Catcher's Gear Fit Guide

Using the Catcher's Gear Fit Guide



Disclaimer: As with any fit guide or sizing chart, there is a margin of error. This guide is designed to provide an accurate assessment of the needed size for each individual piece.


  • Please note, the "fit" from one manufacturer to the next may differ
  • Age is not always indicative of the correct size needed, but more times than not is accurate
  • At times, sizes will overlap in the charts below. This can be due to the different manufacturers sizing. Be sure to size accordingly
  • Generally, catcher's gear designed for Tee Ball, Jr Youth, or Youth play are gender neutral as far as the fit is concerned


How to Determine Catcher's Helmet Size:

  • Place a measuring tape around your head, just above the ears where your hat would naturally rest
  • Take the total circumference (distance around) in inches and reference the chart below
    • This measurement will determine your "Fitted Hat Size" which is how catchers helmets are sized
    • For example, if you measured 22 ¾", then your fitted hat size is 7 ¼"
  • Each individual helmet's size range will be provided in the Item Description
  • Typically, there are two sizes of catchers helmets available:
    • Youth (Small)
      • Most Youth helmets are generally sized between: 6 1/8" - 7" (Individual sizes may vary)
    • Adult (Large)
      • Most Adult helmets are generally sized between: 7" - 7 3/4" (Individual sizes may vary)

Nice helmet

Toys good and looks cool.

Thee best looking helmet in the game. We steam cleaned the pads and aired out the helmet for the past 3.5 years. My daughter loves the fit and the look. Just wish the pads were removable and replaceable. But for $120 bucks it’s one of the more affordable hamlets on the market. Mizuno has my daughter decked out from hard to toe.

Although she didn't like the fit said the chin wasn't right she had been wearing too small of gear for too long. She just doesn't understand. I love it and it has nothing to do with the quality or Mizuno. I am repurposing the gear to another softballer in my nonprofit. HQ4 as always awesome retailer.
