FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the polygonal fusion foam?
The polygonal fusion foam is designed to evenly distribute shocks and excessive force across the guard, providing enhanced protection and comfort during impact.
How do I ensure the guards fit correctly?
Use the Quick-EZ hook-and-loop closure straps to secure the guards. Adjust them for a snug fit that prevents movement without cutting off circulation. Refer to the size guide if unsure about sizing.
Are these guards suitable for all combat sports?
Yes, they are suitable for a wide range of combat sports, including MMA, Muay Thai, and Kickboxing, due to their design for protection and agility. They are CE and UKCA certified and approved by several combat sports federations.
How often should I clean my shin guards?
It is recommended to wipe the guards with a damp cloth after each training session to remove sweat and dirt. Allow them to air dry completely before storing.
What is the advantage of the Maya Hide leather exterior?
Maya Hide leather provides a durable and robust exterior that withstands rigorous training and impacts, contributing to the longevity of the shin guards.
Can these guards be used for training with heavy strikes?
Yes, the combination of IMF molded foam and polygonal fusion foam is specifically designed to withstand and absorb heavy blows, making them suitable for training with intense striking.
Will the guards cause irritation due to sweat?
The advanced dazzle fabric lining is designed for moisture management to prevent sweat build-up. However, for very intense sessions, it's always good practice to ensure proper drying after use.
Troubleshooting
Guards feel too tight or restrictive
Adjust the Quick-EZ hook-and-loop straps to a less tight setting. Ensure you have selected the correct size; if consistently uncomfortable, consider if a different size or model is more suitable.
Straps are not holding securely
Ensure the hook-and-loop surfaces are clean and free of lint or debris. If the straps show signs of wear and tear, they may need replacement.
Excessive sweating inside the guard
While the lining is designed for moisture management, heavy exertion can still lead to sweat. Ensure the guard is properly aired out after each use and consider moisture-wicking socks if the issue persists.
Material stiffness after initial use
Leather and foam materials may require a short break-in period. Use the guards for several training sessions to allow them to mold to your leg shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure you have selected the correct size based on your measurements.
- Slide the shin guard onto your lower leg, ensuring the instep protection covers the top of your foot.
- Secure the guard using the Quick-EZ hook-and-loop straps, adjusting for a snug but comfortable fit. The straps should be firm enough to prevent movement but not so tight as to restrict circulation.
Compatibility:
These guards are designed for a wide range of combat sports, including:
- Mixed Martial Arts (MMA)
- Muay Thai
- Kickboxing
- Karate (with appropriate instep coverage)
- Taekwondo
- General striking training
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. For the interior lining, use a slightly damp cloth and allow it to air dry completely. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing.
- Drying: Always air dry the guards thoroughly after training. Do not place them near direct heat sources, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably unstrapped or loosely strapped to allow for ventilation and prevent creasing of the straps.
