The core of choosing the size of ice hockey jerseys is based on actual body measurements, not just height and weight, while also reserving space for protective gear. Ice hockey jerseys are different from everyday clothing, as they require a full set of protective gear such as chest guards, elbow guards, and leg guards to be accommodated inside. Therefore, the size selection needs to balance fit and activity space.
1、 Core measurement steps 1. Measure chest circumference: Use a soft tape to horizontally wrap around the fullest part of the chest, with an elasticity that can reach 1-2 fingers. This is the key data for choosing the size of the top. 2. Measure waist circumference: Use a tape measure to horizontally wrap around the thinnest part of the waist, leaving 1-2 fingers of space to match the size of the pants. 3. Measure shoulder width: The straight-line distance from the left shoulder endpoint to the right shoulder endpoint, ensuring that the shoulders of the shirt are not too narrow or too wide, which may affect movement. 4. Measure pants length: Measure from the waist (waistband position) to 2-3 centimeters above the ankle to avoid being too long and affecting skating, or too short and exposing leg guards.
2、 Precautions when referring to size chart 1. There are differences in size standards among different brands, and the wearing experience of other brands cannot be directly applied. 2. Prioritize “centimeters”: specific values such as chest circumference and waist circumference in the size chart. 3. Pay attention to the “Pattern Description”: Some brands may label “slim fit” or “loose fit”. For slim fit, choose a size that fits better, while for loose fit, you can choose a size smaller. 4. Check the “Protective Equipment Compatibility Tips”: Professional ice hockey suit size charts usually indicate the thickness of protective equipment that can be accommodated in that size, so choosing according to this prompt is more accurate.
3、 Standards for trying on or judging fit If there are fitting conditions, you can judge whether it fits well by the following points: Top: When the arms are extended, the hem can cover the upper edge of the waist protection; When lifting the arm, the waist will not be excessively exposed; No tightness in the shoulders, unrestricted movement. Pants: After fastening the waistband, the waist does not slide; When bending the knee, the pant legs will not retract above the knee; The pant legs can naturally cover half of the upper of the ice hockey shoe. Overall: After putting on the full set of protective gear, perform movements such as bending, turning, and swinging without obvious restraint, and without shaking the clothing due to excessive looseness.
