Overview
The Warrior Koncept hockey shin guard offers solid protection in a very lightweight design. This shin pad has some great protection for how light it is. Although it doesn't have a couple top end features like the Projekt, the Koncept can hold its own. The Koncept shin guard has the Hyperlock Knee system and the trampoline effect liner to make devastating knee blows a thing of the past.
The Koncept has also used a thin trampoline-effect liner to offer better protection, but does not stick out far from the leg. Since you leg sits deep in the pad it does not feel like it has much 'swing weight' when your skating. On top of the trampoline effect liner Warrior has included their V-Tek micro-mesh moisture-wicking liner which keeps the leg cool and dry. Warrior used a two-piece strap system to secure the leg. The top strap under the knee is an elastic strap, and the wide calf strap is made of comfortable neoprene.

Comments: I'm new to ice hockey so I'm no expert. These shin guards are amazing! They are soo comfortable and you barely feel them. They are super light and you barely feel impacts. I had tried others and I always found the straps to be uncomfortable but these are perfect. There are 2 main straps one is big, feels really secure, and gives great calf protection
