Visit Allsports to find it is a glorified trainer shop full of hyperactive staff who can't leave you alone for more than 30 seconds without asking 'do you need any help', all of whom are incapable of helping when asked 'have you got a helly hansen lifa versa womens' long-sleeved jersey '

I wear size 16 for tops, and I tend to be a L rather than an XL. The Helly hansen site has a fitfinder, which translates their sizes into cms. Women's L comes out as 100 cm chest , XL as 108 cm. For comparison, the Rohan website gives for a size 16 chest 99 cm, for L 99-104. A 108 cm chest looks more like a size 18-20.
Depending on her shape the men's sizes may fit her better, I think most of my Hellies have been men's (wide shoulders and long arms 🙂
would appear to answer your prayers. I suspect the size guide on the latter refers to chest, not waist, though. Is a size 16 really something like 43"?

any idea what the relationship is between gearzone and venturesport (I dont know if i'm paranoid, but when looking at buying something on the web, I always check physical addresses - and these two both have the same H.O. address !)
If XL is size 16 I'm in trouble. A year's worth of bone idle indolence has added an extra couple of XXs. <Rantette> I get very irritated sometimes with the idea that people who like walking are 'obviously' going to be slim and fit. What about the rest of us? Don't we count? I'm neither slim nor fit, nor as young as I'd like to be, but I enjoy the occasional walk and I reckon I've got as much right as anyone else to be able to stay warm and dry whilst doing so. </Rantette> -- If you can keep your head when all around are losing theirs... then you've failed to grasp some important aspect of the situation.

No idea, sorry - they simply fell out of Google. I presume they are quoting near-identical prices, then ?!
