Help needed with the shoulder pads sizing!

[Withim1993 0]

Hi there!

Hope you can help me with the correct shoulder pad sizing. I can have these Bauer Supreme One.8 shoulder pads at a really sweet price. They are sized Large (5). I am 6'1", 170-180 lbs, chest size is 39 1/2". So technically i fit somewhere in between sizes Medium and Large, according to Bauer shoulder pad sizing guide.

I don't have any local hockey stores nearby so all i can try on is these Large One.8's.

Lengthwise, they meet my size Large girdle just right at the spine area, and cover my ribs at the front nicely. As for width, i stretch velcro straps to their maximum position to sit firmly on my chest. One thing i don't quite get is if the shoulder caps are sitting right?

I will be playing in contact league, but the level of play is average.

If there are other guys with similar body proportions, please feel free to post which model and size shoulder pads you wear.

I took 2 pictures of myself with and without shoulder pads on if it helps.

Your shoulder should comfortably fit in the middle of the cap. Judging solely off the image above, it appears to meet that requirement.

That looks like a pretty good fit to me.
