Deadlift Shin Guards, 5mm Dense Neoprene Protection, Easy On-Off, No Need to Take Off Shoes - for Weightlifting and Functional Training (Pair)

These bad boys have been protecting my scar tissue shins. Kinda pricy but definitely worth it.I wear compression socks over them so they don’t snag on the bar

Nice quality, padding protects my shins, stays in place and convenient to use.

My husband is on blood thinners and needed something to help protect his legs from cuts and scrapes from logs and sticks. These might be fine for weightlifting purposes, but they didn't work well for him for what he wanted them for. They are too snug and too hot and make your legs sweat. They are decently padded and fairly thick for other uses though. They are adjustable, but still too snug for him. He's tall and wears a size 15 boot. These are just too snug for him to use for anything.

Great product!

Easy to put on or take off. Has really deadlifting less painful. The bars at my gym were destroying my shins and this is a shin saver. Definitely stays in place and has been durable so far.

I have peripheral artery disease and such fat calves that I can't get on standard or zippered compression socks. So, I needed some kind of calf wrap. My cardiologist recommended a very expensive brand but also encouraged me to shop around for something similar. After trying two other kinds, I found these. And they're been terrific!First, they're an inch or more taller than other brands, about 11 inches. This is important to compress as much of the lower leg as possible.Second, with some work, you can tighten them to about 25 mm.Hg. (They're not perfect in that respect: you put them on and tack down all three velcro tongues, then adjust and adjust. You need to snug them and you also have to make sure tongues are all parallel. This takes me at most a couple of minutes per leg: no big deal.) And once they're adjusted properly, you seldom have to readjust them during the day or evening.Third, they're comfortable for all day and evening wear. They seem to "breathe" a bit, so you don't wind up with soggy socks or pruney calf skin.Fourth, they're durable for this use. I've been wearing mine for six months, and there's no sign of wear.Fifth, my cardiologist (from whom I got the compression measurement) is pleased with them. He's even recommending them to some patients, those who have the hand strength to snug them enough.Sixth, the higher priced ones cost about eight times what these do.

UPDATE - Jun 2025 Just looked these up to recommend them to another lifter. I've had the same pair since 2019 - still use them once or twice a week. These things are amazing. I CANNOT deadlift without them. Amazing product. Can't believe how well they've held up!UPDATE - March 2020 - JUST PLAIN LOVE THESE NOW. Have been using these shin guards for several months now and can't deadlift without them. They are still tight but now I know to velcro the middle strap first and then the top then the bottom. Fit great, never slip and give me 100% protection. Thanks guys you make a great product!WOW these are almost PERFECT. I like wearing shin protection when I deadlift. I have a pair of Shin Savers from ST but you have to take your shoes off to put them on. These were exactly what I was looking for but they just BARELY fit and are hard to put on. I hope they relax a bit with use. I am 5'10" and 240lbs with 18" calves. They fit but I have to "STRETCH" them pretty hard. REALLY wish they made a Small and Large size. The name of the company is "Fit Guys" but I think they must be "skinny guys". I have used them for two sessions and Like them a lot but if they were a bit bigger would be pure LOVE! If your calves are much bigger than mine they won't work.

Good alternative for deadlift socks.
