4 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
As generally understood, system 10 includes lower base pad 12 and upper base pad 14. As common with hockey pads, the bottom portion of lower base pad 12 extend outward from the user. The upper portion of lower base pad 12 is constructed and arranged to attach sizing pad or insert 16 thereto. In one embodiment, as demonstrated in figure 11 sizing insert 16 is attached to lower base pad 12 and upper base pad 14 utilizing a zipper attachment 26. It is contemplated that each sizing pad 16 is constructed arranged providing attachment either to a base pad or two additional sizing inserts. A particular advantage in the present invention is demonstrated in figures 4, 6, and 7.
Figure 7 shows a pads system utilizing a single sizing insert 16. Figure 4 shows a pad system utilizing two sizing pads 16.
Figure 6 shows a patent system utilizing three sizing pads 16.
This is demonstrative of one advantage of the present invention.
As players grow the pad system of the present invention is constructed and arranged for size adjustments to provide proper safety and protection for the user.

Figure 6 shows a patent system utilizing three sizing pads 16.
This is demonstrative of one advantage of the present invention.
As players grow the pad system of the present invention is constructed and arranged for size adjustments to provide proper safety and protection for the user.
5 The system utilize hook and loop fasteners 30 as are commonly used on hockey pads to secure the system about the leg of a user.
Also, as demonstrated in the figures, each of lower pad 12 upper pad 14 and sizing pack 16 include our protection padding 22.
Demonstrative of an environment of use a user will be measured for pad fitting utilizing system 10 of the present invention.
Based on this measurement, one or more of sizing pad 16 will be secured to the system of the present invention. Although the figures provide for examples demonstrating one, two, and three sizing pad 16 embodiments, this system is not limited to any particular number.
The following examples are demonstrative and non-limiting in describing the present invention.
Example #1:
A hockey team or any group of people requires a goalie to have pads. If they rotate which person is playing goalie and they are different heights/sizes they are able to have 1 base pad set and add inserts for taller people to use pads with a greater height.
Also, as demonstrated in the figures, each of lower pad 12 upper pad 14 and sizing pack 16 include our protection padding 22.
Demonstrative of an environment of use a user will be measured for pad fitting utilizing system 10 of the present invention.
Based on this measurement, one or more of sizing pad 16 will be secured to the system of the present invention. Although the figures provide for examples demonstrating one, two, and three sizing pad 16 embodiments, this system is not limited to any particular number.

Example #1:
A hockey team or any group of people requires a goalie to have pads. If they rotate which person is playing goalie and they are different heights/sizes they are able to have 1 base pad set and add inserts for taller people to use pads with a greater height.
6 Example #2:
A user buys a base set of adjustable goalie pads and as they grow, they add inserts or expand the pad to fit the user perfectly.
Traditionally goalie pads come in specific heights, an example is 24". Our invention will allow the user or users to adjust the height to achieve their desired height by adding inserts or the use of expanders, example:
initial pad is 24" height with ability to adjust to 26", 28"
etc.
The present invention provides a system that is:
1. Adjustable 2. Height Extension variable; and 3. Provides Multiple Sizes in One Set.
There is no such product available to address these needs.
Thus, the present invention provides for fulfilling a significantly unmet need.
While the invention has been described in its preferred form or embodiment with some degree of particularity, it is understood
