How to Size a Roller Hockey Girdle

Measure the circumference of your waist just above the hips. Correspond this measurement to the sizing chart and cross-reference your height. You may overlap between girdle sizes, which in this case comes down to personal preference. The girdle should fit snug to ensure the jock does not move out of place.

The waistband should be able to securely fasten without being too tight or too loose. Some girdles come with just an elastic waistband, which in that case should sit securely on your hips without falling down or being too restrictive.

The protection should properly cover each area: hips, kidneys, thighs, and tailbone without inhibiting mobility. Generally, the bottom of the girdle should come down to the lower thigh just above the knee to close the gap in protection between the top of your shin guards.

If the girdle is loose and doesn't sit on the waist, the girdle is too big. If it feels too constrictive or uncomfortably tight, the girdle is too small. Either one will not offer sufficient coverage in protection and may inhibit range of motion.
