New Shin Pads

[tburk32 0]

If i had a choice between Jofa 9090 shin pads and RBK 5k shin pads which would be a better choice? i know that the 9090's are top of the line from last year but then again companys usually put "new"/ top of the line technology into their middle of the road products for the next year. I know there are similar topics on this but i want specific answers cause im picky,( ill be playing high school and 18U A this year so i need pretty good protection as a defensemen) Also my hespler shin pads are 16" they are a LITTLE short (they touch the top of the boot when i wear them over the tounge) now with my ccms and i am getting s400 (lower cut skate) so should i get 17" in the RBK/Jofa pads???? any help would be greatly appreciated

I'd get the RBK because they have 3 straps and not just the one that comes on the older Jofa models. Get the skates and then see what size shin fits best, that way there is no guessing.

When you choose your pads, always have your skates on. That's the best way to find the right size.

the 5ks are great shinguards ,but say you get 16" they are about a cm longer than other brands
