Kickboxing Shin Guards — Soft Shell with Ankle Protection, S to XL

Shin guards are the piece of kit people skip and then regret. Bone-on-bone shin clashes are how a good week of training turns into three weeks off, and a soft-shell guard takes that hit instead of you.

What you get

• Full shin coverage plus a built-in ankle shield — the ankle is where most of the damage actually happens.
• Soft shell PU — absorbs impact and stays comfortable enough for a full round, unlike hard plastic guards.
• Sold as a pair — 0.55 to 0.68 kg per pair, so they are substantial without slowing your kick.
• Ages 13 and up, unisex. Black or white.

Sizing — read this one

These are sized by your height, not by shoe or clothing size:

• S — 125 to 150 cm
• M — 150 to 165 cm
• L — 165 to 180 cm
• XL — 176 to 195 cm

If you fall between two sizes, size up. A guard that stops short of the knee leaves a gap exactly where you do not want one.
