Use a measuring tape and measure the circumference of the chest roughly 1” below the armpit. Cross-reference this measurement with the following RSI (respiratory measurement): 38”.
Use the measurement indicated on your RSI to determine the circumference of the chest. If the measurement is performed below the charted portion, the measurement is in inches.
Use the measurement indicated on your RSI to determine the circumference of the chest to the next size below that of the previous size.
Use the charted portion of the measurement to determine the circumference of the chest to the next size below that of the previous size.

Taking all of these results into consideration, it is important that the size you choose is right for you and your son. He is 5” and wearing a size 21T and is interested in purchasing a chest protector. If he is 5” and wearing a size 21T and is interested in purchasing a chest protector, then he should go with a size 5. The sonogram should show the size he is in right now.
How do you measure the chest for shoulder pads?
I’m 5’10 and my shoulders measured at 15 and a half and my chest size is 37 so I’m confused on which pads size to buy and was wondering if you could tell me. Thank You
Thanks for the comment Ryan. I just wanted to say that I have a son who is 5 and a half and his shoulders measured at 15 and a half and his chest measured in at 43 so I’m confused on which pads size to buy and he’d be able to tell me that.
In all, the son’s measured pads should fit him):
If the son has a hard time walking or playing in the locker room, he or she should probably get a different personal trainer. You should also get a hard hat with different levels of protection so that the player can wear it in the game or in warm-ups.
When sizing a shin pad, there are many variables to consider, such as the size of the hat, the size of the knee flex or the knee flex of the leg. To help you in your selection here are the sizes he’d fit into for each shoulder pad you mentioned (please note, the adult shoulder pads are position-specific, but typically that doesn’t change the sizing, so if he plays another position, the size should still fit him):
I’ve always been told to focus more on the shoulder measurements, than on your chest measurements when buying new shoulder pads. Because most shoulder pads let you easily adjust the chest fit, that measurement is more of a grey area. The important thing is to have proper coverage of your shoulders, and since there is no play at all in the shoulder coverage of pads, I’d suggest always following your accurate shoulder measurements.

Thanks for the comment Ryan. As a rule of thumb, when sizing shoulder pads you always want to err on the side of the shoulder width. Your son’s shoulder pads need to cover his entire shoulders to provide the right amount of protection, and unfortunately, shoulder pads can only be adjusted in the chest, not in the shoulder width. If the shoulder pads you purchase give him some extra room in the chest, but adequate shoulder protection, try tightening the shoulders pad straps as much as possible. If there is still too much space, he can always try wearing a
Different shoulder pads define their sizes differently, so without knowing which shoulder pad you’re looking at, I couldn’t say to go with a large over a medium. But almost all major brands’ youth shoulder pads have a size that fits shoulder width 17″ – 18″ and chest 38 – 40″. Although this doesn’t fit your son’s shoulders exactly 100%, a half inch difference won’t reduce the protection, and will still cover him adequately. He should fit in them quite comfortably. Please let me know which shoulder pads you had in mind, and I can give you the exact size to go with. Thanks!
All great shoulder pads! Your son is right on the cusp between wearing youth and adult sized shoulder pads, so sizing can definitely get tough. In my opinion, based on his size and age, I’d suggest going with a larger youth-specific (Junior Varsity) pad, over a smaller adult one.

Measurements In inches will go to personal preference as it is based on preference and not product price. The chart is not specific to any item or brand so if a product does have specific sizing guidelines on the product page, please feel free to add more space below the product name.
More times than not, restrictions on what an item can’t wear is found in the fact that so many pieces of gear are hand-crafted from the same material. The fact is that it takes a great deal of technical knowledge to make sure that a product’s shoulders, chest/arm and hips are not disruptive and ineffective while also offering superior protection. While a 100cc lighter will do some damage to the shoulders, it will do so quickly and efficiently. A lighter is more durable, will last longer and is usually worn by the elite than the general public. When you get a lighter, feel free to add more space below the shoulder to accommodate more gear. While a 75cc lighter will do extra damage to the shoulders, it will still do a great deal of damage to the chest/arm.
