Choose and Buy a Hockey Bib Correctly

How to choose and buy a Hockey Bib? This question is asked by many novice hockey players.

There are three age categories of hockey equipment: children, teenagers and adults (Youth, Junior and Senior, respectively).

Each of them consists of three subcategories (Small, Medium and Large), except for adult (it also includes the Extra Large).

The above table is not the truth in the last instance, as the indicators of each specific manufacturer may differ. The most reliable way is to buy a bib in the Арена Все для Хокею store. We have a good selection of hockey bibs for purchase at the Арена Все для Хокею store in Kyiv.

When buying online, it is better to first familiarize yourself with the size chart. To maximize the chances of choosing the right hockey bib, it is best to measure yourself and choose the most suitable option on the website of our store "Arena Vse for Hockey", and then order a hockey bib from us. We also recommend contacting our manager and arranging your visit to our store, where you can try on the hockey bibs that interest you.

When choosing a hockey bib, you need to pay attention to what parts of the body it covers. It should primarily cover your chest and collarbone, while at the same time, your shoulder blades and shoulder blades should touch slightly. The biceps shield should not overlap the elbow pad. In general, the elements of the equipment should not overlap, but there should not be large gaps between them either. The gap between the bottom of the bra and the panties is also not allowed, it is necessary that the bottom part fits the panties, but does not cover them. You should not worry about the fact that not all of the lower abdomen is covered, because this would reduce your mobility, which would have a negative effect on the game.

A little more about the dimensions

A bra is too big for you if your collarbone is exposed after putting it on. Also, if you pull the outfit to one side, your opposite shoulder is visible through the neck opening. In general, if the hockey bib seems to "hang" on the shoulders, and not on the deltoid muscle, then it is clearly too big for you.

The bib is too small for you, if you feel discomfort in the neck area, the neckline restricts the movements of your neck. Shoulder cups should cover the shoulders. If they are raised, then the size is clearly smaller than necessary. The most obvious indicator of a small size is if the hockey bra leaves most of the chest uncovered.

In some models, it is possible to slightly adjust the fit of the shoulder cups and other elements. However, you shouldn't count on it too much, because it won't work to convert the size "Medium" to "Large" in this way. In addition, not all models are adjustable.

About longevity

In general, a hockey bib wears out for a long time. The service life can sometimes reach ten years, but this is when it comes to models for adults. Children's models have to be changed much more often due to the growth of young players, as well as changes in their build.

Also, the durability of the equipment is greatly affected by the wear of fastening straps, Velcro and other small parts. In this case, it is not necessary to buy a new hockey bib, because it is possible to repair hockey equipment and replace worn elements.
