This is just what my son needs. He weighs about 65 pounds at age 9. He's a little shorter than most kids his age. We needed those velcro straps on the front and back of his legs to hold his hockey socks. The quality seems to be very good, they are light and made of mesh material, which is convincing. They don't hold sweat or weigh you down. Much easier than the old suspenders! I would recommend them to anyone who plays hockey or has kids who play hockey.
