Built by Grays, the England hockey brand, the Grays G700 Pro Shin Guards is aimed at improving players ready for a little more performance. Grays is known for composite sticks (GX, AC, GR) and shin guards (G600, G700, G800), with roots going back to 1855.
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.
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? Improving players ready for a little more performance will get the most from it. Compare it with similar options below before you buy.
