ProtecShin: Ultra Low-Profile Shin Protection
ProtecShin: Ultra Low-Profile Shin Protection
For when you’re tired of collecting scars on your shins...
ProtecShin guards are supremely easy to use. Just snap one tab closure into place, and tuck the bottom half of the guard into your sock. No need to take off your shoes or socks, and they pack flat to less than an inch (25mm) thick. They're also easy to rinse off for your next ride.
That means you won’t get lazy about throwing them on when you want to, and taking them off when you don’t. With optional calf guards that attach just as easily, you can ride with confidence knowing that if you do slip a pedal, your shins and calves can be safe from those horrible, deep gashes.
Available with or without calf guards, please select your options. Comes as a pair and includes a strap for each guard.
Note: ProtecShin guards are a balance - they are slim, easy to wear when you feel like trying some tricks or want to send it, and take up almost no space in your pack. Made of thermoplastic polyurethane, they are ideal for absorbing impacts and will* stop pedal pins from puncturing skin. However, you may still experience bruising and associated pain from the impact, simply because they are designed to be thin and minimal. Additionally, if you ride with low socks, then these will not work, as the bottom half will be unsecured. Please consider these variables when deciding on ProtecShin guards!
*While the guard itself withstands puncture from pedal pins, there is of course still the assumed risk that the pedal may find its way to a part of the leg that is not covered. As always, ride within your own capabilities and acceptable risk level!
