Thanks.

Thanks,
but I mean (sorry for my english), how to make the good choose ?
Where must I take my measurement ? How I know wich size I need.

Like on this picture ? Top of Sternum to the top of navel ?

i’d start with going by your BDU top size, then go up or down in plate size depending on whether you want/need more coverage or more mobility.

someone who actually uses them for a living can chime in if i’m incorrect.

How tall are you?? How much do you weigh?? Chest size (girth measured under the armpits and across the nipples)?

MM gave a pretty good guideline with the BDU top. Most average people can use a medium and have plenty of coverage of vitals and good mobility.
