Questions
Are these shin guards suitable for daily training?
These shin guards are designed for competition and light sparring. For daily, heavy training or high-impact drills, you may want to consider shin guards with more substantial padding.
How do I clean these shin guards?
Due to the elastic textile construction, hand washing with mild soap and cold water is recommended. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct sunlight or heat to maintain material integrity.
What is the difference between 'competition' and 'sparring' shin guards?
Competition shin guards, like these, are typically lighter and less bulky, offering essential protection without hindering mobility. Sparring shin guards often have more padding for greater impact absorption during training.
How do I choose the right size?
While specific sizing charts are not provided, generally, shin guard sizing is based on your height and shin length. Aim for a snug fit that covers from just below your knee to the top of your foot. If unsure, consult a general sizing guide for Muay Thai shin guards.
