Full details
The Kookaburra Convert Hockey Shin Pads are designed for field hockey players seeking a balance between lightweight agility and essential impact protection.

FAQs
What size are these shin pads?
These pads measure 39cm in height, 13cm in width, and 12cm in length.
Are these pads machine washable?
No, you should clean them by wiping the exterior with a damp cloth and air-drying them.
Do these pads come with straps?
These pads are designed to be worn under socks or sleeves; they do not feature integrated hook-and-loop straps.
Can these be used for indoor hockey?
Yes, their lightweight profile makes them suitable for the faster pace of indoor hockey.
How often should I replace my shin pads?
Replace them if the outer shell cracks or if the foam padding becomes compressed and no longer provides adequate cushion.
Troubleshooting
Shin pads sliding down during play
Ensure you are using a high-quality shin guard sleeve or an over-sock to provide adequate compression to hold the pads in place.
Foam lining feels damp after use
Remove the pads immediately after your game and store them in an open, airy environment; avoid leaving them inside a closed gym bag.
Hard shell shows surface scratches
Surface scratches from stick contact are normal; only replace if the shell is cracked or severely dented.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance, place the shin pads directly against the leg, securing them with your preferred hockey socks or an additional elasticated shin guard sleeve to maintain tension. These pads are compatible with most standard sports socks. To maintain the integrity of the foam lining, do not machine wash or submerge the pads in water. Instead, wipe the hard outer shell with a damp cloth after each use. Store the pads in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight to prevent the foam from drying out or developing odors. Regularly inspect the outer shell for deep cracks or structural damage that may indicate a need for replacement after significant impacts.
