 Poster: A snowHead
|
If any of you good lady Snowheads own this brand and could give some guidance, that would be brilliant.
My daughter is a size 8 to 10, but often gets a 12 in a ski jacket, to allow for layering. She ordered an Atomic Small (as the Medium had sold out), on the off chance it would fit...and it was a fraction tight across the chest, so returned it.
She then ordered a Hyra in an Italian Size 44/Medium (UK 12). It was substantially smaller than the Small Atomic....so much so that she is now wondering if even a Large will be big enough.
My Question. Do Hyra Jackets run very small...and if so, by how much?
Many thanks for any insight.

very small. My wife, typically a 12, couldn't fit into a 14 and we had to go for an 18 to get a degree of comfort.
The type we looked at was stretchy, but the are very small sizing.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Yup - they run small, but mine has been very good so if you can get the sizing right, a good buy

Cheers.
In your case, how many sizes up did you have to go?

2 of my kids got hyra jackets last year, From either sport pursuit or TK maxx heavily discounted. Very impressed with the quality.

Yup, that's what my daughter said, so I'm hoping the Large fits.

Not ideally.
She can (and did) wear it because it's stretchy - but would be better with the next size up. It is well made and warm, but layering needs to be thin, with a Gilet, as the arms are tight.
This is the Women's version though....so I have no experience if the Men's version is the same.

The ladies Hyra's are (or certainly were as looking above my info is 8 years old) quite a fitted shaped as in "in at the waist and out at the hips", my sons men's one was a fairly straight cut.
