FAQs
Can I wear these over my base layer?
No, for the best performance and to prevent slipping, these pads should be applied directly to your bare skin.
How many come in a package?
Each purchase includes a pair, providing one protector for each leg.
Will these make my boots feel too tight?
The pads are designed with varying thickness (4mm in the center, 2.5mm at the edges), which is thin enough to avoid significantly altering your boot fit while still providing effective relief.
Are these only for skiers?
While designed with skiers in mind, they can be used by anyone experiencing shin pressure from rigid footwear, including snowboarders and those in certain work boots.
How do I store them?
Once dry after washing, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the gel.
Troubleshooting
Protector slipping during use
Ensure your skin is free of lotions or oils before application and wear a snug-fitting ski sock over the pad.
Loss of grip after several uses
Hand-wash the pads with mild soap and warm water to remove dust and skin oils, then allow them to air dry to restore tackiness.

- Reusable and long-lasting material

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use the Sidas Shin Protector EVO, place the gel pad directly onto clean, dry skin on your shin where you typically experience pressure. Carefully pull your ski socks over the top to lock the pads in place. For compatibility, they work with almost any ski or snowboard sock, provided the sock is snug enough to hold the pad firmly against the leg. To care for your protectors, hand-wash them with mild soap and water after use. Allow them to air dry completely before storing; this process refreshes the adhesive properties of the gel, ensuring they are ready for your next day on the slopes.
