chestsized

Chestsized is an adjective used to describe objects or garments whose dimensions are defined by the measurement of the chest. In practice, a chestsized item is sized to accommodate a given chest circumference, with fit especially determined by the chest measurement rather than by overall length or other body dimensions.

The more common form in published writing is chest-sized, with a hyphen; the closed form chestsized appears primarily in product catalogs or informal contexts.

Common contexts include clothing, sports equipment, and protective gear where chest circumference is a primary fitting criterion; for example, a chestsized jacket might be labeled for a 40-inch chest.

Alternatives: It is often clearer to say “sized by chest measurement” or “chest measurement-based sizing.”
