Badboy Legacy Shinguards

So I've been looking at shinguards lately and found that it is such a huge area with so many different types and designs! Anyway, I had a specific wish, I wanted to have a "sock" style as the velcro fasteners just don't suit me.

After a lot of looking on the internet, I went with these:

They seemed to offer the level of padding I wanted and have a neoprene sock rather than the velcro. I was also tempted by the fact that it wasn't a huge cost, £20 is far more palatable than some of the others!

Took delivery today, first impression, very comfy, great level of padding and easy on (not so easy off). Only issue is I don't know if there is a left and right (does the longer bit go up the outside or inside of shin if that makes sense).

I will let you know how I get on with them when I start sparring in class.

Baby powder may help getting them on and off easier. Never wore that type pad, and never tried using it on that type of pad, but during my sports med career, I used it on other stuff like neoprene. Just food for thought if it becomes a hassle.

Cheers, I will see how it goes. The padding is certainly good though, I threw a couple of low mawashi geri's to a tree in the garden hitting with the shin and didn't feel a thing!
