The Reebok 4K hockey shin guard offer great value and protection.
Reebok has used the same shell design on this pad as their other pads. Reebok has done a great job at designing a knee and shin shell that effective disperses the energy from impacts. The arches in the shin help prevent a direct hit from a puck or slash making the player feel impacts less. The Reebok shin shell has a less tapered design moving down into the ankle area than some of the other manufacturers. This results in a slightly wider fit in the lower leg portion.
This pad features a removable knee donut liner. This is a soft distinctive blue liner that locks the knee into place. The liner does not run the length of the pad and has a break in the middle of the shin for air ventilation. This break features a mesh covered hole in the liner allowing air flow through the pad keep the temperature down.
