How do you choose size? I am an adult 6 ft tall male with "average" arm circumference. Do I go for the "large"?

I found sizing information at JensonUSA (http://www.jensonusa.com/Fox-Launch-Pro-Elbow-Guard). Small - 6.5 in long x 10.25 in upper opening circumference x 10.5 in bottom opening circumference Medium - 7 in long x 11.25 in upper opening circumference x 11.25 in bottom opening circumference Large - 8 in long x 13 in upper opening circumference x 12.25 in bottom opening circumference

I am 6'2", and I have the standard size which fits great. There is still plenty of slack to either tighten it up or loosen. I would recommend the x-large based on your weight.

I'm only 5'6", 156 lbs, but have long arms. I normally take a 15 1/2 32 shirt and the mediums fit me fine. Try one and return if not satisfied.

I would go for the medium to be safe. It goes by the length of your arm. I bought a large for my 15 daughter and it fits her perfectly. She has long arms!

One of the pictures on the amazon product page is a sizing chart where they advise that you measure the circumference of your hand (without thumb) just below the knuckle and pick the corresponding size from the chart shown. I am 6'0", 200lbs and I would say my hands are normal size for my body type and I ordered size large and mine fit fine for me. Hope this helps, good luck.

It's hard to say. I bought a medium and it fits me perfectly. I'm 71.5in tall and 170lb. The arms are long enough which was my main concern. Being a jacket, it stops just below my waist. It's not extra long there. In a men's size I bet you could wear a medium but it would run a little long in the sleeve as a medium unless you have long arms. I'm a 34 sleeve in dress shirts.

Well I'm 35 and I'm using a Large. It fits really snug and I don't have a big wrist or forearm. I would suggest a medium.

I am 6' and 170 lbs. The XL fits me perfectly. I would go with the medium especially if you ever want to put a layer underneath.

I'd suggest an extra large. I am 5' -6", 175 and am happy with the mediums. My buddy is 5" -8" 190 and the large is best for him. Hope that helps.

I would get the larger size. I am 5ft 4 and it's just right, but I think for a taller person, it would be too small.

I'm 5'7" and the only thing I've got to say on the negative side is that the gear runs on the short side. Given your length, I'd go large. Besides, just make sure the order is fulfilled by Amazon you can easily return then for an exchange. If you've got the cash, you can even buy one in each size, try them on, and return the one you don't like. Still, large is my bet for you. The most important thing is to make sure you've got the right fit for the wrist guards, and these are some of the best I've used. The design is ergonomic, the fit on the lower hands is great, the guards for between your thumbs and hands is great, and the wrist extensions are solid. A bump on a shin or a scrape on an arm can heal quickly. A broken wrist because the guards don't fit right or give you proper coverage given the length you likely have on me, probably a good 2.5" reach each arm, go large and send them back if they're not right. You don't have much to lose if they're right the first time. Hope that helps. Good luck!

The size large is longer (23.5" long). However, the size medium (22" long) should be a better fit for you, given your weight. The sleeves are designed to end where your t-shirt sleeve starts. Also, they will stay up the arm, even with a golf swing for instance, yet not feel too snug.

Get the size you normally where, it runs pretty true to size. Just know that it will be slightly tighter than normal, and the sleeves are just a bit shorter than I woupd like so if you have long arms in comparision to your body you might want to size up but that's a personal preferance. You could also just go into your local sporting goods store as many of them still carry this style, just to see what fits you best.

He is a tall lad all right. But it is the thickness of his arm that should matter. I got large and mine fit me well. My arms are 12 inches in circumference if measured 2 inches below and above the elbow fold with the arm extended. I hope this helps. By the way, it is a well made pad. Get it.

To me it's very large. I'm on the short side and petite in build so I thought I'd take my chances thinking it might be a "small" fitting large but to me it's for somebody that weighs at least 30-50lbs more than me. The arm area is really big so nice to wear over big jacket and sleeves. I'll either give it away or see if I can get a friend to take it in for me.

mines about 8" and I chose the medium. It's not too tight on me so I would suggest a Medium for you as well. Your best bet is to go to Sports Authority or somewhere local where they have this item and try it on first. That's what I did before making my purchase at Amazon to save a couple of dollars...LOL :-)
