Previous Feedback
Comments: Offers good protection, and are light weight (compared to my old ccm guards from the '90s). I am very hapy with the 3-point strap system (1 strap has 2 pieces of elastic that go above and below the calf across the back) that makes it feel like they arent going to twist or shift if you spend a lot of time flopping around the ice. Shin sweat pad is removable, but the knee isnt- Just FYI if you want that cleaned you'll have to dunk the whole guard in.
