CCM Tacks 9550 SR Shin Guards
CCM Tacks 9550 SR Shin Guards
The CCM Tacks 9550 Shin Guard provides reliable protection and a lightweight fit, making it perfect for beginner or recreational hockey players.
A standout feature is the JDP technology, an elite design where the knee cap disperses impact energy away from the knee joint. This provides excellent knee protection when a player falls on the ice, slides into the boards, or makes contact with another player.
The internally soft liner ensures an anatomical fit to the leg and is removable, allowing players to dry it faster between uses and toss it in the washing machine. The two-strap construction securely keeps the shin guard in place throughout the game.
Size | Height [cm] | Shin length [cm] |
---|---|---|
36cm (14'') | 163-173 | 36-38 |
38cm (15'') | 173-183 | 38-41 |
41cm (16'') | 183-193 | 41-43 |
To properly choose the length of shin guards, it is necessary to use a tailor's tape measure.
The most convenient way to measure is to sit in a chair with your knee bent at a 90-degree angle. Place one end of the tape measure on your ankle and the other end at the location just below your kneecap (the indentation). To avoid errors, measure several times on both legs.
Standard shin guard sizes are:
20 cm (8"), 23 cm (9"), 25 cm (10”), 28 cm (11”), 30 cm (12”), 33 cm (13”) 36 cm (14”), 38 cm (15”), 41 cm (16”), 44 cm (17”)
Differences may occur between the length of your shin and the dimensions of the shin guards. In such cases, consider how you wear the guards (on top of or under your tongue). An important factor, especially for young players, is whether you are still growing. In that case, it's a good idea to leave a 2-3 cm margin to avoid having to replace the guards during or even mid-season. However, keep in mind that if the shin guard is too small, the straps may restrict circulation and leave areas vulnerable to hits and other impacts. If the shin guard is too large, protection can be compromised by the movement of the guard.
