Narrowest Sr or int shin guards

[swede 48]

My 11y old son needs new shin guards.. The thing is, he’s only 5’1” but he has really long shins!

He has now outgrown his Warrior Alpha DX 13” shin guards and need 14” instead..

The problem is that all shin guards in 14” are either Sr or Int and much wider than his 13” Warrior alpha’s.. So, i’m looking for the narrowest 14” shins on the market!

Does anyone here know how Warrior’s 14” alpha shins fit width-wise compared to say Bauer vapor 14” int shins? 

We tried Supreme M3 int shins in both 13” and 14”, both to wide for his liking..

 

Thanks!

My son who likes his gear to hug his body picked up a pair of the newest Vapors a few months back when he clearly outgrew his Supreme shins.  He likes them way more than the Supremes I bought in the next size up and had to sell.  Not sure if he tried the Warriors on in the process of settling on the Vapors.

Try the Jetspeed line, they're pretty narrow.  Also some of the Sherwood stuff looks narrower, or if you can find the old STX shins still those might be worth a shot since everyone said they were super narrow/streamlined.

Older Warrior intermediates in the dynasty line ran narrow as well and I believe they went up to 14”

Today we actually tried on a pair of 13” Jetspeed ft680’s.. And they are actually even narrower than Warrior alpha shins. So going with Jetspeed shins might be a very good suggestion if not the Sr sizes are much wider. The store we were at did not have any 14” shins in stock at all, so..
