Bauer Supreme F50 Pro Gloves

Every brand, and often every model, has its own size chart. Take your measurements using the methods below, then check the chart on the product page. Use a soft tape measure and measure over a thin base layer.

How to measure

Helmets

Helmets usually come in small, medium and large, but the ranges overlap and change from model to model. Always use the chart for that helmet. A good fit is snug but comfortable, sits about a finger's width above your eyebrows, and lines your ears up with the ear holes.

Shoulder and elbow pads

Shoulder pads are sized by chest, and elbow pads by forearm length. Most charts also list height and weight as a rough guide. Pads should feel snug but not restrictive. Loose pads shift about when you play.

Gloves

Glove sizes are given in inches, such as 13" or 14". That's the size of the glove, not your hand measurement, so match your hand length to the chart. Your fingertips shouldn't press into the ends, and the cuff should meet your elbow pad without a big gap.

Shin guards

Shin guards are also sized in inches. Brands measure in different ways, so check which method the chart on the product uses. When fitted, your knee should sit in the centre of the knee cup.

Hockey pants

Most charts go by waist size. Bauer asks you to measure your waist where the pants sit, then take off 3 inches for men or 4 inches for women to get your pant size. Other brands work differently, so always check the chart on the product. Hockey pants should overlap the top of your shin guards.

Typical sizes by age group (Bauer)

Other brands split their ranges a little differently. Sherwood's junior shin guards, for example, run 11 to 13". Treat the age groups as a rough guide and go by your measurements.
