rbk 4k vs 5k shinguards

[KYHockey3 0]

i am in need of new shinguards and i was wondering if anyone has used either of these.

wich ones have the two peice straps on the interior of the shinguard that seem to act like your leg doesnt necessarily completely touch the whole shinguard?

if anyone has either of these can you post a picture of the inside of the shinguard part where your leg actually touches?

also, wich ones are more comfterble? the 4k's look like they dont go as high on your legs.

i wear 11 inch eastons currently btw.

thanks inn advance

I'm confused by your two piece strap on the interior bit.

If you can't help her, why post?

It is the FitLite sling straps. Your leg sits on the strap, so away from the pad. The 4k is a bit more streamlined than the 5k - that pad is very wide.

I was trying to figure out what she meant. Plus she did ask who had 4k/5k shins. Guess who's got 5k's?

Hot enough for you sir?

Then post about the 5k and not the 4k.

Post what you know -

I believe the 6K is where those straps become an option (have them).

They are on the 4k as well. The 6k is the highest level shinpad with the FitLite straps.

so only the 4k and 6k have them?

how do they feel? do they make a difference?

I have the 4k with the fitlite and they feel awsome. They are abit wide but seriously, these SG fit so well you dont notice them on the ice.

i found the 4ks for $30 on hockey.com

i think ill proally order them tonight.

but, is the suspension thing the only big difference in the two?

4k is vented and the thigh flap is more streamlined on it.

At what model is there adequate outside-of-the-knee protection? Not sure what the technical term of that area is.

[mew1838 0]

You cant really go wrong with these rbk shinguards. They are all solid.

[Jake 0]

But a lot of knee pads have a specific flap to protect the outside of the knee joint.

im getting the 4ks tonight on hockey.com

thanks for all the info. i cant wait to try out the fitlight straps. these look well worth 30$.

i have another question though. they dont have much protection above the knee, does that mean i should go up a size?

[KYHockey3 0]

also, tell me how the 5k pants fit?

i currently wear a tps model p204 medium http://www.hockeygiant.com/tps204hpsr.html

what size would i need in 5k pants and what size pant shell would fit on these?

[sc37 0]

I would say like most other pants...S: 30-33 M 32-36 or so. But the might feel a little snugger as they are more like girdle/pants. Idk bout the shell, probably something big since they are normal pants. I'd say...probably a L/XL.

im looking for a more loose fitting pant. what is a good loose fitting pant kind of like the ones i have in the previous post link>?

what do you mean? your pants should cover half your kneecap.

[Jake 0]

I've never seen anyone that wears them that way.

They should come up to the top of the kneecap.

well i am just saying, i have never seen shinguards without the extra inch or two of padding above the shins. i didnt know if it requires me to get a size larger.

i ordered 11s thgouth, because i prefer the shins to be short

[JR Boucicaut 3811]

It has about an inch of thigh flap.

I usually cut mine flush though.

Ok either way above your knee, your pants should take care of it.
