The CCM Tacks XF Shin Guard is a standout option for the player who battles, grinds, and seeks elite-level protection at a more approachable price. While offering maximum coverage to the leg, the XF features D3O Zero foam in key impact areas to disperse force taken from blocked shots and heavy slashes away from the body. These areas include the knee donut, outer calf guard, and bottom portion of the shin liner.
Compress-molded EVA foam was used in the thigh portion for added protection and comes with CCM’s FlexMotion construction. Players can adjust the piece to find their perfect coverage and maximize their stride mobility. Additionally, AdaptFit was built into the highly protective injection-molded calf guard, allowing players to adjust the dual-elastic straps to find the perfect fit and coverage, regardless of calf size.
For even more customization, the bottom of the liner can be removed and adjusted to meet the needs of a player’s style. If you rock tongues in, simply remove the piece so the shell sits closer to the body. Adjust and keep the piece in place if you wear the skate tongues out to ensure you have proper comfort and coverage.
