Essential impact resistance for elite players who play fast and physical, the Sherwood Code Photon Pro Shin Guards deliver lightweight, breathable protection without slowing you down. Designed with featherlite XT and Nitrex foam to absorb every hit, while the 360° wrap system locks in a tapered, low-profile fit that moves with you, so you can stay quick, cool, and fearless.
Construction
The shin guards are constructed with the use of Featherlite XT. This is an ultra-lightweight design that combines HPE, EVA, and Zotefoam inserts for elite-level, long-lasting impact protection with excellent moisture-wicking performance. Engineered channels and a perforated base with mesh overlay maximize airflow in high-heat zones for breathable, all-game comfort.
Shin Protection
The shins are protected using a hard, durable plastic outer shell. This design has high impact resistance, which allows players to be protected when absorbing impacts. The anatomical fit is designed to wrap around the player’s leg, providing 360-degree coverage. This shin guard also features anatomical isolated zones, which maintain a level of protection by stretching to fit the players anatomy and movements.
Knee Cap & Protection
The knee cap on these shin guards is covered and protected with Nitrex foam. Nitrex foam is a shock-mitigating foam that was strategically added into the knee cap that is designed to disperse impacts away so players can battle harder and longer. Additionally, the foam is also waterproof and sweat-resistant, designed to keep players dry and protected where it matters most.
Calf Protection
Throughout the calf, Sherwood included the use of Nitrex foam to keep players protected. Nitrex is a shock mitigating foam, meaning that it is designed to absorb impacts, and disperse force away, allowing players to be protected and safe while on the ice.
Liner
The shin guards are lined with a microban liner. This antimicrobial coating is designed to combat odor-causing bacteria and keep the gear fresh. The liner is also built to absorb moisture and wick away wetness, keeping players dry and cool while on the ice.
Strapping System
The Photon Pro shin guards are designed with a 360° wrap. This is an innovative strapping system that contours naturally to the body and maximizes fit and feel. The straps are integrated into the structure of the gear for a harness-like fit, ensuring a secure fit during intensive play.
Sizing
The Sherwood Code Photon Pro Senior Hockey Shin Guards come in sizes 14”, 15”, 16”, and 17”.

Player Shin Guard Sizing
- Things to consider:
- Age, Height and Weight
- Level of Play
- Distance Between the Middle of the Kneecap and top of your Skate
When sizing a shin pad, you must determine first if you will wear the shin pad over top of the skate tongue, or if the skate tongue will sit in front of shin pad and “flop” forward. This will determined the length of the shin pad you will want.
Your knee should fit directly into the center of the kneecap, which is usually lined and padded to help direct it and provide comfort. Once the pad is strapped to your leg, it should be secure and snug and should NOT be able to twist rotate or slide freely. There are many strapping systems offered and you must decide what you like and dislike. On some models you will find anchor straps or thicker straps which can offer a better more secure fit. Anchor straps are made up of a stretchy knit material and usually fasten above or below the calf muscle. These straps are designed to anchor the pad in place and not allow it slide up or down. Thicker straps across the calf wrap/guard are also often used, these straps help provide full protection to your leg ensuring that the calf guard reaches across your leg.
Keep in mind that as you go up in price you will usually see more adjustments, options and higher density foams and technologies used. You must determine within your budget, which shin pad offers the most features that you want, as well as provides the most comfort.
Sizing a Shin Pad over top of your Skate Tongue:
To size a shin pad correctly when fitting over top of your skate tongue, measure the length (in inches) of your leg from the middle of your knee cap, when it is bent at a 90 degree angle, to the top of the boot of the skate. Once you have this measurement, round the number up to the next whole number (i.e. 13.2” becomes 14”). Because the shin pad is sitting over top of the skate tongue, it enables your to wear a slightly bigger pad without compromising mobility. This is usually seen as an upside because you get extra protection in areas like the tongue of your skate.
If you are sizing a player and want to include growth room, we do recommend this method as well, because it allows for a bigger pad to be worn, again without compromising motion or mobility.
Sizing a Shin Pad underneath your Skate Tongue:
To size a shin pad correctly when fitting over top of your skate tongue, measure the length (in inches) of your leg from the middle of your knee cap, when it is bent at a 90 degree angle, to the top of the boot of the skate. Once you have this measurement, round the number down to the next whole number (i.e. 13.7” becomes 13”). Because the shin pad is shipping underneath the skate tongue, the pad will not be able to sit right against the edge of the skate and thus a slightly shorter shin pad is used. If a shin pad that is too big is tried on, you will notice that the shin pad is shifted up and the kneecap falls out of the designated spot. If this happens your shin and knee will not be properly protected and you are more susceptible to having your shin pad rotate or more as well.
Compare your height, weight and age to the charts provided to find your best fit. As well, use the measurement that was taken above to compare to the provided charts. Another good estimation is to look at your old/existing shin pads to see what size they are. If you are growing and have outgrown them, then next size up is probably for you. If you liked the way your shin pads felt, it may be smart to continue with the same size.
