Shin
pads are worn on the front of the legs from the ankle to the top of the
knee and are made of a hard material that will stop a slap shot. Most
good shin pads have a heavy felt like material that wraps around the
back of the legs and have the following features:
- Sleeved guard with insert
- A nylon-covered perforated foam pad designed to facilitate
rolling over the guard for non-contact drills
- Unique sleeve allows players to easily slide the pad in and out
for washing or to make room for the optional custom-molded
fiberglass insert for game situations.
