The CCM Tacks AS-V Shin Guard offers truly elite-level protection, coverage, and fit for the highly competitive player but at an unbeatable price. CCM added their premium D3O Foam in key impact areas; knee doughnut, calf guard, and the lower shin cap for pro-level impact protection against blocked shots and heavy slashes.
The kneecap also utilizes CCM’s JDP Construction to better disperse impact energy away from the joint and into the surrounding protection. Up top, molded EVA foam adds protection to the lower thigh while its FlexMotion design helps to reduce interference with hockey pants.
CCM included their AdaptFit in the calf strap and lower liner. Players can adjust their calf straps to match their calf size, giving them the perfect fit. AdaptFit on the lower liner means players can now adjust it to match their skating style. If players wear their shin guard over their skate tongue, they can simply remove the lower portion of the liner. For players who prefer to wear their shin guard underneath the skate tongue, they can leave this piece on and ensure the shin guard sits close to the leg and eliminates any gap in protection!
