The Reebok 9K hockey shin guards are are a step down from the 11k, but still provide solid comfort and protection for the price. The 9k liner doesn't feature the advanced ZigTech fibers like the 11k, but it's just as comfortable. The famous JDP® knee cap and JOFA® shin shell keeps Reebok designed shin guards the perferred choice of NHL players. The 9k foams and plastics aren't as beefy as on the 11k, but overall provide great protection in a lightweight design.

The Liner on the 9k is made of very comfortable nylon. The liner is completely removable for drying and washing. The 9K shin pad uses the famous JDP® knee cap and JOFA® shin shell.  This shell designs result in excellent impact dispersion resulting in stronger more protection pads.  The Reebok shin shell has a less tapered design moving down into the ankle area than some of the other manufacturers.  This results in a slightly wider fit in the lower leg portion. 

Reebok 9k shin guard has a two strap system to secure the pad.  The upper strap is made of a soft neoprene material running just below the knee. The second strap wraps around the calf securing the lower portion of the pad.  This strap is also made of a neoprene material and is a three-point design.  Both straps are not removable.
