For the Inspiration/Evolution they recommend, that while wearing a t-shirt, measuring from the bottom of your trousers belt at the front over the shoulder, and down to the belt at the back. They then give three sizes:

under 100cm - Medium
over 110cm - Large
over 125cm - XL

In Practice, if you can get a pool session on someone's unit, try it out. I'm over the 125cm measurement thanks to my, ahem "winter insulation" but a large counterlung fits fine.

l'm a big guy and l've got large counter lungs, which is what they recomend, however l wish l'd got medium. It take about 1.5 lungfulls to empty my large lungs, also having medium would move the lungs further up and leave my waste area clearer.
