my 8 yr old son is 4'10", 53 lbs. tall/skinny. what size would he wear? Do you wear these over other sox?

Well I am 5'10" and medium fits me just right so small should work. To answer your second question no you do not; you place the shin pads then pull the provided sleeve over it which secures it nicely in place. The fabric for the sleeve is very thin so it might rip on contact if not covered by a sock. Hope I helped.

He's probably ok woth a size zero for now, but one size up probably wouldn't be too big and he'll grow into it. A little extra room isn't a bad thing for martial arts. I buy the black pants since they arer easier to keep clean, or at least don't turn as dingy over time.

I would recommend sizing up because these run small. My 2 year old is 39 inches tall and 33 pounds, and I got the Small which says it is supposed to fit a 4yo. It fits him perfectly over shorts and a t-shirt. The legs are a little long but rolling them up works fine.

My son is 6 ft 3 or 6 ft 4 and wears about a 36 waist. We got the XL. It fits good.

Hi I bought a XL and it the fit is just right. I am 5'9 and weigh 215 and my waist is about a 36-37. I feel the pants are a little short but if he is 183 and 5'8 they might fit him a little better. I hope this helps.

My compact 8 yr old wears a 000. He wears a size 8 tops but he's got shorter legs. The 000 fits him perfectly. If your 8 yr old has more typical (longer) legs, maybe you'll want to go up a size.

the ones I got and had to return ran very small for their size. I would say go up one or even two sizes... but they also run more toward lean kid... if got any kinda size that's not thin, you might have a problem... going up in size to fit body will prob make legs long....

Hi TW, I think the ML size would still fit him. The sizes are made to be a bit loose to allow for extra layers underneath so I think it would fit fine. The XL/XXL size would be too long for him.

Hi sorry I took so long to get to you I am 5'9" and weigh 186 I purchased the large I like how it fits it's just a little too short for me and a got a little snug after washing ( I throw them in the washer) I'd say get the x-large for him since men I think won't like snug fitting stuff, and if he can he should wear something underneath just because of the sweating

The ProTec Jr fits my strong built 8 year old son (size8) perfectly. My super tall, super thin 9 year old son (size 12slim) wears adult small, but pads are a bit too big so they slip. He often puts on jr size as small as they look because they do not slip. He will be wearing adult small for a few years.

Hi. I agree a small would work, but only if your son likes a very snug fit. A medium would work if he likes a little more room, but still snug. If in doubt have him try on one at your local sporting goods store. Oddly enough, my 17 year old softball player daughter who's 5'7" prefers a Large. It fits snug under her jerseys but allows for more movement so she's not choking.

I think he is borderline, he might be able to squeeze in for a little bit before outgrowing soon, esp. if he is tall. I bought XL pairs for my two kids. My daughter is almost 13 but about 82 pounds and short at about 5 feet. She can wear these pretty perfectly. The younger kid is even shorter but weighs more, like almost 90 pounds, and I don't think he's tried them yet but I think it will be a squeeze and he can only wear them this year. For your son, I agree, adult Men's sizes are way too big, the only other option he might have is a women's size XS if you do not risk the Kids XL.

My son is 8 years old & wears a size 7-8, it fit fine. My son is tall, the pants were a little short. No problem, I just made sure he wore black socks.

Get the adult size- he will grow into it better. Im 170 lbs and they work perfect for me.

I think the regular should be okay. When I got this; my son was 9 but he's slim and they were a little loose but he said they were comfy. Now that he's 10 this year and a little taller and heavier, he says they are just right.

I believe I bought large for my son who has a 32 length pant, but he does not like anything tight and has a "muscular build". If he was thin, then maybe medium would be OK.
