Previous Feedback
Comments: The skatefenders work great. Every year I get nailed with a slap shot to the ankle and I feel it for months. I have purposley put my foot out to stop shots now and hardly feel it. The only flaw I have found in these is the velcro straps used to attach these to the skates. They use heat fusion to attach the hook and loop sections of the velcro, and this is brittle. I've had to replace the straps only half way through the first season. I just got sew on velcro strips and sewed the hook and loop sections. This makes for a less brittle connection point that seems to be holding up better. Not a show stopper, but finding 1" sew on velcro was a pain.

Comments: Tried these for the first time last night. I couldn't even tell they were on. Didn't notice any feeling of added weight or feeling of movement. I stopped a pretty hard shot with my foot and never even felt it. Other than the price for plastic, a good product.
