Choosing the right size shin guards can be quite difficult. You don't buy shin guards very often and the sizes of shin guards also regularly differ per martial arts brand. No worries! We will explain to you how you can be sure to choose the right size shin guards next time.
Correct size shin guards
There are 2 different ways to choose the right size shin guards. Either you use your body height as a benchmark or you actually measure the length of your shin bone. With this information you can then see exactly which size shin guard belongs on our shin guard product page (EXPLANATION OF SIZING).
Size of shin guards using body height as a benchmark
If you determine the size of your shin guards depending on your height, a size chart will look something like this:
| Up to 150 cm | Size S |
|---|---|
| 150 to 175 cm | Size M |
| 175 to 185 cm | Size L |
| More than 185 cm | Size XL |
Size of shin guards using shin bone as a benchmark
If you determine the size of your shin guards depending on the length of your shin, a size chart will look something like this:
| 33 cm | Size M |
|---|---|
| 36 cm | Size L |
| 40 cm | Size XL |
How do I measure my shin?
You measure from the bottom of your knee to the top of your ankle. Is the length not exactly listed in the size chart? Then choose the nearest lower length.
