I have decided to order a polar FT 7 heart rate monitor. of course when I measured for the chest strap size I am at the top of one size or the bottom of the next size.

So how do they fit?

    I;d go for the smaller one and shrink into it. :smile:

    I'd go smaller for another reason. They stretch as you shrink:-)

    Ya they have plenty of stretch. =) and you want them tight if you hard cardio so they dont slip.

    you want it fitting snug too. I would go with the smaller as you will shrink into it.

    I agree with everyone else! Choose the smaller one-- they stretch! I have an older 1 and it got so too big, I have to design my own strap!! DEFINATELY SMALLER!!!
