Bought these for my 10U and he LOVES them, says very comfortable and the extra armor make me feel better too. The only issue we have had is how wide the diameter is once on his legs, and how well it fits through his goalie pant legs. It is a tight fit, his pants don't have the leg zipper like his old ones did so these are one heck of a squeeze to get through. But once the pants are on he says they are amazing! First time we did NOT have a fight trying new gear!
