What size would be best for a 17 year old

Depends. If he is shirt size S, M or L, a small. If he is shirt size XL or XXL, a large. (According to manufacturer's website.)

I would go with an adult size. One difference between youth and adult is the length of the straps. With an adult size you can shorten the straps, but you can't lengthen them on a youth size.

I would purchase a size med. The vest is very nice and my grandson loves it!

I think a large would be the minimum. Also depends on how much gear you have. I would probably select an extra large to be safe.

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.

I would agree with your proposal of the sizes increasing from small to medium to large. ..I'm 6'2 and use the 17...If your 5'9 or above I'd recommend the medium and 6'0 and over the large.

You need to measure the size of your leg just above your knee, then use the sizing chart listed for the brace. The large fits well for a 17 inch leg.

Question unclear. Did you mean to say would any size "work" for a 14 year old? I'm 6-3 200 pounds and an XL is big enough for me. I would think a medium would fit many 14 year olds.

I would say a small becouse, I'm 18 and the medium fits me but my hands are probably smaller than the average 18 year old. So I'm assuming a small would do for him.

it depends on how much he weighs. If he is average size, I would get a small. They are true to size. My granddaughter was 7 when I got hers and she is petite and the small was perfect for her. So, being a boy, I would say small and he should get at least a good year of use. I hope this helped you! Have a Merry Christmas and good luck

I would definitely go with medium. These are very tight. I was barely in the large range and there would be no way to get into the smaller ones for me.

Go with a medium. I have bought them for both my sons at that age. They are average size boys. Small was very tight and uncomfortable.

I think Medium would work best. My son had M for a while and switched to Large because they became too tight. He's 95lbs. If you get Large, they may be a little big but not overly big.

I would recommend the medium. We ordered for our 9 yr. old grandson and they fit perfectly.

Medium is meant for 5"4 to 5"7 so medium is probably the best fit for him. I'm 16 and 5"11 yet I use medium because they're little and light and being the forward I want to be I think it's best but that's my opinion and one day it'll probably screw me over but yeah medium for a safe nice fit

My wife is 5'4" so we bought the 17. It might depend on how long your legs are. I'd find a size 15 or 17 bike and sit on it to try it out. That is what we did.

Based on the sizes available on amazon I would suggest small, medium and large for the sizes. The size 4 will most likely be the hardest to find the right size for, an extra small would probably be the best fit. I hope this helps.
