I have a 12 (almost 13 yr old) boy athletic built, but not heavy at all. How do I size him correctly for this? Is youth one size fits all?

My son is 12 now (we bought at age 11 I believe) and barely 80 pounds. We ordered the xs/s size and it fits perfect. My sons bicep is 13" around if that helps.

Jersey does not fit my 12 year old. He isn't interested in wearing the helmet either b/c it is a toy...it is an extremely uncomfortable tight fit for him. My 6 year old on the other hand wears it as much as he can...but only when he is pretending to be in a real game. REMEMBER is is a TOY. NOT a real usable helmet. My 6 yr old still fits the jersey as well.

My son is now 12, he is 5'5" and weighs 125lbs, the equipment fits him just fine .

They have youth size shin guards. You can look them up on the Dick's sporting goods or Sports Authority website(s). I'd suggest a youth small.

My son is 10/12 and it works perfectly for him. Not sure of his height, but he weighs about 80 pounds.

I went up one size for both my young daughters. My oldest complains hers are too tight at one size up. My other daughter says hers fit fine. Go up at least one size, two if you want them to last a bit and just put extra socks on. 3.5 might be too young for theses skates. My girls are fairly athletic at 5 & 6.5 and they can't do them yet without holding my hand the entire time and falling all over the place. Get wrist guards!! Most common injury is broken wrists! Good luck!

My son is 7 and weighs around 50 pounds. He is very slender and tall and it just fits him. He will not be able to wear it after this summer, I imagine it will just be too tight at that point. I hope this helps.

Hi Annie. I would buy your son the Youth size. He will actually use that size up to middle school. I bought the collegiate size for my son as he is a rising college football player. Good luck to your son! I think he'll enjoy the sport as my two sons have. :^)

It will be perfect, no too big. But he will have some growing room. My son is 11 also and in a 10/12. I think the large is the right size to get. My son loves it! And he is picky about how things fit:-)

My son is 8 years old and in a size 6 that fits. He is super skinny though (normal height). If you get a 10 he can grow into it but it might be a bit big. An 8 would probably fit but he might be out of it quickly. I think my son weighs around 50 pounds?

Hi. I agree a small would work, but only if your son likes a very snug fit. A medium would work if he likes a little more room, but still snug. If in doubt have him try on one at your local sporting goods store. Oddly enough, my 17 year old softball player daughter who's 5'7" prefers a Large. It fits snug under her jerseys but allows for more movement so she's not choking.

My son is 10 years old and weighs about 80 lb. and these fit him perfectly (I bought him the Large size this year). He normally wears a size 8/10. Hope this helps!

My son is 12 years old , 5 foot 4 inches and weighs about 130lbs and these pants were too small. He is a size 14 husky in pants. I hope that helps a little.

I guess it would depend on the 12 year old. My son is 11 and is able to use it with no problem, but he is strong and tall for 11. If you are talking the average size 12 year old, I would say probably not a problem, but it does take quite a bit of upper body strength.

I think they have weight recommendations on different models. My son is 14 and they are perfect for him.
