Mission M-2 shins

Recommended Posts

Alright guys it's time for a new pair of shin guards. I have Mission M-2's 13 inch. HockeyGiant just ran out of them. What in the fuel line will be compareable. I've tryed on pretty much all of the other brand shins and hate them and I wont be able to try these on. So I'll be buying from HG online because of the sizing policy they have. Pretty much depending on you guy for this one.

Idk which Fuel line is the same...but since you seem to be ordering, they do have M-2 shins available on Amazon.com in 13.

65s?

I might be a little biased.....but go with the Fuel 800's (similar to the Fuel 85's). The 75's are more rec-league level with less protection in the calf. Protection is better in the Fuel also... The M-series weren't as deep in the shin or knee-cap as the Fuel series either.

I was thinking that but coming from the M series it's a big jump in protection, the calf and so on. I'll probably get the 85's but i'm kinda worried of the sizing and just need someone to confirm theyve tried both on whatever (M and Fuels) and that they were near the same size/fit. I understand what you're saying though.

By the way what's with pricing. I love pretty much all of the mission equip ive had but prices not just Mission everything is going up hugely.

J do you work for Mission or that's just your title?

Sizing is the same, just more protection and less useless foam. Weight is comparable also.

I'd rather you get your feedback from someone else because I worked on these so i'm biased. I'm a product designer/developer for Mission.

As for retail pricing, there are many levels a product goes through before hitting market, so I can't really say why/if there is a jump. At my end, I know the price of products with petroleum based parts has gone up (ex. shin guards), but I can't say how that translates at the retail end (someone in sales could answer that better).
