Collection: SOLO Rhythmic Gymnastics | Apparel & Accessories | Indigo Sports

The most reliable way is to measure the gymnast's height and chest circumference and compare them with the size chart for each item. For example, size 32 corresponds to a height of 128-134 cm and size 36 to 146 cm. If she falls between two sizes, think about which one will stay comfortable for longer. For shorts and leotards, sizing is by number, so check the details on each product page.

Measure the length of her foot and find the matching range on the product page, as each size lists its length in centimeters. For example, size M (36-37) is for a foot of 23-23.5 cm and XS (33-34) for 21-21.5 cm. Half-shoes should fit snugly, without wrinkles, so they turn well and don't slip.

The combined-materials model has faux suede on top and natural split leather on the sole, designed for pirouettes, with no foam padding. The sealed-seam model has foam padding to cushion jumps and a quick-dry lining. The model with Solo Silver has an antibacterial treatment with silver ions. There is also one in synthetic leather (stretch faux suede) and another in a knit sock style.

Double shorts combine a loose top layer with a fitted inner layer, with mesh fabric models in colors such as black-lime or black-pink. Shorts with built-in briefs have the briefs integrated, and half-foot leggings are fitted and leave the heel open. Choose based on how comfortable the gymnast feels when moving and what she prefers to wear in the gym.

SOLO knee pads have an anatomically molded cup to protect against impact, and the terry versions are made of stretch knit for bumps and minor injuries. Half-foot leg warmers, in seamless knit, retain heat and come in heights from 30 to 60 cm. The thinner ankle warmer helps support the ankle.
