CCM JetSpeed FT6 Pro Shin Guard Review

[@johnkeith3060]

Would you recommend these, or the ASV Pros for a forward that occasionally blocks shots, but is usually more concerned with breakout skating and speed?

[@justme821000]

What's the difference between these and Ft6 standard ones? I've watched both reviews and there doesn't seem to be anything except the price??

[@ice.warehouse]

The AER-TEC Thermoregulation System has more ventilation ports, thus offering more airflow than the FT6. It then uses compress-molded HD foam instead of an EVA foam in key areas like the calf guard, knee wing, and thigh guard. So this is a lighter yet more protective foam than the FT6.

Just got a set and love them. One question though, i've skated with them about 3 times and the top part of the removable liner and the hanger loop is already fraying pretty badly and I've barely used them. Any help?

[@davetechme]

Seems common with CCM loops.

Hey guys any actual difference between the ft6 and ft4 pro shin pads?

[@bardowndangles7533]

Can I cut the top flap thing off the ft4 pros don’t have thst

[@ice.warehouse]

It's actually adjustable and removable, so there is no need to cut it off. Brandon at IW Hockey

Kinda sucks that there's no removable liner

[@ice.warehouse]

The top portion of the knee is actually removable and then with the AER-TEC Suspension Mesh liner, you'll have incredibly fast drying times and it's treated with Polygiene for odor control. Brandon at IW Hockey

[@paulielamothe4134]

@@ice.warehouse Ah gotcha. I suppose the AER-TEC kind of substitutes the removable liner. I always loved having a removable liner in my shinnies

[@ice.warehouse]

Exactly! It substitutes having a removable liner so I would recommend spraying your shin guards down with a gear spray to keep them in top condition and then you can still wash the top portion! Also, wearing a base layer really helps with odor control! Brandon at IW Hockey

I guess the D30 gimmick is finally over 😅

[@ice.warehouse]

D3O is used in the Tacks protective line and is still around. While it may seem like a gimmick, D30 is actually a highly-protective foam and used in many other industries including motorcycle protective gear.

@@ice.warehouse why would t they include it in FT line anymore? It’s still too dollar premium but leaving out the best protection? Weird

Doesnt appear any different from FT4 pro shinpads other than a worse color scheme….

[@ice.warehouse]

The entire JetSpeed protective line has that same core JetSpeed DNA of lightweight exposed foams and mobile construction but now has the new AER-TEC Thermoregulation System that delivers the very best breathability and air circulation to date. Brandon at IW Hockey
