Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Is an eu 50 in salopettes equivalent to a 40 inch waist uk size, as i am a Bat Fastard

40 inch chest I think (roughly 32 waist), though why they would measure salopettes in chest size I wouldn't know.

PS this could be entirely wrong.

No. I understand that EU measurements are in cm whilst UK measurements are in inches. Thus a eu 50 would be a uk 20" waist.

Timbobaggins, I reckon that's referring to chest even though it's on a pair of pants. So, sounds like they are for an average bloke with a puny 40" chest. Errm... try 'em on?

FWIW, I'm a EU size 52 in a suit, and I've got a waist of 34-35 inches, and a decent chest size to go with that (haven't measured it in a long time but shirt size of 16.5 is usually good. 5'11 and 89 kgs.

So I guess EU 50 may be for a waist size of 33-34 inches?

Nice, actually a top body builder like myself tends to be large, but when you say 40 inch waist everyone asumes you are a Bat Fastard, so i go with the flow.

I struggle to get a ski jacket as well due to my steroid induced pectoral muscles wink

if she swung them about you might have to change the shocked look to Big Wink Big Wink

The average male adult chest is around 40". Average woman is 36". Average 12 year old around 32". Sounds like you might not be an average family which is not always a bad thing.

I'm a size 10 in UK but buy size 38 in trousers/jeans in Spain - your size 40 could well be something like a 32 in UK.

Timbobaggins, Check out the sizing chart at Snickers workwear. www.snickersonline co.uk.

From memory i think an EU50 is a 34"waist/32" leg. Hope this helps...

According to the Mammut ski website EU50 = French 44 = Italian 52 = UK 34
But...
the agent for Descente in NL sent me a chart showing
French 44 = Italian/German 52 = US 36 and actually measures 37in round the waist

so much for l'harmonie européenne
