When it comes to protective gear for field players in field hockey, safety, comfort and fit are key considerations. Here are some good tips to keep in mind:Shin Guards: Invest in quality shin guards that offer ample protection for your shins and ankles. Look for a snug fit that doesn't restrict movement, and ensure they cover the areas at risk of impact. Ideally something that covers the full shin bone.Mouthguard: Always wear a properly fitted mouthguard to protect your teeth and jaw during play. Properly fitted mouthguards offer the best protection and comfort. Avoid chewing on your mouthguard, as doing so can impact the fit and reduce the level of protection it offers.Footwear: Choose field hockey-specific shoes with good traction to prevent slipping on the turf and reduce the risk of ankle injuries. Shoes designed for field hockey will often feature a more protective upper to help reduce injuries from impact.Gloves: Consider wearing gloves to protect your hands from stick impacts and friction. Look for gloves with good knuckle protection and a comfortable fit.Proper Fit: Ensure all your protective gear fits well and is not too loose or too tight. Ill-fitting gear can compromise its effectiveness and may cause discomfort during play.Inspect and Replace: Regularly inspect your gear for signs of wear and tear. Replace any damaged or worn-out equipment to maintain maximum protection.Remember that field hockey is a physically demanding sport, and wearing appropriate protective gear can significantly reduce the risk of injuries and allow you to play with confidence. Always prioritize your safety and well-being while enjoying the game to the fullest.Look through our complete protective range here
