Design details

How is protection assessed? We'll explain

The protection provided by a product is based on two factors: coverage of the zone to protect and shock absorption. - To identify the protection zone, we conducted anatomical studies of the tibia. - For shock absorption, with the help of around ten boxers, we studied the energy transferred from strikes when sparring at an intermediate level. The 500 shin guard absorbs an impact of 10 joules (the standard calls for 3 joules), while remaining as lightweight as possible.

How to design a shin guard that stays in place

To ensure your shin guard stays in place throughout your entire session, we started out with anatomical data. The aim? A design that truly hugs the shape of the tibia (shin). The foam is shaped to follow the natural outline of the shin, giving you the perfect fit. We added 2 straps with a two-way buckle that allows you to snugly fit the shin guard to your lower leg.

The story of this product

From the start we wanted a product that accurately fits the shin while being easy to convert into a shin-instep guard. So our product design team started out with anatomic studies in conjunction with the SportsLab, then 3D models and tests using different types of material. After a ton of feedback, a host of prototypes, lab tests and multiple tests in sports clubs with over thirty boxers, we are proud to introduce a product that is lightweight, ergonomic, and progressive!

Our design team explains the twist effect

The so-called twist effect happens when a shin guard slips out of place during training, either to the side, or up or down. Sometimes you feel like you've spent the entire session rearranging them. This is why we are proud to offer a shin guard that truly solves this problem. Now fighters can fully focus on training! It provides a feeling of freedom of movement, fits much better, and is therefore more comfortable."
