Choosing the right shin guard size can be quite difficult. You do not buy shin guards very often, and their sizes also regularly vary by martial arts brand.
No problem! We will explain how to make sure you choose the right shin guard size next time.
Choosing the right shin guard size
There are 2 different ways to choose the right shin guard size.
You can either use your height as a reference or actually measure the length of your shin.
You can then use this information on our shin guard product page (size chart) to see exactly which shin guard size applies.
Shin guard size based on height
If you determine your shin guard size based on your height, a size chart will look approximately like this:
| Up to 150 cm | S |
| 150 to 175 cm | M |
| 175 to 185 cm | L |
| Over 185 cm | XL |
Shin guard size based on shin length
If you determine your shin guard size based on the length of your shin, a size chart will look approximately like this:
| 33 cm | M |
| 36 cm | L |
| 40 cm | XL |
How do I measure my shin?
Measure from the bottom of your knee to the top of your ankle. Is the exact length not listed in the size chart? Then choose the nearest shorter length.
The size charts above are intended as an example. Shin guard sizes vary from one martial arts brand to another.
Therefore, always check the product page (size chart) for the shin guards to make sure you are using the correct size chart.
