Asked By:jesscoccaro in American Fork, Utah

My doctor says he measures me at a 9 on each side. I do not think I have seen or heard of someone with that narrow of a chest wall. Is there different measuring techniques? I'm 5ft 2, 108 pounds and athletic. Does this mean I can only go with ultra high profile?
