About the Gryphon Outdoor Shin Guards Classic G4 for Field Hockey Medium

Built by Gryphon, the Australia hockey brand, the Gryphon Outdoor Shin Guards Classic G4 for Field Hockey is aimed at players of every level. Gryphon is known for high-carbon composite sticks and tour, Taboo and Chrome stick families, with roots going back to 1983.

Protection comes from a hard outer shell that spreads the force of a hit from the ball or a stick and ventilation to keep you cooler.

Wear them under over-the-calf hockey socks, which most competitions require, and consider a liner if you are prone to rubbing.

Is it right for you? Players of every level will get the most from it. See how it stacks up against similar products in the comparison chart below.
