The patent-pending Shot Blocker XT Shorty delivers true, low-profile protection that feels practically weightless. At just 50 grams per skate, it lets players move at full speed without any change in fit or feel. A central hinge provides unrestricted mobility, while its advanced construction—featuring a high-impact engineered resin over-molded with an energy-absorbing thermal polymer—offers exceptional durability, often outlasting the skates themselves.
