YES ! GO Skins ! !! Also , cheers to the Ravens ! <| sep |> This would be a cool idea if it were a real team . <| sep |> Is the sidebar a get out clause for anything ? Or could it be argued that the sub and comments as a whole are rather far from academic in nature , and people are giving advice knowing that it may well be acted on ? <| sep |> The very general rule of thumb is that if you have more than a 2 difference between your snug and tight measurements , you ' ll want a band size somewhere between your snug and tight measurments it ' s pretty rare for someone to prefer a band smaller than their tight UB . If you have less than a 2 difference , you ' ll probably want either your snug measurement or slightly larger . As other have emphasized though , you ' re really going to have to figure out via trial and error . I think the last time I measured my tight was around 28 and my snug was around 29 , and I generally wear 30 bands anything that stretches less than ~ 29 tends to be uncomfortable .
