i actually think you need to get one that fits right there and then. when you get bigger, buy another one that's the right size then. its like parents buying a cricket bat for a kid that's 1 size too big and then wondering why the kids not scoring runs (im a coach so have real world experience here!). if you have a slide and the jacket's too big, it wont function as intended.) no substitute for going into a shop and trying a bunch of them and buying the best you can afford regardless of make etc.
