Previous Feedback
Comments: I bought all Bauer Supreme One.4 pads. (Shoulder, Elbow, Shin. I think that's all of them.) These are great pads for the money. You'll want to go with a higher level if you are playing contact but for the college class and adult league I play in they are perfect. Also like the removable liner in the entry model.

Comments: These shin guards are pretty good. I haven't played hockey in 15 years and just started up again. I'm 31 now and haven't played since about 16 years old. Naturally, everything is different from what I remember it. Skating is important, at least to me, and I wanted to buy shin guards, as well as other gear, that would not interfere with my skating. These shin guards are fairly anatomically correct; however, at my LHS, the Bauer one.6 (with the green inserts) had a much more ergonomic feeling to them. That being said I chose these less expensive shin guards. So far I have been quite pleased. The straps work fairly well, at least so far. I only have 3 game uses in them but so far the straps tend to stay put. Overall, I would recommend these if you are on an extreme budget; however, I would say that the one.6 is a noticeable step up for not that much more.
