Is the liner completely removable? I had the AS-V and the knee donut liner does not come off so they were hard to wash.
I have the V-Pro and it may be different for the XF but, the lower portion cannot be removed as it is on a guide rail which is sewn into the shin guard (allowing the movement up and down).
The donut ring for the knee was also sewn into the shin guard on my v-pro but this could be removable on the xf pro if they tweaked this part of the design. I don't think they did but it's possible.
My friend has the AS-V Pro as well. You can take the lower portion out of the guard rails, you just need to fiddle w it a bit. The top portion was not removable as you said, but I took it to a cobbler and cut it out, then added an extra strip of Velcro to it to reattach it. But the cobbler had to find a specific spot to stitch the velcro through the hard plastic cap and I'm worried the same process cannot be replicated with the XF Pro. @@donnieshannon5468
The thigh guard and lower calf liner can be removed in the XF Pro but the knee donut is sewn in.

@@ice.warehouse Thank you sir
Is the plastic quality any different from the Jetspeed line? I seem to get about two years out of my FT Pro series shin pads before the knee splits in two... FT1 and FT4. I'm hesitant to pull the trigger again.
Don't know how much you weigh but me as of 6'1" and 200 lbs ish never had any issues with the Tacks knee caps.
What the biggest difference between the asv and the xf? A video on the differences would be helpful
The overall design is very similar to the AS-V, however, they did a really good job of fine-tuning the calf guard construction. It's actually connected to the shell liner now instead of the outer shell. This keeps it closer to the body and provides much better coverage and a more comfortable fit.
