Do the adult snorkels have a bigger mouthpiece then the youth size? My 12 year old may be in-between.

The adult size is a bit bigger. I would recommend the adult one for your 12 year old if he's bigger. If you have one for yourself, have him try it out. I hope this helped.

Hi Kimberly, I purchased these for my son in the spring, he was 12 and appx 110 lbs. I figured he'd keep growing. His friends had the "youth" size and he already was at the max. The springs work based on your weight. We decided to get the adult ones and we are happy with that decision. He can now use these for years to come and you don't have to worry about reaching the max weight and needing a bigger size. My son is at the low end of the weight scale for his and he will be able to use them for years. The adult ones are heavier duty then the kids size. I hope that helps. I understand it is an investment and you want to get the right size for now and in years to come. Happy Holidays, Melissa

This is for youth ages 10-12 try looking at the adult sizes but this equipment has been great

We have not used for snorkeling, but my twin daughters (age 7) have used theirs at the pool all summer without a problem. They love them!

You most likely want to get them junior size goggles. We think these would most likely be too big for them.

It depends on how big/small your 12 yr old is. I bought a youth L for my 9 yr old petite daughter. She is small framed, but not pencil thin. They fit her nicely and comfortably. I hope this helps. For an average sized 12 yr old they would probably be too small unless the child wants them skin tight.

No - they have a pretty wide mouth and the caps are not attached. My 6-year-old did well with them though. Not sure how well a younger child would do.

I'm an adult and they fit better on mine than they did on my grandson. He is very tiny for his age.

Definitely the larger for your older. If your younger is on the bigger side, especially with head size, I would get the larger for them, too. My boy finally will swim under water because of these!

I bought one for my 12 yr old and had to send it back because it was too small. Go with the adult small.

They have both kids and adult sizes. If the item does not specify a kids helmet it should be adult. They do, however, run small.

My 7 year old head is on the small side and this is way too big/loose for him. I would think the adult size is still too loose even for the biggest headed 6-7 year old. But the youth may be too small. I've not seen the youth so I can't say.

My wife says that it fit her well. She is about 6', 160 lb. She used hers a couple times. We were probably out for a couple hours, with breaks, I don't think she had any problems. I obviously got a mens set. The are pretty well constructed, the snorkel worked really well. Hope this helps.

No, they are adult size. They do make this type of thing for a child but I'm not sure what age. They are not the most comfortable things to put in your ears and you need to use some force. If you are concerned, I would talk to your child's doctor. They may have some suggestions to relieve any pain.

It came with the larger, what I consider to be an "adult size head". I ordered kids size replacements and they were much smaller than the head it came with.

I have small ear canals and they fit me great - so yes, small adult ears. I don't know if they would fit kids ( probably teens, but I don't know about any younger)

We got the adult set and my grandson was 10 1/2. He loves them. I would say since your son is 12, the adult set would be better so you don't have to turn around and get another set in a year or two.
