These Sher-wood Code 1 shin guards strike a balance between protection and agility, making them great for competitive players who don’t want bulky gear.
These shinguards are in great condition. They were well taken care of, always dried off so they don’t smell.
Code Shin Guards Key Features:
1. Size and Fit:
* The 12” size typically suits players around 4’4” to 4’10” tall (junior or intermediate range, depending on leg length). It’s ideal for players seeking a snug, low-profile fit without sacrificing coverage.
2. Protection:
* Knee and Shin: Features durable molded plastic in the shin and knee caps for lightweight yet reliable impact resistance. Some models, like the Code include Viconic Impact Protection (VIP) in the knee—a patented, cone-like structure that disperses impact energy away from joints for elite-level safety.
* Calf Coverage: Extensive calf protection with compress-molded high-density foam (sometimes reinforced with PE inserts) guards against slashes and hits—perfect for players who battle in tight spaces.
3. Mobility and Comfort:
* 360° Wrap: Sher-wood’s unique strapping system, which contours to the leg for a secure, comfortable fit that stays in place during play.
* Customizable Impact Protection (CIP): Adjustable components (e.g., calf strap, thigh guard, or lower shin liner) let you tweak the fit to your preference, whether you wear skate tongues in or out.
* Liner: A plush, removable liner with moisture-wicking and odor-reducing tech Microban® keeps the guards fresh and comfy game after game.
4. Breathability:
* Perforated foams, mesh overlays, and ventilation ports enhance airflow, reducing weight and keeping you cool during intense play.
5. Target Player:
* Built for speedy, crafty players who still engage physically—think agility with enough protection for corner battles or shot-blocking.
