Ok, Play it Again Sports here in my town has a pair of Hitman 4.5 or 5 I dont know the diff for $30. I tried them on and the salesperson said they looked too small. The tag said Large. I wear a size 42-44 sport coat. All of my shirts are XL. I'm 5'9" 210. Do they even make shoulder pads in XL?

No Help? I'd like to go back and get them if they're the right size.

You're almost exactly my build,but an inch taller.
Most company's XL sized shoulder pads should fit our basic build.
Just evaluate it based on fit. If you shrug your shoulders,do the pads bother your neck? Are they flexible enough to allow good upper body movement? Can they by tightened enough at the arms and ribs that they don't shift on your body? Do they appear to give good coverage to your shoulders and clavicle?

I actually don't have a pair of shoulder pads right now,as my old HS Brine pair are on loan to a kid on our HS team (he swims in them).
They're just a bit tight in the neck when I shrug now,so I haven't worn them much lately anyway. :concerned

As for the exact brand,type...meh-whatever. It's not the arrow,it's the Iroquois.
