Because every athlete has a unique build, we cannot guarantee a perfect fit based on height or age alone. Pro Tip: If you are of a larger or heavier build for your height/age, we strongly recommend purchasing one size up. Image Accuracy: Please note that actual product colours and finishes may vary slightly from the images on your screen due to monitor calibrations and studio lighting. Care & Maintenance Washing: Machine wash in COLD WATER using a mild, bleach-free detergent. To protect the Velcro straps and elastic, place the protectors in a delicate mesh laundry bag. Do not use chlorine bleach or fabric softeners. Drying: ALWAYS AIR DRY. Lay flat or hang in a well-ventilated area until completely dry. DO NOT use a machine dryer or place in direct sunlight, as high heat will damage the foam padding and degrade the elastic.
