    I stitch my own leather and also do muay thai, so this video has been helpful in letting me design my own shin guards. I'm still trying to figure out the problem with shin guards moving out of place.
    And I hate velcro so much. If it's not your size, the sharper side can slightly injure your training partner, and they don't last long. I was thinking of trying to use shoelaces instead

    • @fightingspirit93
      @fightingspirit93  3 місяці тому +1

      Very cool that you're trying to fix this problem yourself mate!
      I think Velcro is the right move and there are much softer and stronger velcros that should completely eliminate the injury/scratching issue.
      Changing to laces would be a nightmare in my opinion 😢
      I think the combination of the guards shape, build quality of pull back straps and quality of elastic straps all together can make... or break a shin guard entirely! 👍🙏

    Really appreciate this video. My Shin:406mm foot:133mm and height:183cm. The danger sizing chart goes off of height and would put me at a large but I’m wondering if given my leg dimensions I might be better off ordering a medium. If I ultimately have to keep whatever I get, you recommend going for the M?

    I recently got the same imfightstyle shin guards in small, I'm 5'9. How do you personally find them? I tried them tonight by just checking and find the upper straps rubs... Hopefully it softens up but my fairtex sp5 never had this issue. They also feel less comfy than expected at its price point!

      I gave them to a friend as they were clearly too big :(
      However I did notice that the pull-back straps were also way too long!
      If the straps rub when your leg moves then maybe they are too wide for you, as in the shin guard itself doesn't wrap around your leg well..?
      I have had a much better experience with the Danger Shin Guards however its always safer going to a brand like Fairtex!
