FAQs

What size is this shin guard?

This particular listing is for the Kookaburra Convert Hockey Shin Guard in Medium size.

How do I ensure the best fit?

The shin guard should cover your shin from just below the knee to just above the ankle bone, fitting snugly without restricting circulation. Ensure it feels secure and comfortable when you move.

Can I machine wash these shin guards?

No, machine washing is not recommended. Hand wash with mild soap and cold water, and air dry.

What is the primary material of the shin guard?

The primary material is robust PVC for the outer shell, with foam backing and a fabric finish.

Are these suitable for other sports?

These shin guards are specifically designed for field hockey. Their protective qualities may not be suitable for sports with different impact types or intensity.

How should I store the shin guards when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to preserve the material and fabric finish.

Troubleshooting

Shin guard feels uncomfortable or causes chafing.

Ensure the guard is positioned correctly and is not too tight. Check that the lined foam backing is properly seated. Consider wearing a thinner pair of socks or a dedicated shin guard sleeve underneath.

Fabric pattern appears faded or damaged.

Avoid using harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing. Gently wipe with a damp cloth and allow to air dry. Follow the care instructions precisely.

Shin guard slips down during play.

Use sports tape to secure the top of the shin guard to your leg or sock. Ensure the guard is the correct size; a medium size might be too loose if you have very slender legs.
