Fitting Notes & Tips
-
Alpacka’s sizing is based on a preferred fit — a medium knee bend with your feet on the foot brace. At first this may feel less secure than a deep bend, but once you get used to it, it balances comfort and performance. Still, fit is personal, and you can go tighter or more relaxed based on preference.
-
Consider sizing up if you have long legs or broader hips for your height, or if you want a bit more comfort and storage space. A larger size often feels more relaxed on longer trips.
-
Choose a smaller size if you prefer a tighter, performance fit. A deeper knee bend can improve thigh-strap engagement and boat control in whitewater. Sizing down can also help if you have shorter legs relative to your height.
