These pads are fantastic. I ended up with a gigantic black bruise on my leg by stepping between a former NHLer and the goal, and it convinced me that I really need more padding than just soccer shinguards. I bought a pair of ice hockey pads, but they were too heavy and wouldn’t stay up. These Mylec shin pads were awesome – they stay in place (elastic straps hold them in place, although I really wish they had more elastic straps), are lightweight so you can run in them, and they stop a stick. Several guys in our league has these same pads now, they just work perfectly for the job.Edit: I *really* wish they had more elastic straps – I think my pair was seriously short, looking at other people with the same pair of pads. It makes them slide around a bit. I only have 3 straps on one leg, and 4 straps on the other. There are fastening knobs for 5 straps on each leg.
