Protective Sizing

Find Your Perfect Fit

Protective gear is only effective when it fits properly — too big and it shifts, too small and it restricts movement. Our sizing charts below are designed to help you find that just right fit across all gear types, whether you’re shopping for youth players or seasoned pros.

How to use this page:

Use a flexible tape measure to take your body measurements.
Match your measurements to the charts inside each section below.
Still unsure? Feel free to contact us — we're happy to help size you up.

TIP: Most players will fit their gear based on height and weight, but hand and limb measurements can be helpful for gloves, elbow pads, and shin guards.

Measure the circumference of your chest roughly 1″ below the armpit using a soft measuring tape, string, or shoelace. Correspond this measurement to the sizing chart and cross-reference your height. Personal preference may come into consideration in case there is an overlap between two shoulder pad sizes. For more coverage, go with the larger size. Choose the smaller size for a lower-profile fit and better responsiveness.

With your arm bent at a 90° angle, measure the length from the back of the elbow to the wrist crease. Correspond your arm measurement to an elbow pad size using the table below. If you are in between two sizes, you can choose to go with the smaller size for a better range of motion and a more snug fit. Going larger will provide you with a little more coverage in protection and more volume in the fit.

Measure the circumference of your waist just above the hips. Correspond this measurement to the sizing chart and cross-reference your height. You may overlap between hockey pant sizes, which in this case comes down to personal preference. The smaller size will fit closer to the body while the larger size will offer more volume and coverage.

Sitting at a 90-degree angle, measure from the bottom of your kneecap to the top of your foot parallel with your ankle. This measurement equals your pad size, which is worn over the skate tongue. This is the most popular style that offers more coverage and is best suited for defensemen and shot-blocking forwards.

If you prefer to wear the shin guard under the skate tongue, simply subtract 1″ from your measurement, which equals going one pad size down. This style provides a lighter, lower-profile, and snug fit that’s suited for the quick and agile player.
