Overview
The Nash Custom Molded Lexan™ Skate Guard Wraps are fully heat moldable to provide customized protection around your skates. This allows you to block shots without fear and also protects without adding a lot of extra weight to your skates.
Nash uses a 1/8" thick shaped sheet Lexan™ polycarbonate which molds completely to the shape of the skate for ultimate comfort and protection. Its design allows it to cover both sides of the boot and across the laces for shot blocking protection no matter which way your skate is turned. They also included adhesive rubber shims that can be attached anywhere on the skate guard to help absorb the shock of blocked shots.
Note: Product does not include blade covers shown in images.

Comments: I really like the idea of the form fitting protection. I've played a half dozen games and feel very comfortable with them on. Of course, I haven't been hit in the foot yet...Not as easy to form as the video shows. 2 things that help. If you don't get it right the first time, bake it again despite what the direction says. I don't think the lexan is going to lose any strength, but I haven't tested that yet. The second thing I found, hold your skate toes up. This prevents the top from getting too flat and it also helps get the "wings" to wrap around ankle and tappers the heel. If your not a do it yourselfer, you might want the preformed ones, but for the custom fit that you can put on and forget these are a good choice.
