The Easton Pro Shin Guards are a traditional shin guard that is unrelated to the Easton Stealth and Mako families. These shin guards are ideal for the player looking for a professional level of protection.
Easton made sure to beef up this shin guard without inhibiting mobility. The shell design is standard and traditional ribs to provide extra support while the vents help to boost breathability. On the outer edge of the shin guard, Easton used a hard circular plastic insert to provide excellent protection to the knee joint. The calf wrap is very protective with a thick layer of medium-density foam on top of a molded plastic insert. The strapping system is comfortable and easy to use; simply secure the upper 1" nylon strap followed by the 4" neoprene calf wrap strap that adds protection as well.
