While the overall design is good in the extra protection afforded by the flap just above the knee, and the streamlined fit of the shinguard, the particular pair I ordered was missing the Velco patch for the calf wraparound. Total Hockey provided a discount rather than having me rebox and mail all the way back to them from Alaska, but I'll have to make one from scratch. Poor quality control by Easton on letting that out of the factory like that. Overly expensive, too.
