Where to buy a snowboard jacket?

gf debate bust size snowboard jacket clothes

• my gf is a bra size 36D. she wants to buy a burton kids snowboard jacket, XL, or XXL. the XL is chest size 41, the XXL is chest 43". we are having a debate, is her chest size including her bust. or not. so what chest size should she get for her jacket. (of course she will wear a sweater, and want it to not be too tight.) this is a 2 part question.

• Answer:

  Hi markp-ga, In answer to your first question: yes her chest size will include her bust. The 36D you mentioned is a measurement derived from taking a measurement underneath her bust and adding either 4 inches or 5 inches depending on what the underneath measurement comes to. For sizing, the industry asks women to measure the bust from the fullest part of the bust. With arms relaxed down at sides, measure fullest part of the bust/chest keeping tape measure parallel with the floor (in other words straight around). Second part: It appears that she will be comfortable in a kids size XL. I hope this helps!
