New for the 2023 season are the CCM JetSpeed FT6 Pro Shin Guards. CCM has revamped their protective line and designed them to offer maximum breathability in a highly mobile, lightweight yet reliable protective package. Players will feel lighter and cooler than ever without sacrificing protection. The biggest change for the FT6 Pro shin guards over previous models will be the all-new Aer-Tec thermoregulation system. This enhances air circulation, sweat evaporation and regulation of body heat. All of this helps to allow the body’s core temperature to cool quicker, helping players to keep cool and make faster, better decisions when it counts. The construction of the CCM FT6 Pro Shin Guards has kept to its anatomical narrow fit design. Added this year is the multiple ventilation ports in the shin cap and shin liner for maximum airflow and a FLOFOAM knee donut contributes to comfort and pro level protection. This design offers a connected fit that does not feel bulky and offers lightweight mobile protection optimized for elite level of play. It achieves this thanks to the shell construction and the new Aer-Tec suspension system mesh liner with polygiene and odor crunch Moving to the knees and shin caps of the CCM FT6 Pro Shin Guards, CCM used optimized anatomical JDP kneecaps. This improved kneecap flex point offers more freedom of movement and helps to disperse impact force away from the knee. It will also offer a removable/adjustable flofoam knee comfort pad. This is paired up with a floating compress-molded HD foam calf guards which offer lightweight but tough protection and have abrasion resistance at the bottom to help with skate tongues. Molded premium HD foams that are connected to the knee liner will offer a close to the body feel with pro level protection. To hold everything in place, CCM used an upper lock strap with a stretchable comfort cushion and an adjustable calf strap for a customized fit. If you are an elite level player looking for a shin guard that offers maximum protection, comfort, and breathability, look no further than the CCM Jetspeed FT6 Pro Shin Guards.

The CCM Tacks AS-V Pro shin guards are made for elite-level players who need top-of-the-line comfort, mobility, and protection from their hockey equipment. D30 smart material for lightweight impact absorption Anatomical shield design for better protection and fit Adjustable dual calf strap & padded Hyper X lock strap Adjustable sublimated liner for a custom fit JDP kneecap and injected molded calf guard Compressed molded EVA foam flex motion thigh guard Whether it’s blocking shots or fighting off stick checks, keep your legs protected with top-end shin guards from CCM. The Tacks AS-V Pro pads feature D3O smart material, designed for impact absorption and overall elite protection. D3O works using a unique molecular structure which allows molecules to flow freely in standard conditions, giving the material a soft and flexible feel. On impact, the molecules lock together to absorb and dissipate impact energy. This means that the stronger the impact, the more the molecules react, offering you unparalleled protection regardless of the hits you take during a game. D3O technology is included in some key areas of the AS-V Pro model. In the calf, injected molded and exposed HD foam combines with D3O for maximum protection. This premium HD foam provides excellent comfort around the calf area, and the D3O gives excellent shock absorption for an often-neglected area of protection. In the kneecap, CCM combines D3O with their pro-level JDP cap. This construction is designed to disperse the force of impact away from the knee. The Tacks AS-V Pro includes the all-new anatomical PE foam shin cap with abrasion resistant bottom pad. The shin cap construction also has a specifically designed landing area created to lock in hockey tape. This small but useful tool shows CCM’s commitment to providing you with a shin guard that not only protects you, but offers you features that will make you more comfortable every time you step on the ice. For the attachments, the AS-V Pro uses a two-strap system - an upper lock strap and a length adjustable calf strap. The upper strap locks the top of the pad in place for a secure feel, while the dual bottom strap offers customization based on personal preference for how you want the pad to feel, offering the ideal snug fit. Inside the pad, CCM includes an adjustable sublimated liner that will allow comfort whether you go tongues out or tongues in. Shin pads may get overlooked when it comes to hockey equipment, but a good pair is vital for players to stay healthy and protected every time they hit the ice. With the Tacks AS-V Pro shin guard, CCM provides a great option for the elite player.
