PRODUCT DETAILS
The Mercian Hockey Elite Legguards are designed for elite level goalkeepers that want to enhance their hockey game. The Elite Legguards are made with extremely protective foam to help give you the protection needed to make those game winning saves.
The open cell foam is heat bonded together under over a metric tonne (1000kg) of pressure to essentially create a one piece pad. This process removes any glue that can harden and shatter over time, this reducing the foam de-lamination that can be seen in other pads. The outer layer of foam has a skin or crust, reducing the friction that occurs between pad and pitch, aiding sliding and smothering.
The internal shape has been modified to fit a longer leg with the two straps positioned to fit around the calf and below the knee. The legguards have been shaped to give the maximum legal (under FIH regulations) saving surface from the front but have also been lengthened on the inside of the leg to extended the calf protection and give another increased saving surface.
The inner cell has been shaped to fit the leg but is made from heat sensitive foam which moulds under pressure and will fit the shape of the individual GK within the first couple of weeks of use. Finally the new strapping system has fully replaceable buckles (both male and female parts) and comfort pads to again enhance fit and reduce twisting.
