How to measure
- Bend your arm to 90 degrees.
- Measure from the back of your elbow to your wrist crease.
- Compare your measurement with the Forearm length column below. Use height and weight as additional references.
Choose the correct age category. A Medium in Junior, Intermediate and Senior has different measurement ranges. Check the category as well as the size letter.

Check the fit
- Elbow position: Your elbow should sit securely in the centre of the elbow cup.
- Straps: Fasten the straps so the pad stays in place without uncomfortable pressure.
- Movement: Bend and straighten your arm. Check that the pad does not slide or pinch.
- Other equipment: Try the pads with your gloves and shoulder pads. Check for comfortable coverage between each piece without catching or restricting movement.
Size ranges can overlap. Use the chart as a starting point and check the fit before playing. If you are unsure which size to choose, ask Tydan before ordering.
