About the Gryphon Elite Field Hockey Shinguards

Gryphon's Gryphon Elite Field Hockey Shinguards is designed with elite, college and international-level players in mind. Gryphon is known for high-carbon composite sticks and tour, Taboo and Chrome stick families, with roots going back to 1983.

The guard uses a hard outer shell that spreads the force of a hit from the ball or a stick.

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? High-performance players who play at pace will get the most from it. Compare it with similar options below before you buy.
