Cons: uncomfortable strap, must remold if you wash them.

Cons: Have to get them right the first time.

Pros: Fiberglass offers great shin protection
Cons: no ankle guards

The Adidas Orthofit Lite truly is what it is called, a shinguard. The six layers of fiberglass will protect your shins from injury better than any other shinguards, but there are no ankle guards. And kick in between the guard and your shoe will leave...

Pros: lightweight, brand name

I was surprised to see that these pads have achieved a 100% recommended rating. I recently purchased a pair and used them a few times. The lightweight nature of the pads seems appealing. However to make a pad lightweight I believe you compromise...
