Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, insert these guards into a professional-grade shin guard sleeve or compression sock to hold them securely against the lower leg. Because these guards are pre-formed, verify that the curvature matches the natural shape of your shin before securing them. After use, wipe the guards down with a damp cloth to remove perspiration and dirt. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the carbon fibre resin. Periodically inspect the surface for any hairline fractures; while the carbon layers are incredibly robust, any structural damage should lead to immediate replacement to ensure continued safety.
