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.

I bought the mouthpiece for my son and he loves the fit and the feel of it. He said it's the best mouthpiece he has ever owned. So I would say yes.

I purchased these "Youth" helmets for my 10 year old twins... fit them perfectly, so not sure about fitting an adult.

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 are tight for me (5' 11", 172 lbs.) It depends on size of kid and his/her nose. There are all-plastic ones sold by several of the manufacturers that are even a tighter fit. Amazon also has a nose clip for Kayakers that you can squeeze as tight as necessary; just cut off the safety cord. It gives you a custom fit that is completely adjustable.

The bigger size is for adult (120-300 lbs). The smaller one is for children.

Yes we have the ADULT SLIM that is perfect for TEENS, you can buy the ADULT and on the GIFT MESSAGE write down that you need TEENS its just 1.5 inch smaller on both sizes length and width , if they are TEENS and strong built, buy the regular adult (Its fully adjustable on the NECK and waist.. Thank you Donnie

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.

I would say so, if your 10 year old is of average build. It would fit my tall almost 8 yr old. It is super adjustable. I know some 10 year olds that would fit into an adult set better than a youth set. Our almost 8 year old is using a us diver adult mask and snorkel and it works for him.

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.

My son has a small head so I had to get the youth. if he can fit the adult I would get the adult. Not sure there is much difference.

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.

It's hard to say. i am an adult and it doesn't fit me in such a way that it doesn't leak. I am not sure why. but i know that after buying them i just don't use them.

No. Those have a smaller mouth on the bottle portion. I suggest you go take a look at them at a local store first, then you will see the difference. They come in a clear container so you will see the size difference. Then go buy on amazon.

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.

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.

I guess it would depend on how tall he or she is. It does expand a bit, but even at the longest length it isn't too large for my 6-year-old (50 inches tall) to use... so I'm guessing that it would seem small for a 12 year old...
