FAQs

How do I determine the correct size?

Measure the length of your shin from the ankle bone to just below the knee and compare it against the product dimensions to ensure adequate coverage.

Are these pads machine washable?

No, machine washing can damage the reinforced frame and compromise the integrity of the foam backing. Please hand wash only.

Can I use these without the removable back plate?

Yes, the back plate is optional. You can remove it to reduce weight if you prefer a lighter, more minimalist feel.

How often should I clean my shin pads?

It is best practice to wipe them down after every use and perform a thorough hand wash once a week to maintain hygiene.

Do these pads come in different colors?

This specific model is the Black variant, which provides a classic, low-profile look on the pitch.

What should I do if the plastic shell cracks?

If the outer shell sustains a structural crack, the impact-absorbing integrity is compromised, and the pads should be replaced immediately.

Troubleshooting

Straps losing grip strength

Remove lint and debris from the touch-fastening fabric using a stiff brush to restore its holding capacity.

Pad sliding during play

Ensure the straps are tightened over the top of your shin guard liner or base layer, or use additional shin guard tape for added security.

Back plate feels loose

Verify that all locking tabs on the back plate are fully engaged with the frame and check for any debris caught in the attachment channels.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ergonomic fit that stays secure during high-intensity play
  • Effective force absorption for increased safety
  • Breathable design prevents moisture build-up
  • Customizable fit via adjustable straps and removable plate

Cons

  • Removable plate components may require periodic checks
  • Sizing must be precise to avoid chafing
  • May feel bulkier than minimalist soft-shell alternatives

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your shin pads, position the anatomically shaped frame over your shin bone and secure the touch-fastening straps, starting from the center to ensure even pressure. If utilizing the removable back plate, ensure it is locked firmly into the designated slots before sliding the pad into your hockey socks. For care, it is recommended to hand wash the pads using mild soap and warm water after every session to prevent odor buildup. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as high heat can warp the plastic shell and degrade the adhesive on the straps. Allow the pads to air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
