Black Diamond uses a rather bewildering number of size ranges. Men's garments may be sized as S,M,L etc, or by waist size in inches. Women's garments may be XS,S, M etc or US number sizes, 4, 6, 8 etc, which are two sizes smaller than the equivalent UK ones. This is all rather confusing - we have tried our best to make sense of it!
