Previous Feedback
Comments: As others have said, awesome pads for the price. The only reason to upgrade from these is if you are really getting serious about your game. If you just play around for fun or on a budget, these are perfect. Good price, good comfort level, good protection, and stay on well if you use tape. I don't see any reason for me to upgrade or buy any other pads unless these break.

Comments: I like these pads, though my legs aren't real bulky, I have to use tape on these since there's only one strap. Good protection, from the behind too!
From: Ed, PA

Comments: I love these shin pads. They are awesome. I play once a week, and these are perfect for a house league. I have gotten hit, slashed and banged into the wall and a few players, and these pads have held up great. The price is amazing as well. They do not block my movement when I skate, so that is something nice to have since my old ones did do that. Overall, amazing amazing pads!! LOVE THEM!!

Comments: These pads are amazing. I have gotten hit, slashed, and banged into the boards so many times, and the pads have held up great. They do however show marks of hits, but it does not effect the performance of these beauties. They also do not restrict my performance in anyway by slipping, or getting bulky. I love these!!!

Comments: Great protection and use for the standard level of any type of player . Great affordable piece of equipment to greatly assist at protecting the knees and shins when it comes to physical contact as well.
