The Easton Synergy EQ50 shin guard is the top of the EQ line shin guard from Easton. The EQ50 is for the player who constantly is grinding into the boards and takes/gives some beatings. Easton has stepped the EQ series up by introducing a new strap system and added better impact padding.

The EQ strap system is improved for 2011. Easton is using a solid 4" neoprene strap for the calf. This strap is both comfortable and provides a wide range of fits for different calf sizes. The EQ50 features a new soft neoprene pad located on the strap below the knee.

Easton has introduced, HEX-FOAM a new type of material to the EQ50 protective line to help further increase protection and performance. HEX-FOAM is a lightweight molded foam where each pad helps disperse impact and offers improved ventilation.

Protection:
- Wider kneecap allows the knee to sit deeper into the pad providing
  additional protection to the outside of the knee
- HEX-FOAM offers increased protection with less weight and improved air
  circulation
- Sling Tec™ cradles and supports the shin a comfortable distance away from
  the outer shell of the pad. This space between the shin and shell allow impacts
  to be dispersed before reaching the shin.
  - The Sling Tec design has been re-engineered on the Easton EQ line to offer
    improved durability and allow the leg to sit deeper in the shin shell
- Ribbed shin design to reduce direct impacts
- HDPE Calf Wrap to provide advanced protection to the back of the leg
- Extra padding located on knee joint (XJP)
Liner:
- Dry Flow™ shin liner with Griptec- Easton's unique system that releases
  moisture and excess heat created during play
  - Griptec material keeps the shin pad in the right place on your shin
