I comfortably wear a 35 in Vaughn and the general thinking is CCM = Vaughn - 1, so I thought I'd be comfortable in a CCM 34. I got to try on a 34 in whatever the next level down from pro is in the EF4 and it felt too small, definitely not a confirmation oft the Vaughn - 1 rule.
I agree with @seagoal with the sizing. I used to wear 35+1 Velocities, but have been in 34+1 RetroFlex pads for 5 years now, as I was also told the CCM fit a bit larger than Vaughn, which is correct. My knee is slightly above the middle of the knee cradle and I'm about 6' tall. I can't remember my ATK measurement. Honestly, I could wear a 35+1 in the CCM and not have a huge issue with it -- my knee would be just below the middle of the stack.
That chart is pretty dead on as someone who's played in EF3 and 4 over the past few years. Your +1/2/etc sizing would be measured the same as FTK, just with the centre of knee to desired height on thigh.
But a lot of it has to do with how you decide to break the stiff in or even how you strap your pads. An inch too big or too small won't make a huge difference as that sizing can be manipulated with those two ways.
I went with a 34" CCM EF1 one year, and felt they were a smidge too tall in the shin.
Did an imprecise eyeball measurement and compared them with a 33" EF1.
They looked to be about a half inch different on the face of the pads, from the boot seam to the bottom knee roll seam.
I can't imagine much has changed in sizing over the years.
That's interesting. I was in Koho since the Revolution days right up until their last line with the 590 in 33".
After that, I only fit into 32" in every brand. So either my body shrunk somehow or (what I think happened) the sizing on all pads changed.
"Backcountry snowshoeing means breaking trail to a destination of your choosing. You're not following tracks and you're relying on your ability to route plan and navigate. This could be a single day or multi-day trip." - Ambassador John Soltys
"I think of Day Hiking as involving a light pack with food, water, first aid and emergency overnight gear. Still hills, ridges and lake crossings. It may also involve more established trails." - Ambassador Tim Taylor
"I think of trail walking as more level terrain, for example a rail trail. I think it's a good way for beginners or less confident winter folks to get comfortable on their snowshoes." - Ambassador Sheila Goss
Whether snowshoeing in the backwoods or exploring steep pitches above 10,000 feet, we've got a specific traction setup just for your. The effectiveness of Tubbs traction is maximized by strategically placing heel and toe crampons under the weighted regions of the snowshoe deck, ensuring that with each stride, the crampons deliver the deepest penetration in the snow.
*User Weight refers to the total weight of the user plus anything they are carrying, such as a pack, equipment, etc. Each product page has a more specific sizing chart to determine which size will work best for you.
Instead of traditional shoe sizing, ski boots are sized in mondo (or mondopoint) sizing. The mondopoint measures the length in centimeters of the boot's inner sole. Sound like we're speaking a different language? Use our conversion chart and revolutionary Ski Boot Size Calculator to figure out your optimal ski boot size. Take a look at the advice below for additional notes on how you should size your boots, depending on skill level, personal preference, and navigating different boots on the market.
This chart is designed to assist you in selecting a square shaped chimney liner. The top row shows the original round liner dimensions; the bottom rows shows the dimensions of the liner after it is squared. You can also try our Liner Shape Calculator.
Our 316Ti flexible chimney liner and chimney liner components have passed the rigorous testing at the Underwriters Laboratories with best in class status and are UL Listed. So if you are looking for UL listed chimney liner sold directly to homeowners, then look no further than Rockford Chimney
As flexbox is a one-dimensional layout, as opposed to CSS Grid which is two-dimensional, you can allocate free space along the main axis (whether that be top to bottom, bottom to top, left to right, or right to left). You can set the direction of the main axis using the flex-direction property. If you need a refresher on how this works take a look at my tutorial about flexbox alignment.
The browser has used the default value of flex-grow, which is 0, and gives us total inflexibility. This arrangement might be a good solution for some layouts, however, you can also make the items cover the whole space by setting flex-grow to 1:
In the above example, all flex items have the same flex-grow value, so they grow at the same rate. However, you can also make them grow according to different ratios. For instance, .item-1 can take up twice as much of the available space as the other items. We would write that as follows:
Similarly to flex-grow, you can also set a different flex-shrink value for each flex item so that they can shrink relatively to each other. Play around with the values in this example and see what impact they have:
However, when the value of flex-basis is something other than auto, it overrides the value of width (or height in case of vertical layouts). For example, the following CSS overrides the default width: 20rem; rule with a respective value for each flex item:
As flex-basis defines the initial value of flex items, it's the basis the browser uses to calculate flex-grow and flex-shrink. Note that while flex-grow and flex-shrink have relative values (0, 1, 2, etc.), flex-basis always takes an absolute value (px, rem, content, etc.).
If you take what we covered and apply it to a vertical layout set by flex-direction: column, allocation will happen along the vertical (top-to-bottom) axis and the sizing properties will modify the height of the flex items.
I'm a tall skinny person making finding anything that fits a real PITA. I used the size guide on the Demon website and guess what, I'm 19cm, which put me on the border of medium and large. I ordered the mediums as I have very thin wrists and medium is suggested by Demon for teens and adults with thinner wrists.
They arrived yesterday and the fit feels OK but according the this retailer website proper fit is determined by the "flex zone" being over the wrist pivot (makes sense) and the guard not extending further than the knuckles.
When I tried the medium size on I felt that the "flex zone" was actually ahead of my wrist pivot (closer to my fingers) but the guard probably shouldn't be longer as it would extend beyond the knuckle. The "flex zone" still moves when I pull my wrist back but maybe not as well as it should. These are expensive guards so I want to get the best protection from them I can.
The flex joint on mine (medium) looks to be slightly forward of my wrist joint (but there's still overlap of course). The top of the my guard is slightly below my knuckles. They feel 'just right' in terms of comfort.
When I'm strapped in, the flex joint in the top splint is almost exactly aligned with the center of the area where my wrist flexes back, maybe a little bit forward (toward the fingers), but just slightly. The hard plastic part of the upper splint ends right where my knuckles do. Some padding extends forward of the knuckle line, but that seems like a good thing. If my hand gets cranked back against that plastic lip during a fall, I think I'm going to appreciate a little padding.

I think that is good design also. But the material between the top and bottom sections seems very thin and if you have a jagged nail, might rip while pushing the hand in. Probably doesn't matter much, the straps are plenty long enough to hold everything together.
So the large size Flexmeters arrived today and I think that is the size I am going to go with. There is significant difference between the length of medium vs large. More than I was expecting anyway. Width is also significantly wider with large but that doesn't seem to affect the comfort or fit considering my wrists are stick thin (the upper plate curves around the wrist when tightened so the width is largely irrelivant.
The official size guide only has you measure your middle finger to wrist pivot. Nothing to do with wrist circumference or anything like that. However, it does have footnotes that suggest medium size for adults with thin wrists and large for those with a beefier build. To me however you just need to go with the length measurement.
