Sizing Guide: Shinguard
Choosing the correct shinguard size provides better protection, comfort and freedom of movement. Use your height as a starting point, then check the fit against your shin.
How to Measure for Field Hockey Shinguards
- Sit with your leg bent at a 90-degree angle.
- Measure from just below your kneecap to the top of your ankle bone.
- Choose a shinguard that covers most of your shin without touching your knee or restricting ankle movement.
- Check that it fits snugly and remains in place while moving.
- If you are between sizes, choose the larger size for additional coverage.
