Senior shin guards

[greatone 0]

Anyone have any recommendations on the lightest, most comfortable, shinguard?? I do not like BIG and BULKY shinguards and wear either a 13" or 14". I know I should be in at least a 15". I'm 5' 10". Thanks

Get yourself some Mission Matrix. The Red and Black ones. HAve had them for the last 3-4 years and still holding up strong.

Atleast a 15"?

I'am 5"11 and wear a 14". It has to do more with the length of your legs rather then how long the shin guard is. You could have a long body but short legs/long legs short body

Check out the nike v-series line. you can probably find some for a good price.

though i don't use them anymore, i have to say that those are the favorite i've ever owned as well.

I just recently purchased the Easton Stealth S5's. They are narrow and light. Not too bulky and very protective. I was torn between these and the Nike V-11's at the store, but I figured that the Stealths were a superior product. I used to wear Jofa 6500's, but I don't like the new RBK shins. They seem too wide for the average shin.

Oh, and regarding your size, I would say that you should probably be wearing a 15", unless you wear your skate tongues out in which case you may need to stick with 14". Take your skates to the store with a pair of socks and try some shins on. That is what I did. I'm 5'10" as well and wear a 15" shin over my tongue.

Hmm... im 5"11 and wear 16" shinguards. I guess i have long legs then..

[Jason 65]

Maybe, I'm not sure. I know that if I wore 16's they would press into the top of my foot when I bent my knee. If I was to wear my shin guards behind my tongue, I would need to wear 14" pads.

Try RBK 4k with Fitlight technology. I am 5'10.5" and I wear a 15" over my skates. They are light, fit very well, protect well ( I have taken some hard slapshots square off the shin), and do keep your shins a tad cooler.

I considered those, but they are too wide for me.

i second that.. the fitlight really makes the difference. i think that is the perfect rollerhockey shin pads and i've had no problems on ice either. on top of that you have the jofa name behind it

Go with the Easton Stealth 5. It's the narrowest pad on the market.
