Product catalog summary
Introduction
This document provides guidance on selecting the appropriate seat size for Tessier adaptive ski equipment. It includes instructions on taking necessary measurements and additional considerations for choosing the right seat.

Seat Sizes and Options
Tessier offers one children's size and six adult sizes, ranging from size 1 (smallest) to size 6 (largest). Options include low or large backrests, foams, straps, or special cuts.

Measurement Instructions
  • General Information: Provide weight, size, disability, and ski level. Measurements A, B, and D are crucial.
  • Measurement A (Hips Width): Ensure legs are closed and use two parallel objects like books to measure the width twice for accuracy.
  • Measurement B: Taken at the top of the backrest, typically at sternum height.
  • Measurement D: Measure chest circumference at the same level as measurement B.

Additional Considerations
If previously used a Tessier seat, provide the size and feedback on fit. For seats from other brands, provide inside width at the hips and specify if the seat is plastic or composite. Measure backrest height from the cushion to the top inside the seat. Wheelchair users should also provide wheelchair seat width.

Conclusion
Accurate measurements and additional information about previous equipment usage will help in selecting the most suitable seat size for optimal comfort and performance.
