<Height: 172CM, 64KG, standard body type>

<front>
*Long-sleeved T-shirt worn as inner layer


Height: 172cm, 64kg, standard body size S... [Comfort: △]
■Length: About half the length of the hip, so it does not hinder movement.
■Width (waist): A long-sleeved T-shirt is worn as an inner layer without any cramping feeling. But if you wear a thicker piece like a hoodie or sweatshirt as an inner layer, the fit will be a little tight. If you are about 170cm tall and have a slender figure, we recommend that you choose size S.
■Sleeve length: It feels short when you raise your hand. If you are 170cm tall but have long hands, we recommend choosing size M.


Height: 172cm, 64kg, standard body type
M size...[Comfort level: ◎]
■Length: Approximately 2/3 of the hip, so it does not hinder movement.
■Width (waist): Even if you wear thick clothes such as hoodies or sweatshirts as an inner layer, you will not feel cramped and can be worn just right. Because it is the most suitable size, it can effectively transmit body temperature to the down jacket, and it is believed that it can demonstrate the inherent thermal insulation performance of the down jacket.
■Sleeve length: The S sleeve length is shorter, but the M size has enough sleeve length to hold your hands up.


Height: 172cm, 64kg, standard body size L... [Comfort: 〇]
■Length: The length completely covers the buttocks. If you sit down, you can adjust it by opening and closing the W zipper. There is no excess fabric on the abdomen that will cause abdominal sagging.
■Width (waist): Even if you wear thicker clothes such as hoodies or sweatshirts as an inner layer, you will not feel cramped and there will still be enough room. Even if you wear thicker underwear, you won't feel any pressure. This size is recommended for users who like a loose fit.
■Sleeve length: The length is enough to cover the back of the hand. You can adjust the length with Velcro, so you don’t have to worry about the sleeves being too long.


Height: 172cm, 64kg, standard body type
XL size... [Comfort: ✖]
■Length: Completely covers the hips and feels a little uncomfortable when moving. Even when sitting on it, the fabric hangs down due to the length, almost like wearing a coat and a half.
■Width (waist): There is enough space even when wearing thick clothes such as hoodies or sweatshirts as an inner layer. As a result, cold air can easily enter, and the inherent thermal insulation properties of the down jacket are not fully utilized.
■Sleeve length: enough to completely hide the hands. Even if you use Velcro to adjust the length, the fabric will become saggy. XL will be too big overall.
