YO! So I'm up to the task of finding a pair of new shinguard, and I really want to try out "OSI" technology. After taking a good look around i found only about three different guards, take a look

Ontario Swine Improvement. It actually came up as a google match so I could not resist But seriously, good question; I think it is the name of a trademarked moldable fiberglass technology, but could not find more info. I've wondered about it but never personally tried it. My Nike J guards are still holding up strong.

Yea I guess technically not OSI but it seems a similar animal

i am thinking about getitn them i just dont know if 40 dollars for shinguards is worth it...

They look nice but I'm not sure how comfortable they are. Im leaning towards the Kwik's they seem like they will fit my shin the best towards the bottom!

I actually tested these for Nike about 4 months ago (I've been a tester for years now). They were okay, but the sleeves kept slipping - they weren't tight enough. Of course, it was a prototype, so hopefully they fixed the problem. They are very, very light and strong, however. They had me test 3 different type of shinguards over the past year.

Tested these referring to which model? Or are you referring to the Nike OSI shinguards which I've never seen before.
