BlackStrap Toddler Base Layers
Little Pine toddler base-layer tops and bottoms are offered in sizes 3T, 4T, 5T and 6T. These styles have a close, slim base-layer fit. Use the child’s usual age-based size and check the product description for any style-specific guidance.
BlackStrap Gloves
BlackStrap Baseliner, Cruiseliner and Jetliner gloves are offered in sizes XS–XL. BlackStrap does not currently publish a consistent hand-circumference chart for these styles, so use the size selector and any product-specific fit notes provided with the individual glove.
How to Measure
Head Circumference: Wrap a soft measuring tape around the widest part of the head, across the forehead and above the ears. Keep the tape level and comfortably snug.
Crown to Base of Ear: Measure from the highest point at the crown of the head straight down to the base of the ear.
Chest / Bust: Measure around the fullest part of the chest or bust, keeping the tape level beneath the arms and across the shoulder blades.
Natural Waist: Bend slightly to one side to locate the natural crease, then measure around that point without pulling the tape tight.
Hips: Stand with feet together and measure around the fullest part of the hips and seat.
Height: Stand barefoot with the back against a wall and measure from the floor to the top of the head.
Sizing can vary by product construction and intended fit. Review the individual product page for under-helmet, over-helmet, compression, slim, regular or relaxed fit notes.
