My daughter is a tall almost 11 year old, should I purchase the youth or adult size for her?

I would get the youth for a good snug fit as the adult may be a bit big and you do not want the mask to move

Tough call. It really doesnt have anything to do with height, more head size. It does have adjustable straps and chin pad, but if it is still too big will definitely affect her field of vision by not being secure. I would prob say go with youth for now.

I bought youth size a year ago for my daughter. She is using it for every game and really likes it. It takes a little time to get use to it. She is almost 12.

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

My guess would be youth. I personally have a Large that fits well, and I'm 5'11 and 230lbs. Best of luck.

As the description states, these are adult sized. I'm sure they sell youth versions also.

I bought these for my 11 year daughter last year. I would buy one size up from what she normally wears as the large was tight on her with her clothes under it. I think an XL will be fine.

Well I can say that my daughter is 7 about the size of an 10 yr old and it fits but I hear from others on her team that the adult fits better. Or at least for age 10 & up

My 12-year old daughter has a full size. I got the mini for my 7 year old so I would say he would outgrow the mini too quickly.

I have an 11 yr old step daughter who wears a size small in a troxel helmet. This should fit her until she is a young adult at least.

Well, I think it would be safe to get the youth one, however if you believe he is going to quickly pass the 110 lbs mark you could get these and wait a bit. To be honest though, I am 110 lbs and being the bare minimum doesn't add much spring to my step. To get the best out of this size, the best weight for it would be somewhere in the middle to end of the range.

I would say if your son is average size he probably would wear the adult size. We have the children's size and it is very small. They are very stretchy (like a sweat band)but you would not want it to be too tight.

I have twin 11 year old daughters and we purchased theses sea bands when they were just 6 years old. At that time they fit great and we used them often. We still use them on occasion but they do complain that it is too tight now. they have a small bone structure and small wrists. So it might be best to go with an adult size. Good luck!

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

How large is the 12 year old? Have they have already hit their growth spirts? If yes, then go adult. On the shock doctor website there is a fit guide with dimensions, consult that first. If you honestly don't know then buy an adult and trim down the ends with scissors.

I bought one for my 7 year old daughter, who is a little tall for her age, and it's perfect. You might need to get a strap, especially of your child is petite.

I bought the youth size. I think the XXS may fit as well. You may get a few extra seasons as they grow.

Medium should fit perfect and allow her some time to grow into it. Our daughter was almost two when we purchased and around 23lbs and she used it right away. She still has more growing room. You should be fine.

If your 10 year old would typically wear a youth Large or Xlarge I think that the adult XS would fit her.
