Help w/ Practice Jersey Sizing

[bryceepoo 0]

I can't find one of these jersey's to try on and I'm just starting out in hockey (at the ripe age of 32). Can any make a recommendation of which jersey size I should start with? Would like to order a couple online.

I am 6'0" tall, 190 lbs. Pretty broad shoulders. I wear a size large t-shirt.

I purchased some used Nike Bauer XXV shoulders (also size large), but I don't have anything to reference whether those are bulky or not.

Do I just stick with large for jersey sizing? Looking at CCM & Reebok jerseys, but open to others as well.

Thanks in advance!

XL or XXL. Better too big than too small. Large will be tight in most brands.

It depends on the jersey. I'm your size and wear XXL in some down to L in others.

With your shoulder and elbow pads on, use a tailor's tape measure and use either chart:

But I'd assume XXL.

I'm 5'7 and prefer to wear L in most sizes, I hate the feeling of a jersey being tight

Just beware that pretty much every jersey out there is sized differently even from team to team of the same style.

It's something you might need to try on first until you know what works for you.

AK jersey's run real big.

Thanks for the replies, everyone. I was able to try on a CCM XL jersey at a local shop without my gear and stuff. I felt like I was drowning in it, but I'll trust you all and order an XL in the model I want and start with that.

I'm about 6' 2" & the same weight as you & I also wear the Nike Bauer XXV shoulder pads & L or XL shirts, I have 2 CCM practice jerserys in L & I hated how tight & short they were. I replaced them with XL Kamazu practice jerseys that ran very similar in size according to the charts I found on various online retailers & I liked the fit much better. I've got an XL Easton BioDry practice jersey as well & it is bigger than the Kamazu, but I like my jerseys loose so its actually my team jersey now since its the right color. I've got 2 AK XL jerseys & they are in between the Easton & the Kamazu ones, in my opinion.

I hope the helps, more than it confuses.

im 5'8" with some low profile fit05 shoulder pads, and i wear a pearsox XL practice jersey that fits well. I assumed XL when my saturday beer league team ordered jerseys, and the thing is a bit too tight, but not annoyingly so. i wouldnt go any smaller than an XL if i were you

I'm about 5' 8" as well...150 lbs or so, and I prefer XL. As everyone else said though, it comes down to brand and personal preference.
