How does Hurley size? The ultimate guide to finding your perfect size in Hurley t-shirts, boardshorts, and clothing
If you're thinking of buying Hurley clothing and are unsure about which size to choose, you're not alone. One of the most frequent questions before buying a t-shirt, boardshorts, hoodie, or pants from this brand is whether Hurley sizes run large, small, or true to size.
The good news is that Hurley generally has a fairly standard sizing, although there are differences depending on the type of garment and the chosen cut. In this guide, we'll explain how Hurley truly sizes, what you should consider before buying, and how to get it right the first time.
Does Hurley run large or small?
Generally speaking, Hurley runs true to size.
If you usually wear a size M in other surf or casual fashion brands, it's most likely that you'll also need a size M in Hurley.
However, some garments have differences depending on the type of cut:
-
Regular fit t-shirts usually run true to size.
-
Some premium t-shirts may have a slightly slimmer fit.
-
Boardshorts usually fit true to your usual waist size.
-
Hoodies and jackets usually offer a comfortable and relaxed fit.
For this reason, we always recommend checking the specific measurements when available and comparing them with a similar garment you already own.
How should a Hurley t-shirt fit?
Before choosing a size, it's important to know how you like to wear your clothes.
Some people prefer a more fitted look, while others seek a more relaxed, surf-inspired appearance.
Classic Fit
This is the most common option.
The t-shirt falls naturally over the body without being too tight or too loose.
If you're looking for this result, you should usually choose your usual size.
Loose Fit
If you prefer a more relaxed style or a looser surf look, you can go up a size.
Many customers who are between two sizes often opt for the larger one to achieve this effect.
Slim Fit
If you like the t-shirt to fit closer to the body, especially in the shoulders and chest, you can stick to your usual size in premium or slim-fit models.
How does Hurley size in t-shirts?
Hurley t-shirts usually have a very balanced sizing.
Most models use a regular fit that is comfortable for everyday wear.
The most common sizes are:
-
S
-
M
-
L
-
XL
-
XXL
As a general reference:
-
If you are between 170 and 180 cm tall and have an average build, you will typically wear an M or an L.
-
If you are over 180 cm tall and have a broader build, L or XL are usually the most common options.
How does Hurley size in boardshorts?
Hurley boardshorts usually conform quite well to standard waist measurements.
Most models are sold in numeric sizes:
-
28
-
30
-
32
-
34
-
36
-
38
As an approximate guide:
| Size | Approximate Waist |
|---|---|
| 30 | 76-81 cm |
| 32 | 81-86 cm |
| 34 | 86-91 cm |
| 36 | 91-96 cm |
| 38 | 96-101 cm |
If you are between two sizes and are looking for more comfort for walking or spending the day at the beach, it is usually advisable to choose the larger size.
How does Hurley size in hoodies and jackets?
Hurley hoodies usually have a comfortable and slightly relaxed cut.
They don't usually have an excessively narrow fit, so most customers use exactly the same size as they do for t-shirts.
If you like to wear your hoodies loose or plan to wear them over other layers of clothing, one size up can provide extra comfort.
