Full details

The Kookaburra Shin Sleeves are designed for field hockey players of all levels seeking to eliminate skin irritation and discomfort caused by wearing shin guards during matches or training. These lightweight, moisture-wicking sleeves provide a protective barrier between the skin and hard protective equipment, ensuring increased comfort and hygiene during intense physical activity, though they are sold as a supplemental layer rather than protective armor itself.

FAQs

Can these be worn for sports other than field hockey?

Yes, these are excellent for any sport that requires wearing hard shin guards, such as soccer or kickball.

What material are the sleeves made of?

They are made from high-quality polyester, chosen for its moisture-wicking and quick-drying properties.

Are these sleeves intended to protect against impact?

No, they are designed purely for comfort and friction reduction. You must wear them underneath proper protective shin guards.

How should I wash these sleeves?

We recommend a delicate machine wash cycle or hand washing, followed by air drying.

Will they make my legs too hot?

No, the material is specifically selected to be breathable and moisture-wicking to prevent overheating.

Troubleshooting

Sleeves sliding down during play

Ensure the sleeves are pulled high enough to be secured by the top of your hockey sock or consider using a shin guard tape to lock both the sleeve and guard in place.

Irritation still occurring

Check to ensure there is no bunching of the fabric under the shin guard. Pull the sleeve smooth before applying the guard.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly reduces skin irritation and chafing from shin guards
  • Moisture-wicking material keeps legs dry
  • Lightweight design fits easily under socks and equipment
  • Easy to clean and maintain between training sessions

Cons

  • Provides no impact protection on its own
  • May require readjustment if socks are not secured properly over them
  • Available in limited material options

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For optimal results, ensure the sleeves are pulled taut against the skin to avoid folds that could cause discomfort. These sleeves are compatible with virtually all standard field hockey and soccer shin guards. To care for your sleeves, hand wash or machine wash on a delicate cycle with like colors after every session to prevent odor buildup and maintain the integrity of the moisture-wicking fibers. Air drying is recommended to extend the lifespan of the polyester material.
