Measure Your Body
Use a flexible tape and take body measurements while standing naturally without pulling the tape excessively tight.
Motivra Size Guide
Find the fit that moves with you.
Performance clothing works best when fit supports the activity. Use accurate body measurements, consider how you prefer your sportswear to feel, and compare those measurements with the sizing information shown for the individual Motivra product.
Measure before choosing
Use a flexible measuring tape and compare your measurements with the sizing details for the specific product.
Fit compass
Start with measurement, then consider movement.
A useful size choice combines your measurements with the way you want the garment to perform during training, running, outdoor movement, layering, and everyday active use.
Check the Product
Use the sizing information shown for the individual product because construction and intended fit can differ between categories.
Consider Movement
Think about whether the garment will be used for compression, running, training, trail movement, recovery, or layering.
Choose Your Feel
Decide whether you prefer a close performance fit, balanced everyday fit, or added room for movement and layering.
How to measure
Use consistent measurements for a clearer fit.
Measure over lightweight clothing or close to the body where appropriate. Keep the tape level, avoid pulling it too tightly, and record each measurement before comparing it with the individual product sizing information.
-
01
Chest Measure around the fullest part of your chest while keeping the tape level across your back.
-
02
Waist Measure around your natural waist without holding your breath or pulling the measuring tape tightly.
-
03
Hips Stand naturally and measure around the fullest area of your hips and seat.
-
04
Inseam Measure from the upper inside leg toward the point where you prefer the lower garment to finish.
Measurement studio
Focus on one measurement at a time.
Select a measurement below for a focused guide. Repeating the same method each time gives you a more consistent reference when comparing product sizing.
Upper body measurement
Chest
Place the measuring tape around the fullest part of your chest. Keep your arms relaxed, maintain a natural posture, and make sure the tape stays level across your back.
Keep it level
The tape should remain horizontal rather than rising or dropping across your back.
Stay relaxed
Measure in a natural position without expanding your chest or holding your breath.
Fit by product
Different performance pieces ask for different fits.
The best size depends on both body measurements and product purpose. Use these fit considerations alongside the size information shown on the individual product page.
Core tops
T-Shirts, Tanks & Long Sleeves
Consider chest measurement, shoulder comfort, movement through the torso, and whether the piece will be worn alone or layered.
Support
Sports Bras
Prioritize the product-specific sizing information and consider the balance between secure support and comfortable movement.
Compression
Compression Shirts
These are intended to sit closer to the body, so use measurements carefully rather than choosing solely from your usual relaxed size.
Training bottoms
Shorts & Biker Shorts
Waist and hip measurements are especially useful, along with your preferred level of room through the thigh.
Stretch fit
Leggings
Compare waist and hip measurements while considering the close stretch-focused fit expected from performance leggings.
Active comfort
Joggers
Consider waist, hips, leg room, and whether you prefer a streamlined athletic fit or slightly more relaxed movement.
Trail function
Trail Pants
Balance waist and hip measurements with freedom through the legs for walking, climbing, bending, and outdoor movement.
Outer layers
Jackets, Hoodies & Fleece
Consider chest measurement plus the base layers you expect to wear underneath before choosing your preferred size.
Fit spectrum
Think about how the garment should feel in motion.
Not every Motivra product is intended to sit on the body in the same way. Product construction and use can change the appropriate fit even when the labeled size is familiar.
Compression
Close performance contact
Common when the garment is designed to sit firmly against the body during training and movement.
Fitted
Streamlined active shape
Designed to follow the body without necessarily creating the same pressure as compression clothing.
Regular
Balanced everyday movement
Offers a more neutral fit with room for comfortable training, movement, and daily wear.
Layering
Room for performance layers
Useful for jackets, hoodies, fleece, and outerwear when additional garments will be worn underneath.
Between sizes
Let intended use guide the final decision.
If your measurements fall between two options on an individual product's size information, consider the garment type and the way you want it to perform rather than relying on a single rule for every product.
Prefer a closer feel?
For products designed around a streamlined fit, consider how much close contact you are comfortable with during movement.
Prefer more room?
Consider the option that provides additional ease when unrestricted movement or relaxed wear is your priority.
Planning to layer?
Account for the T-Shirt, Long Sleeve, Compression Shirt, or other layer you expect to wear underneath outerwear.
Choosing trail apparel?
Prioritize comfortable range of motion through the waist, hips, seat, and legs for varied outdoor movement.
Size questions
Clear answers before choosing your fit.
Use these general guidelines together with the specific sizing information shown on the product you are considering.
Use the sizing information provided with the individual product. Construction and intended fit can differ between T-Shirts, Sports Bras, Compression Shirts, Leggings, Trail Pants, Jackets, and other categories.
Not necessarily. Use your body measurements and the sizing information for each specific product because compression, stretch, layering, and construction can influence fit.
Compression Shirts are intended to fit closer to the body than regular tops. Compare your measurements with the product-specific sizing information and choose a fit that remains appropriate for movement.
Waist and hip measurements are particularly useful when evaluating Leggings and Biker Shorts. Also consider the intended stretch fit and your preferred level of compression.
Compare waist and hip measurements while also considering the freedom of movement you need through the seat and legs for walking, climbing, bending, and trail activity.
Consider your chest measurement and the amount of layering you expect underneath. Rain Jackets, Windbreakers, Softshell Jackets, Hoodies, and Fleece Jackets may need different amounts of room depending on use.
Consider the product's intended fit and your preference for a closer or roomier feel. Layering needs, compression, stretch, and activity type can all influence the better choice.
Motivra offers free returns and exchanges within 30 days, giving you flexibility if the original fit is not right for your needs.
