Sizing and Fitting Information for Lead Aprons (Adults)
The following sizing chart caters for our most popular (standard) sizes. If you need help selecting the right size, please refer to the measuring guidelines below the sizing table.

Sizing Chart for Vest Lead Aprons
1. How to Measure for the Correct Vest?
Wrap the tape measure around from back to front, keeping the tape measure parallel to the floor. Run it around the widest part of the bust and then mark where the tape ends meet the second measurement.
2. What Vest Style Should I Choose?
When choosing a vest, along with due consideration for the style selected and its suitability for the user, you must pay attention to both chest and waist measurements. In general, we recommend you choose a snug fitting garment, for maximum protection. The sizing chart shows the actual garments chest measurement (plus some additional ease).
All our vests measure the same, however, you have to consider how they fit the user according to his/her shape.
For example, our Tailor-Fit Vest is a slim fit, whereas our Full-Wrap Vest has a more generous fit.
Usually, where there is an overlap, the user will have more room to adjust the vest to his/her liking. On vests without overlap (Tailor-Fit, Ergo-Fit, Ergo-Fit+) it is very important to take the correct measurements to avoid a sizing issue.
For the Easy-Fit Vest measurements refer to the Section “Sizing for Front Aprons” below.
Sizing Chart for Skirt Lead Apron
1. How to Measure the Skirt?
When taking measurements, please ensure that you are standing straight with your legs slightly apart and that you are wearing flat shoes.
To find the natural waist, stand straight and then tilt slightly to the side where the body creases. That is the natural waistline. The measurement has to be taken at the narrowest point of the torso.
To take the waist measurement, wrap the tape from back to front around the waist and then mark where the tape meets the second measurement.
To measure around the hips, position the tape around the fullest part of your bottom or thigh area (traditionally 20cm below waist is correct).
Make sure your tape measure is straight around the body.
2. Tips on Choosing the Right Skirt Size
When choosing a skirt, along with the due consideration for the style selected and its suitability for the wearer, you must pay attention to both Waist & Hip measurements.
Our skirt is High Waist. This is the reason why it is important to take the waist measurement in the correct place, as a difference of a few centimetres could put the user in a bigger size, that would not fit correctly. Also, bear in mind our skirt has an overlap of 35cm, they are not seam-to-seam protection.
In general, we recommend you choose a tight (smaller than your actual waist) fitting waistline, unless the hip measurement will not allow you to select the smaller size.
Sizing Chart for Wraparound Lead Aprons
1. How to Measure for the Wraparound Apron?
Wrap the tape measure around from back to front, keeping the tape measure parallel to the floor. Run it around the widest part of the bust and then mark where the tape ends meet the second measurement.
To find the natural waist, stand straight and then tilt slightly to the side where the body creases. That is the natural waistline. The measurement has to be taken at the narrowest point of the torso. To take the waist measurement, wrap the tape from back to front around the waist and then mark where the tape meets the second measurement.
To measure around the hips, position the tape around the fullest part of your bottom or thigh area (traditionally 20cm below waist is correct).
2. What Wraparound Style Should I Choose?
The models Semi-Wrap Apron, Full-Wrap Apron, Backsaver and Coat Apron are straight fitting garments. When you choose these models, you have to take the waist and hips measurements into consideration as a bigger waist might cause the apron to not close properly.
For the Double-Sided Apron, please refer to the section “Sizing for Front Aprons” below.

Sizing for Front Aprons
1. How to Measure for Front Aprons?
The measurements should be taken in the same way as the wraparound aprons, but these garments are manufactured according to their width. You can see in the charts above that there are less size options, but they cover a wider range of chest measurements. This allows for more flexibility when choose the size.
Our Easy-Fit Vest and Double-Side Aprons are not fitted garments and can suit users with more unusual shapes as it is open on both sides and allows for more adjustments.

What Else Do I Need To Know?
You also have to consider the disproportion of figures. Very few people are exactly proportional to the ‘standard’ but most people will be within a tolerable range. However, you must give consideration to anything excessive (largeshoulders, excessive waistline or chest etc.).
If you are unable/not confident to select, please supply measurements to AmRay and we will advise to the best of our ability. We can’t see the users, so our suggestion will be based on the assumption that the measurements have been taken in the correct position.
Remember, every user is different! Shape of the user and personal preferences come into play when choosing the perfect garment. In order to choose the correct garment, we also recommend the use of “skins” (garments without core material) that will allow users to try on the different models and sizes and select the ones that are adapted to their shape and size.
Please contact AmRay if you require skins or if you have any doubts regarding a size.
