How to calculate if I need a curved and straight PVT Hipbelt?Updated 2 months ago

You can determine whether you'll need a Straight or Curved belt by calculating your Waist to Hip Ratio (WHR).

To calculate your WHR, divide your waist measurement by your hip measurement. If the result is 0.85 or lower, a curved hipbelt is likely the best option. If it’s higher than 0.85, a straight hipbelt may be a better fit. If you’re unsure which style will work best for you, we recommend purchasing both to fine-tune the fit, as everyone’s anatomy is unique.
