1. How to Measure Yourself Correctly

Accurate measurements are the foundation of getting the right size. You need a flexible tape measure — the kind used for sewing, not a rigid builder’s tape. Take measurements in a t-shirt, not over a bulky layer.

Chest Measurement

Wrap the tape measure around the fullest part of your chest — typically just under your armpits, across your shoulder blades at the back and across your nipple line at the front. Keep the tape snug but not tight; you should be able to slide two fingers underneath. This is your chest circumference. Write it down.

Shoulder Width

Measure from the outer edge of one shoulder to the outer edge of the other — across the back of your neck. This measurement helps with fit in the shoulder seam, which is particularly important for hunting hoodies where shoulder movement matters.

Torso Length

Measure from the top of your shoulder (where the seam sits) down to where you want the hoodie hem to fall — typically at or just below the hip. This tells you whether a hoodie will cover you adequately when you raise your arms or bend forward in a tree stand.

�� Pro Measurement TipIf you are buying a hunting or outdoor camo hoodie and you plan to layer it over a thermal base layer, take your measurements while wearing that base layer. The hoodie needs to fit over it comfortably. Most hunters should add 2 to 4 inches to their chest measurement and size up accordingly.

2. Understanding Camo Hoodie Fits — Hunting vs Streetwear

Fit Type	How It Sits	Best For	Sizing Rule
Relaxed / Hunting Fit	3–5 inches of ease at chest	Hunting, fishing, layering	Size up 1–2 sizes from usual
Regular / Standard Fit	1–2 inches of ease at chest	Camp, outdoor casual, everyday	True to size
Slim / Athletic Fit	Close to body, minimal ease	Streetwear, urban daily	True to size or size down
Oversized Fit	5+ inches of ease	Fashion statement, streetwear	Size up 1–2 sizes intentionally

For hunting use, always buy a camo hoodie in a relaxed or regular fit and size up. You cannot layer comfortably in a slim-fit hoodie, and restricted shoulder movement in a tree stand creates a genuine safety problem. For streetwear, buy your normal size or size down for a cleaner silhouette.

3. Men’s Size Chart

Size	Chest (inches)	Chest (cm)	Shoulder Width	Body Length	Fits Best
XS	34–36″	86–91 cm	17″	26″	Slim men, teen boys
S	36–38″	91–97 cm	18″	27″	Slim-average build
M	38–40″	97–102 cm	19″	28″	Average build
L	40–42″	102–107 cm	20″	29″	Average-large build
XL	42–44″	107–112 cm	21″	30″	Large build
2XL	44–46″	112–117 cm	22″	31″	Large-XL build
3XL	46–48″	117–122 cm	23″	32″	XL-2XL build
�� Men’s Sizing RuleFor hunting or layering: take your chest measurement and add 4 inches. Find that number in the chart above and order that size. For streetwear: order your exact chest measurement size, or one size down for a slim fit.

4. Women’s Size Chart

Women’s camo hoodies from our collection use unisex or men’s sizing. Use the measurements below to find your equivalent size.

Women’s Size	Chest (inches)	Equivalent Men’s	Fit Style
XS (Women)	32–34″	XS Men	Slim — streetwear fit
S (Women)	34–36″	XS–S Men	Regular fit
M (Women)	36–38″	S–M Men	Regular fit
L (Women)	38–40″	M Men	Relaxed fit
XL (Women)	40–42″	L Men	Oversized fit

Women who prefer an oversized camo hoodie — a popular styling choice — should order 2 to 3 sizes up from their standard women’s size. A size M woman in a men’s XL camo hoodie gives a relaxed oversized silhouette that pairs well with leggings or bike shorts.

5. Youth and Kids Size Chart

Our kids’ camo hoodies are available in youth sizes for older children. These are standard youth athletic sizing.

Youth Size	Age Range	Chest (inches)	Body Length
YXS / 4–5	4–5 years	23–25″	17″
YS / 6–7	6–7 years	25–27″	19″
YM / 8–9	8–9 years	27–29″	21″
YL / 10–12	10–12 years	29–31″	23″
YXL / 14–16	13–16 years	31–33″	25″

6. Toddler and Infant Size Chart

Our Campfire Fleece Infant Full Zip Hoodie and Toddler Full Zip Hoodie use the following sizing. Full-zip design makes dressing and undressing significantly easier at this age range.

Size	Age Range	Weight (lbs)	Height (inches)	Chest (inches)
6M	0–6 months	12–16 lbs	24–27″	16–17″
12M	6–12 months	16–20 lbs	27–29″	17–18″
18M	12–18 months	20–24 lbs	29–31″	18–19″
24M / 2T	18–24 months	24–28 lbs	31–33″	19–20″
3T	2–3 years	28–33 lbs	33–37″	20–21″
4T	3–4 years	33–38 lbs	37–41″	21–22″
5T	4–5 years	38–44 lbs	41–44″	22–23″
�� Infant Sizing TipIf your child is between sizes, always size up for infants and toddlers. Children grow quickly and a slightly larger hoodie will last longer. The full-zip design accommodates a range of sizes comfortably without restricting movement.

8. How Outdoor Brands Size Compared to Streetwear Brands

This is the most important sizing insight I can give you: outdoor-oriented camo hoodies brands — including ours — typically run true to size or slightly larger than streetwear brands. This is intentional. Hunting and outdoor hoodies are engineered to be layered, not worn as a single outer layer over nothing.

Brand Type	How They Size	What This Means for You
Outdoor / Hunting Brands (ours)	True to size or slightly large	Order your normal size for camp / casual use. Size down for slim fit.
Streetwear / Fashion Brands	Often runs small or true to size	Size up if buying for outdoor or layering use.
Athletic / Performance Brands	Usually true to size	Size up for hunting and layering. True to size for athleisure.

9. Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do camo hoodies run large or small?

Outdoor camo hoodies typically run true to size or slightly large because they are designed for layering. Streetwear camo hoodies may run slim. Always check the specific product size chart on the product page. When in doubt for hunting use, size up — you can always wear a camo hoodie without the base layer underneath, but you cannot shrink it.

Q: Should I size up in a camo hoodie?

For hunting and outdoor activities where you will layer base layers underneath: yes, size up one to two full sizes. For everyday casual wear or streetwear: order your normal size. For a deliberately oversized fashion look: size up two to three sizes.

Q: What size camo hoodie should I buy for a gift?

If you do not know the recipient’s measurements, size up by one size from what you think they wear — especially for a hunting or outdoor gift. A slightly larger camo hoodie is far more useful than one that is too small. See our Camo Clothing Gift Guide for more gift suggestions.

Q: What size camo hoodie for a toddler?

Use our infant and toddler chart above. For the Campfire Fleece Toddler Full Zip Hoodie, we recommend ordering one size up from the age range — toddlers grow quickly and the full-zip construction accommodates a comfortable range of sizes without restricting movement.

Q: How do I know if my camo hoodie fits correctly?

A correctly fitting regular-fit camo hoodie should: sit at or just below the hip, have the shoulder seam aligned with your actual shoulder, allow you to raise both arms fully without the hem riding up, and have cuffs that reach your wrists without covering your hands. For hunting, add two to three inches of ease at the chest to confirm layering room.
