I have been fortunate to be selected as a runner (volunteer) for the IAAF World Athletics Championship. The uniforms are being supplied by Asics. I have never worn any Ascics clothing and have been unable to find a local shop stocking Asics so can't try any on. I have looked at the Ascics website size chart and am confused. My chest size fits in the M range, my waist is on the cusp of L and XL, and my hips are L. I need to give sizes for t-shirt, jacket and trousers. I am happy to have a snug fitting t-shirt, but would like my shorts, trousers, hoody and jacket to be a comfy fit. Does anyone know how generous (or not) their sizes are? For most other brands I tend to be M.

Are you in the unofficial Runner's Facebook group? Lots of people (including me) trying stuff on and reporting back.

Hi WM - I was given some Asics gear last year - I asked for my usual sizes - so M (12) top and S (10) capris - they were much in line with other makes I've had. The M shirt is not snug on me but I wouldn't say they were over generous (I have quite broad shoulders so S shirts don't tend to fit too well for that reason.

Yes FDNB I am on the FB group. However, thought I would also ask here as I feel I know the peeps here whereas those on FB are strangers! Thanks AL. |

When are you picking up, westmoors? I'm going on the 5th and actually got a measuring tape out to try and work out which size. Must check out the Facebook group. |

Fragile Do Not Bend
When I tried stuff on I found that I was the size I should be according to the size chart. I probably could squeeze into a smaller size top if I wanted a particularly fitted look (I don't) or a size bigger if I wanted the top baggy. I did come out as XXL (!) for waist according the chart and XL for hips, the shop only went up to XL for the jogging bottoms and that fitted me fine, with room to spare as it was a drawstring waist. The XL top was a good match for my Nike top in L, if that helps. |

P.S I'm the person with green top in the changing room photos, so everyone knows my measurements now!
