I have for my daughter Gr. M ordered because I had already read several times that the protectors be small and because we they wanted more for outside roller skating on the things drag, I followed the recommendation and have M selected from 8 years although it is only 5 (S from 3 years). This was definitely a good decision. Because even though my child is slim, you have the stuff, especially in winter / fall / spring but mostly to further layers. Thanks Velcro customizable and therefore normally fixed to the body for maximum protection. The accompanying mesh pocket is rather superfluous, as it is only with difficulty everything again fits well and anyway gladly stuck to the Velcro strips on the material already before you have everything properly stowed.
