Built by STX, the USA hockey brand, the STX Stallion 400 Shin Guard is aimed at regular club and high-school players stepping up their game. STX is known for beginner and youth sticks and composite sticks (XT, HPR), with roots going back to 1970.
It relies on a hard outer shell that spreads the force of a hit from the ball or a stick.
Field hockey shin guards must be covered by socks in most leagues, so pair them with long hockey socks and, if you like, a compression sleeve to stop them slipping.
The verdict: Regular club and high-school players stepping up their game will get the most from it. Use the comparison chart below to weigh it against close alternatives.
