FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right size for hockey shin guards?

The correct size is chosen by measuring the distance from the center of the kneecap to the top of the skate tongue while the leg is slightly bent. The bottom edge of the shin guard should sit over or under the skate tongue without pressing against the ankle or shifting away from the knee protection area.

What is the difference between Bauer Supreme and Bauer Vapor shin guards?

Bauer Supreme shin guards provide an anatomical and high-coverage fit, ideal for players who value excellent protection. Bauer Vapor shin guards, on the other hand, are designed with a tapered fit to maximize agility and guarantee unrestricted mobility for fast skaters.

How do junior and senior shin guards differ from each other?

Junior shin guards are sized and contoured for children and youth, with proportions and strapping systems that match a developing physique. Adult shin guards are designed for fully grown players and feature heavy-duty impact protection to withstand the harder puck impacts and collisions of adult hockey.

How do you properly maintain and dry hockey shin guards?

Shin guards should be dried in an airy space at room temperature. Most models feature a removable inner liner that can be machine-washed regularly on a gentle cycle without fabric softener to prevent bacteria and odors.
