The Tacks XR shin guards are equipped with advanced D3O technology for elite-level impact protection on the ice. Designed with a unique molecular structure, D3O remains soft and flexible during regular movement for enhanced comfort and mobility. Upon impact, the molecules instantly lock together to absorb and disperse energy, helping reduce the force transferred to the body. The greater the impact, the harder D3O works, providing players with exceptional protection during every shift.

 

D3O technology is strategically integrated throughout the XR model to deliver an ideal balance of comfort and elite-level protection. In the calf area, D3O is paired with injection-molded foam to create enhanced coverage and superior shot-blocking performance. Around the kneecap, CCM uses an injected plastic cap with a comfort donut to better support the knee while directing impact energy away from the joint for improved protection.

 

The Tacks XR shin guards feature a length-adjustable dual calf strap paired with a padded upper lock strap to keep the pads securely in place around both the top and bottom of the leg. The adjustable fit system allows players to customize the feel and tightness based on calf size and personal preference. For added versatility and comfort, the XR model also includes a removable comfort liner and detachable lower pad, giving players the flexibility to wear their skate tongues in or out.

 

Shin pads may not be the flashiest piece of equipment, but they are vital to protecting your legs and keeping you on the ice shift after shift. The CCM Tacks XR shin guards include plenty of performance and protective features you need to play your best game, making this model an excellent option at this price point.
