Product Information

Full details

The Kookaburra Knee Guard is an essential piece of protective equipment designed for field hockey players who specialize in short corner defense or participate in high-intensity training drills. It offers the key benefit of robust impact resistance through a durable PVC shell and comfortable inner cushioning, protecting both the knee and upper shin from ball and stick strikes. While it provides excellent coverage and ease of use, users should note that its structured, shell-based design prioritizes maximum protection over low-profile concealment under slim-fit kit.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I wear these under my socks?

Yes, but they are bulky due to the PVC shell, so they are typically worn over the top of socks or directly against the skin depending on your kit preferences.

Are these suitable for youth players?

The fit is designed for high-intensity play, so ensure the size corresponds to the player's knee dimensions to prevent chafing.

Does this guard protect the entire shin?

No, this is a knee and upper-shin guard. It should be used in conjunction with full-length shin guards for comprehensive protection.

How do I know if the fit is correct?

The guard should feel secure without pinching and should cover the patella fully when in a standing or kneeling position.

Can I machine wash the guards?

No, machine washing can damage the structural integrity of the PVC shell and the adhesive holding the foam lining.

Troubleshooting

Guard slips during active play

Ensure the straps are fastened tightly and consider wearing a compression sleeve underneath to increase friction against the skin.

Foam lining feels damp or develops an odor

Remove the guards from your equipment bag immediately after play and allow them to air dry completely in an open space.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior impact protection for short corner defense
  • Ergonomic fit that targets the knee and upper shin
  • Easy to put on and remove quickly
  • Durable outer shell resists heavy wear and tear

Cons

  • More bulky than standard slim-fit shin guards
  • May require adjustment to avoid slipping during intense lateral movement
  • Not intended for full-shin protection

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best fit, position the guard so the cup centers directly over your kneecap, with the lower extension covering the top of your shin guard. Ensure the straps are pulled tight enough to prevent rotation but loose enough to maintain circulation. After use, wipe the PVC shell with a damp cloth to remove turf residue or mud. The foam lining should be air-dried in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources, which can degrade the foam's shock-absorbing properties. Do not submerge the guards in water or use harsh chemical cleaners, as these may damage the composite materials.
