goalie pad sizing help?

As for blockers if you have a big hand go with the Senior. You might want a pads that will fit perfectly so your five hole is covered correctly in butterfly, without a pad going on the other pad. On the other hand, pads that are too big will restrict your movements when doing butterfly etc and one pad will go over the other one, which you do not want. As for the pads I don’t know either of those personally, most of my gear is Vaughn, Bauer or Brian’s. If you really want to buy online, then if you have a measure tape you could measure from your ankle to the size, to have a look at how tall the size would be on you. You can ask advices for +1 +2 sizes at the store if you’re a butterfly goalie, that could be useful to use more padding and such. The important thing is that your knees sit into middle of the pocket, then you’ll know the pads fits you. Wearing pads that are too small will expose your knees to injury since they will not be protected properly. You are probably gonna fit in about a 30 inch pad....
