GAIA Fit Guide

Note: As you know, we carefully listen to every players feedback. Based on these feedbacks we improve our sizing carefully from time to time to make the fit and feel of our high quality GAIA apparel better every time. Our last big overal size change on tops was in 2011, so if you are planing a re-order for an order that was initialy made in 2010 or earlier, you will find detailed information about the 2011 size change here.
