The CranBarry FIT Shinguard L is CranBarry's answer for players of every level. CranBarry is known for field hockey sticks (Eagle) and training and match balls.
The guard uses a hard outer shell that spreads the force of a hit from the ball or a stick, with extra cover around the ankle bones and ventilation to keep you cooler.
Most leagues want guards fully covered, so plan on long hockey socks over the top; a thin sleeve underneath keeps everything from shifting mid-game.
Who should buy it? Players, coaches and teams at any level will get the most from it. Compare it with similar options below before you buy.
