or layering-oriented cut, your measured size may provide enough room. If the product is intentionally streamlined, you may prefer additional ease.
Do all Kynaro products use exactly the same measurements?
No. Kynaro includes different garment types, silhouettes and constructions, so product-specific fit information can differ. The general charts on this page are reference points rather than universal finished-garment specifications.
How can I get help before ordering?
Contact Kynaro and include the product you are considering, your usual size, relevant body measurements and whether you prefer a close, standard or roomier fit. This gives the support team useful context for answering your sizing question.
CHOOSE THE FIT THAT MATCHES HOW YOU MOVE.
Explore performance tops, training bottoms, jackets, functional layers, running wear, cycling wear, thermal activewear and more. If you need sizing guidance for a specific item, the Kynaro team can help you review the available fit information.
