Built by adidas, the Germany hockey brand, the adidas Unisex-Adult Adiflex Shin Guards is aimed at anyone from first-timers to experienced players. adidas is known for hockey turf shoes and composite sticks, with roots going back to 1949.
It relies on a hard outer shell that spreads the force of a hit from the ball or a stick.
Field hockey shin guards must be covered by socks in most leagues, so pair them with long hockey socks and, if you like, a compression sleeve to stop them slipping.
The verdict: Anyone from first-timers to experienced players will get the most from it. Use the comparison chart below to weigh it against close alternatives.
