Narrowest shinguards?

[Zjack38 46]

I was washing my hockey equipment the other day, and I pulled out my shinguards and the ones stitching came off, and the other had a crack in it, so needless to say I need to buy new shinguards before my games this weekend. The problem : I'm 15 with pretty skinny legs, and almost every shinpad I see now a days is so wide, and I hate, hate wide shin pads, so would you guys say the narrowest shinpads are?

Thanks.

The Easton Stealth series and the Bauer Vapor would be the two that come to mind for me.

The CCM CL line is pretty narrow.

easton stealths seem the narrowest to me in my mild exposure to them.

[IPv6Freely 2097]

Yea Easton Stealth by far. I actually think the Bauer Supreme is even narrower than the Vapors.

Vapors are a tapered fit, but they are not narrow.

I second (or third or whatever count we're on now) the Stealth line. It's a good shin guards, and you can get them pretty inexpensive for a high level unit.

I ended up getting warrior dynasty ax2 shinguards, the shop I went to didn't have much, and warriors intermediate shinguards are pretty narrow, and we're the narrowest in my size. Thanks for the help.

It's a little late now, but I forgot to mention these.

I'd say they are average to wide. I would certainly not call them narrow.

agreed.

I own a pair and they are very narrow at the bottom. Average to wide? Not sure what u are looking at. I had to warm them up to make them wider at the bottom because they didn't go around my skate very well.

[Stewie 721]

after looking at mine again, I still havent worn them in an actual game, I will agree that they are narrow at the bottom. Maybe to me they are average because CCM is what I've used for years, but i still feel the top is wider than stealth line

I guess it is a matter of perspective. Narrow at the bottom? Maybe somewhat, but I would say all around more average, compared to what I would call narrow (Easton stealth, older Vapors, Sherwood traditionals) shinpads. They are not low-profile nor low volume by any means, which seems to be what OP is looking for.

Not the greatest pic, but I am 6' 195 lbs. and wearing pretty bulky pants (Tackla 9000). I have average calves.

Either the supreme's , Easton stealth or CCM U+pro shins

[MThockeydad 469]

I'm 6'-6", 195#.

x-whatever on Easton Stealths

The Easton Stealth 85s (2012) I had were about as narrow as they come. They weren't only tapered toward the bottom, the knee and upper calf portion were narrower than most pads as well.

Unfortunately I haven't had a pair of pads from this line that I didn't lose to cracked knee shells well before their time. Two pair in a row isn't encouraging. I loved their fit otherwise.
