I’ve looked everywhere for nexus 8000 😞 nowhere online or in a store. They had one in a 12” at the LHS but nothing else sadly. It‘s awful 13” sr is all I need. JR is way too narrow and shallow for an adult.

Been looking. 14” is the smallest they come. They must be wide for the pros haha. I want old jofa rbk but as was mentioned I may just get them cut and done properly when find a pair I like. May try to cut a cheap pair and give it a go as well. Thanks everyone!

Thanks I’ll look into it. I’m pretty much stuck at this point.

Ok. I found 14” 1S pads. They were awful. My legs felt so heavy and the pads felt as if my legs weighed an extra 5lb each probably due to the length pushing down. The 2S Pro 13” I tried in the store aren’t deep enough. I’m seriously stuck. 14” Sr The depth is perfect! Length is too long. 13 length is bang on and the depth will not work.

And I’m not even a big person. I’m very confused. It was worse with the x60s

So I should find a nexus pair?

Well, they are huge. The stick out and yes it does affect my skating. The straps don’t go around my leg over or under. So they hover off. I have external straps and tape. They just won’t sit flush. It’s not the best feeling. It should protect around the side a bit too. Not sit on top. It’s because I’m an adult in jr pads is my thinking. Without he liner they fit flush enough. But ifs not comfy at all. I’ve tried that and it’s not much better. I may just switch to nexus if I can find a pair

I really don’t want to buy more shin guards. I’ve tried -Bauer x60 WAY worse than these for sticking out. -Bauer S190 they gave me the wrong lenth -cheap warriors. Ok but super low quality and didn’t feel safe in them. -these CCM super tacks. I have used a heat gun on them a few times but was nervous to bend them too far or get them too hot. I just need them to hug my leg not to stick out on top. And I feel the liner is some of the issue. It’s not very padded and just hovers off the pad instead of being more on the bottom

I’ve been looking. Like the length is good. I removed that additional piece of padding as it says if you wear it over to remove. I’ve pushed the liner up too. Like the liner doesn’t touch the skate. Just the plastic part. But it just makes my legs look massive. I’m 5’4 135 lb woman! Like no one else has shins that look this huge.

I don’t know how to direct upload photos: https://imgur.com/gallery/LpiPOkt im not a big human. What the he’ll do they stick out like that. None of my teammates have this issue as bad. And they are perfect lengthwise.

A 13 is too small to go around my leg. A 14 almost fits as I’ve been told but about “an inch too long for senior” I’m exactly a 13. The issue is depth not length. I tried without the liner and hated it. But it did fit much better against my leg. The shin just isn’t wide enough and deep enough. Length is bang on.

5’4. And it comes to about the middle of the tongue

I’m looking at fixing my tacks liner as well. Where do you find something that work well to pad the area? Like what kind of foam. I wish they made 13” pro stock pads. They don’t seem to exist. I just want a cushiony liner as compared to the awful one in the tacks.

It’s more of a depth thing. The length is fine it has a removable price for those who wear it over the tongue. It is how much it makes my shin stuck out. Then the kneecap doesn’t quite fit right or bend with my knee.

I’ve always liked the Reebok and CCM tacks shins. Not a huge fan of the liner in the super tacks but maybe they improved it on the AS1

I had vapour and they were far too narrow. These fit good without the liner but not comfortable or protective. I have used a heat gun to widen them even more but it doesn’t make much of a difference. The liner seems to cause them to hover off my leg by 2-3 inches more than without anything. The width seems fine. Length seems fine. It’s just the liner causes them to stick out. This is the 2nd pair I’ve had this issue with. I had some super low end ones but they weren’t protective at all. Even they stuck out quite a ways. its like how the Velcro attaches down the centre. It spreads out but the middle just sticks up. Even with loads of tape to press it down no luck.

I know. The jump seems dramatic. It tried the vapour line and they stuck out even more. Supreme did too. Never even tried the jet speed. I do want good protection but it’s how the liner is in then. I don’t want to remove it but it seems to sit under and make it stick so far out. I have been poking around for a simple liner to just put in and try but unfortunately I don’t want to buy it online or just buy a new pair and swap. I find all the 13 hover off my leg while 14 fit ok but are far too long. My calf’s aren’t even that large but they make them look huge. I feel it’s affecting my skating

Over. I can’t do under. Can’t stand the feel. I know they will stick out a bit more but this is crazy I have trunk legs

Hi. I currently wear super tacks 13” shin pads. I have super short legs so sadly I cant wear sr. Pads. So I am running into some issues. The liner in them doesn’t seem to fit flush with my shin. It hovers off. My legs look huge. But the protection is great. ive tried 14” pads they are too long and I’m not going to start cutting them up. What I’ve been wondering is there any way I can put a different liner in it? Say from an old rbk pad? My old pads used to have this more memory foam like material and they never hovered off my leg. I see lots of pro stock pads seem to be very very protective but have a very simple liner. Even something that fits much more flush. I also felt the knee area is lacking on the ST pads as well. Like I can’t even get the straps done up. I checked my local play it again sports and they have nothing that will work. Any other ideas? I mean I have looked on sls but there’s nothing cheap to risk buying. should I look into new shins or find a solution for these pads? I want max protection but I want a flush fit.

I wonder why I can’t stand the new kinds of foam... they are more protective but they never fit my head properly. I haven’t found a modern helmet close to the v08 in terms of comfort. Second place for myself was probably the warrior px+ but it got so hot and was heavy. I’ve tried the 710 and it wasn’t st all comfy. Same with the reeakt and the ims9.0. I must have a weird head or something. I’m just nervous for the day I can’t find one. I all ready can’t get a white one easily.

Sport check in my city had many, it’s where’s I got my replacement black one. Have had a hell of s time getting a new white one. All so expensive online so I went with a 4K (which isn’t nearly as comfy). I prefer the vn foam and the v08 is by far the most comfortable helmet I’ve ever worn. It fits me so perfectly and I never get pressure headaches like I do in my 4K

Yup. I had the 8.0.8. Maybe got 15 games out of it and guess where it broke? That’s why I think this tech just died. The durability wasn’t there at all. That’s why I’m concerned about the ADV. the blade I feel is even more breakable.

Hi. I’m looking st ordering a Reebok 4K online and I don’t believe they come with the plastic ear guards. I like them as I’ve taken a slap shot off the side of the head and if it wasn’t for that guard I wouldn’t want to know the injury. I have 3 CCM v08 right now and one set or guards (one helmet is pro stock) and I change them around. But im not sure if the 4K will fit with the guards. Even if it’s not exact it’s fine. Thanks!

Funny story: I actually got super lucky. In minor I wore 11k pads and I think 7k..?? before that. Of course they don’t make them now. Went to my LHS and they had a pair of 11k on clearance. 2011 release and they had them in my size. These fit perfect to my pants and cover what I want and protect. Thanks everyone for their help! I got very lucky.
