[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks so much, all--this is super-helpful. Does anyone have a sense of how frequently this stuff needs to be replaced? Like for an elementary kid (~ size 12-14) how many times are they likely to outgrow everything before they hit full adult sizing?[/quote] Putting aside outgrowth (for mine, it was every couple years from K through 8th and counting). Sticks get replaced roughly every two years (but that means new stick every year with the backup and rotating). Helmets longer, we're replacing one for spring that is 3+ years old. [/quote] This. Especially when in middle and high school. Harder shots and even weather and wear start to break down the mesh. Sticks can break or crack, often where the head is screwed on. As noted, they can be restrung or fixed but it is an art. Usually get a new one each year or so at that level and keep previous years as a backup. Younger kids may be able to get longer use. [/quote]
