Questions
How do I choose the correct size?
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.
