About the Grays G800 Hypervent Shin Guards Medium

Built by Grays, the England hockey brand, the Grays G800 Hypervent Shin Guards is aimed at competitive players who train several times a week. 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 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? Competitive players who train several times a week will get the most from it. Compare it with similar options below before you buy.
