Mission Thorax shirt sizing

[Mike92 0]

I'm thinking of getting one of these but I'm not sure what size to get since they only have s/m and l/xl sizes. I'm 6'1 180, usually wear m or l shirts. Anyone have any experience with these?

I'm roughly your size and have the Mission Thorax Advantage padded shirt (the white, green, and black model from a few years ago with the removeable shoulder caps) and have the L/XL. Good fit and I couldn't go any smaller.

Cheers

I don't want to be ignorant, but what is the point of a padded shirt for roller hockey?

Same thing as a girdle... Pucks hurt so a padded shirt offers a little protection with out having to wear bulky shoulder pads

I always assumed girdles were more for falls than taking pucks. I don't think I've ever taken a puck in the shoulder, but watch, now that I say that, I'll take a nice slap shot next time I play. :(
