CCM Tacks XR80 Senior Shin Guards

CCM Tacks XR80 Senior Shin Guards for balanced adult protection

The CCM Tacks XR80 Senior Shin Guards are designed for adult players who want dependable lower-leg protection without sacrificing skating mobility.

Their lightweight anatomical construction follows the natural shape of the leg and helps keep the protective components properly positioned throughout play.

Anatomical close-to-leg construction

The XR80 uses an ergonomic profile that sits naturally around the shin and knee.

This shape helps reduce unnecessary bulk and creates a secure fit for players who prefer anatomical hockey shin protection.

Anatomical knee protection

The knee area features a protective anatomical cap designed to cover the joint and help distribute impact forces.

This coverage becomes important during direct falls, stick contact and physical situations around the boards.

Ventilated shin protection

The front shell provides ventilated shin coverage designed to combine impact protection with improved airflow.

Better ventilation helps increase comfort during longer practices and games by reducing heat buildup around the lower leg.

Comfortable calf coverage

Rear protection around the calf complements the frontal shin shell and adds additional lower-leg coverage.

This area helps protect against rear and side impacts while maintaining a relatively lightweight feel.

Reinforced side protection

The CCM Tacks XR80 Senior also incorporates additional protection around exposed lateral areas.

This increases overall coverage without making the shin guard unnecessarily bulky for regular adult hockey.

Breathable interior liner

The interior is designed with comfortable breathable materials that help manage moisture during skating.

This contributes to a more pleasant feel during frequent practices and longer sessions on the ice.

Adjustable retention straps

Adjustable straps allow the player to fine-tune how the guard sits around the leg.

Proper strap tension helps keep the knee centred and prevents excessive movement during acceleration, stopping and directional changes.

Mobility for adult hockey

A lightweight shin guard should move naturally with the player. The XR80 construction supports knee flexion and helps preserve an athletic skating stance.

This mobility makes the model suitable for players who rely on quick transitions and dynamic lower-body movement.

Built for regular hockey use

The CCM Tacks XR80 Senior Shin Guards are well suited to adult players participating in regular recreational, training or amateur competitive hockey.

They provide a practical balance for players looking for comfortable, ventilated and mobile Senior shin protection.
