How is the sizing of the Revgear Defender Shin guards. What size is recommended for a 12 year old boy, whose calves are 12 inches

Measure the size of the shin pads with respect to His shin length. The measurement is from just below the knee cap to the ankle bone. In his case it would be a smallS - 13" or belowM - 14"L - 15"XL - 16" or above

I don't have kids so I would advise you to go to a retail store first and get him sized there then come back and buy some on line. Sorry I can't be much help.

I have the XL's, and my calves are about 18in and I'm 6' 1" and they fit nicely. The insteps cover nearly my whole size 13 foot, so for the 12 year old boy I would say a medium should fit him well and last until he's about 16 before they are too small.

Check out the link to revgear's site: http://www.revgear.com/product/defender-gel-shin/shin_guardsUnder the image there is a link that says "size chart" on there it says XS for 11.5" shin, and S for 12.5". I recommend the Small, as he is a growing lad :-)I hope that helped. Osu!

I bought size small for my 8 year old son who is slim. I had my son try the protector at the karate studio to see which size fits. Then I bought it here at Amazon as they are too expensive at the studio.This seller is also very good responding to emails. I emailed the seller as the studio said he needed size 2 while they use small, medium, large here.Here is a conversion chart that I got from the seller:Child = 1Small = 2Medium = 3Large = 4Extra Large = 5

Its knee long and the white strip that you see on the top is the only part which is double over. Normally you wear shin guard on skin and then cover it up with soccer socks. Inside part of decent (10-15$) Shin guard is made of comfortable soft material so it shouldn't really be a concern.

Idk but I doubt that the shin guard would be big enough. For kids it is 4 in long. For kids it fits about 3 shoe sizes so maybe the same for adult.

my daughter is five foot tall and LOVES these guards. They run a little small so they should fit your son just fine. Good quality so that should last a while.

Well I am 5'10" and medium fits me just right so small should work. To answer your second question no you do not; you place the shin pads then pull the provided sleeve over it which secures it nicely in place. The fabric for the sleeve is very thin so it might rip on contact if not covered by a sock. Hope I helped.

I bought 12in before my son was 4 years old and he is a little tall. I recommend this bike size before 4 years. I believe he should be good to go for a couple years.

tricky! I wear a regular, and I am 5' 4". They go up to my knees. They are a little big and I sometimes need to re-adjust them when kicking the bag. I think this size should cover your shins and in-step no problem - unless you have those loooooong John Jones legs - then you may have to size up to a large. Good Luck!! :)

Hard to say since that is right in the middle of the Two. The 4 has a large foot, and could stretch to fit the 12. It it was a size 11 I would say for sure get the size 4 but since it is a 12 it could really go either way. Also make sure you take into account for shin guards or other types of padding. I can't give you a 100% accurate answer, but if it was me I would go smaller first since the material is stretchable.

Go here and look at the pictures. One of the pics has a sizing chart. http://www.surefire.com/ep4-sonic-defenders-plus.html

My calf size is 16.5 and the socks fit perfectly. I can insert the shinguards without a problem (this are ~ 3/4 thick shinguards). I hope this answers your concern.

I'd go large. Remember you'll be layering under it. I wish I knew a way to protect the seals at the wrist and ankles. They only seem to last a year, then get gummy. I emailed oneill, but no response.

My son weighs 75 lbs. Medium should work well. The coach said these pads would fit him perfectly next year. They are slightly big on him but not by much. They take the measurements by the chest. Medium are 13 to 14 inches. Measure from edge of shoulder to shoulder.

The sock length is fine, but the size of the foot will probably be to big for her. My son had a size 9, and the foot even with soccer shin guards on was to big and caused bunching. - Hope this helps

I'd go for "large", just enough to protect the whole shin. Enough room for ankle braces / wraps (recommend for extra protection ligaments / tendances, bones, tenderness) on footing of the elastic bands. Be safe, have fun. Remember, kicking with the top of the foot. Talk instructor, or research types of kicks on YouTube.

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.

The length of the shin guard plastic part is only 8 1/2 inches. The width is only 5 inches at the widest point.
