Overview
The Reebok 18K KFS Hockey Shin Guards are ideal for intermediate to advanced level play due to the JDP knee caps (Joint Discharge Principal), which disperses high impact away from the fragile knee joints to the surrounding muscles. The shin cap is specifically constructed to withstand big time shots and is structurally engineered with bridge support, which heightens the strength and provides sound knee comfort-ability.
Also, comprised within the 18K KFS shin guard is Reebok's (Kinetic Fit System), which segments the protection in key body areas to combine the best mobility and protection. The calf contains a high-density segmented foam and provides a highly protective anatomical wrap. The thigh has a removable molded plastic insert shot guard, and the knee features a plastic insert for extended protection against game time impacts! Additionally, these shin guards are equipped with an adequately place removable full-segmented liner including a lower shelf design for optimal fit over skates. This further reduces drying time and optimize comfortable customization. Lastly, the quick "Y" strap connection locks the straps securely and comfortably.

Previous Feedback
Comments: I have never ever worn a more comfortable shin guard. The removable inner lining feels like silk against your legs. With the JDP knee cap and overall
construction of the outer shell I feel completely protected when taking big time shots of the shins. I'm sure the 20K's are even nicer but at this price point for the 18K, you can't go wrong and you will feel completely confident that your knees and shins are fully protected.
