Frequently Asked Questions

What is NoomReviews.com?

NoomReviews.com helps parents answer two questions: which item to buy for their child, and what size to get. We cover youth sports and outdoor equipment — bats, golf clubs, bikes, skis, snowboards, helmets, gloves — and kids apparel and footwear. Size charts are the core of the site; buying guides and comparisons support them.

How do you build your size charts?

Each chart is compiled from the official sizing published by the major brands in that category, cross-checked against the governing body rule where one exists — Little League and USA Baseball for bats, the USGA and US Kids Golf for clubs, ASTM F1447 for bike helmets, NOCSAE for football helmets, US Coast Guard ratings for life jackets. Where brands disagree, we publish the range and say so. Every chart carries the date it was last verified. The full method is on our About page.

Do you test products yourself?

No, and we don’t claim to. We are not a testing lab — we do not run performance or destructive testing on equipment. Our work is sourcing, cross-checking and explaining published specifications and standards so you don’t have to open twelve brand pages yourself. Anywhere you see a size or a spec on this site, it came from a documented source, not from us guessing.

Is a size chart enough, or should I get fitted in person?

For clothing, a chart plus a tape measure is usually enough. For anything safety-rated — helmets, protective padding, life jackets — a chart gets you close, but an in-person fit check is what gets you right. Please treat those charts as a starting point, not a final answer.

My child is between sizes. Up or down?

Size up on clothing and outerwear; they grow into it. Do not size up on equipment. A bat that’s too long can’t be swung properly, and a helmet that’s too big doesn’t protect. For gear, fit the child you have today.

Does NoomReviews sell products?

No. We don’t sell anything directly. Some articles contain affiliate links to retailers, including the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. If you buy through one we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Commissions never affect what a chart says — a size is a size.

I think one of your numbers is wrong. Can I tell you?

Please do — corrections are the fastest way this site gets better. Email contact@noomreviews.com with the chart and the number you’re questioning, and where your figure comes from if you have a source. Charts that get corrected are re-dated so readers can see they’ve been checked.

Can I suggest a chart or a product?

Yes. Requests decide the order we build new charts in. Email contact@noomreviews.com.

Do you accept sponsorships?

We may work with brands occasionally. Any sponsored content is clearly labelled as such, and no brand gets to change a measurement.

How do I contact you?

Email contact@noomreviews.com. We typically respond within 24–48 business hours.
