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 went with the XL at 6'2" and 285 lbs. and it fits great. Hope that helps you decide.

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.

My arm is pretty decent sized I honestly would look for a smaller one.... That's my opinion this was almost too big for me and I'm pretty good size myself

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.

I'm 5'9 and 185 fairly muscular build and wear xl but I prefer it not so tight I can't breath. I'd prob recommend a large but it comes down to personal preference. Oh one other note I usually wear large in shirts in general and it's only with this particular under armour material that get xl but both these super hero ones and I have some long sleeve reg ones it is the same story.

Get the large. It will be fine. XL will be too big I think. I was a 38 and wore the large.

Michael...I'd err on the larger size. You obviously want this form fitting, but too tight is no good. I'm 6'1" and 195 (ok...200, but it's early) and I bought the XL, which I did based on other's reviews. The usual challenge with up-sizing is pant and sleeve length, which you don't need to worry about with this model. I've only worn the suit a couple of times since I bought it in September of last year, but I've been pleased with it.

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!

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 :-)

I bought a medium; I am an adult female with largish hands for a woman about 3" or so wide; I dont know if that helps you for the large but I would imagine that size large is for men with average to large hands and size med would fit a man with smallish hands

I have always worn LG or XL (6'6" 260 LBs). If you go to www.tommiecopper.com they show how to measure. http://www.tommiecopper.com/product/mens-elbow-compression-sleeveIt looks to me that you measure the circumference of your bicep. The top portion of this sleeve rests on the bicep. The large I have fits securely and doesn't slide. I hope this was helpful??!!

I would get the medium size if I were you. The arm length is longer than I expected and had to get it tailored to my arm length. The jacket itself is heavy duty though. I really like it!

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.

Hi Harv,My husband is 5'8" tall and weighs 165 pounds - his hands are a good size but not huge. I have fairly large hands for a woman, long but average in girth, and his gloves fit me easily. I bought him a MEDIUM - I think we both wear an 8 in a regular glove. The large would have been way too large for both of us. I hope this helps - of course, with Amazon, exchanges are easy. Think I'm going to buy another pair while I'm thinking about this! Good luck!

When I first found them available in the stores, I tried them on and the medium was best. My husband uses the large. It varies depending on your hand size. Guess I'm average cause the medium fits well.
