Shin guard sizing is typically based on your height and shin length. Refer to the size chart for specific recommendations, keeping in mind these are designed for a snug fit.
How do I clean and care for these leather shin guards?
Wipe them down with a damp cloth after each use to remove sweat and dirt. Allow them to air dry completely, away from direct sunlight or heat. Occasionally, you can use a leather conditioner to keep the cowhide supple and prevent cracking.
Are these suitable for sparring?
Yes, these shin guards are specifically designed with a three-layer padding system and high-cut protection to withstand rigorous sparring sessions and protect both you and your training partners.
What is the benefit of a 'high cut' design?
The high-cut design extends protection further up your leg, safeguarding your lower thigh and knee area from accidental impacts during kicks and blocks, offering more comprehensive coverage than standard shin guards.
