Seriously dude you/we have had 18 months of CLEAR notifications from vendors, clubs, coaches, etc that this was happening. It should not be a big lift for you to get your kid compliant.

#1 Carry yourself and your son to the closest store and try some on, the most any of them cost is $150, which as we all sadly know, is nothing as far as lacrosse costs. Thinking of the cardboard box of lax heads in my basement........

#2 If you just can't get bold enough to spend the (up to) $150, just get on one of the online vendors and get a cheapo compliant pad which are all running $65-70 with free shipping. Epoch, Maverik and Warrior all have a $64.99 offering, just get it done.

Sheeeeeesh.
