Below you will find everything about the models, sizes, colors, and maintenance of Twins shin guards.

Shin guards from Twins Special are known for their top quality, light weight, and fit.

Twins shin guards - lightweight, indestructible, and perfectly fitting

Twins shin guards are among the best in the world - and that is no exaggeration. Countless top coaches and trainers in the kickboxing and Muay Thai world consider Twins shin guards the benchmark in this field.

What sets them apart: an exceptional combination of lightweight constructiona secure fit and extreme durability. The SGL7 has a slim, anatomical shape that fits snugly around the shin without pinching - thanks to 2 Velcro straps and 2 elastics the guard stays in place even during intense sparring.

All Twins shin guards are handmade in Thailand - the birthplace of Muay Thai - and are extensively tested by top fighters, including in the world-famous Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok. The quality control is thorough: every product is tested under the toughest conditions, including the intense heat of Thailand itself.

The result: a shin guard that lasts through many training sessions with intensive use, without compromising on comfort or protection.

Twins shin guards - the SGL7 model

Fight2Win has the Twins SGL7 model in the range - the most popular and versatile shin guard model from Twins Special.

Twins SGL7 - the lightweight top model from Twins. A slim, anatomical design that fits snugly around the shin without pinching. The guard has 2 Velcro straps and 2 elastics for a secure and stable fit during the toughest sparring sessions. Handmade from high-quality leather in Thailand.

The SGL7 offers protection for both the shin and the instep - essential in Muay Thai and kickboxing where kicking techniques are central. The combination of a sturdy exterior and soft inner lining provides maximum protection without compromising mobility.

Previously in the range: the Twins SG3 (intermediate/advanced model) is no longer available. The SGL7 is the successor and improved version.

The SGL7 is available in 5 colors: black, white, burgundy, army green, and grey - and in sizes XS to XL.

Twins shin guards - choosing the right size

The Twins SGL7 shin guard is available in 5 sizes: XS, S, M, L, and XL. Choose based on your shin length - not your clothing size.

As a rule of thumb:

XS - for children and very small ladies or gentlemen. Shin length approx. 28-32 cm.

S - for smaller adults and light athletes. Shin length approx. 33-36 cm.

M - the most popular size for average adults. Shin length approx. 37-40 cm. Suitable for most ladies and lighter gentlemen. Height up to about 1.75 m

L - for larger adults. Shin length approx. 41-44 cm. The standard size for most gentlemen. Height about 1.75 to 1.85 m

XL - for large and heavy athletes. Shin length approx. 45 cm and longer.

Tip: measure your shin from just below the kneecap to the instep. Unsure between two sizes? Then choose the larger size for more coverage. The Velcro closure and elastics ensure a good fit even with a slightly larger size.

Note: not all colors are available in all sizes. Black is available in XS through XL, the other colors in M through L or M through XL.

Twins shin guards - suitable for kickboxing, Muay Thai and more

The Twins SGL7 shin guard is designed for the toughest training in Muay Thai and kickboxing, but is equally suitable for other martial arts where shin protection is required:

Muay Thai and thai boxing - the home of Twins. The SGL7 is tested and approved by top fighters in Thailand and provides the protection needed for intensive sparring with full kicking techniques.

Kickboxing - the SGL7 is the most used shin guard in Dutch and Belgian kickboxing gyms. The slim fit fits well under most kickboxing shorts and does not restrict freedom of movement.

MMA - the SGL7 is also widely used in MMA training for sparring and technique training.

Beginners - the complete Twins kickboxing sets include the SGL7 as the standard shin guard. An excellent choice for those just starting and wanting to train with top quality right away.

Women and men - the SGL7 is available in XS to XL and is therefore suitable for both women and men. The smaller sizes (XS, S) are also suitable for older children and teenagers.

Twins shin guards - maintenance and lifespan

The Twins SGL7 is made of high-quality Synthetic leather and will last many years with proper care - even with intensive use several times a week.

After each training: Leave the shin guards open and in a ventilated place to dry - never put them directly in a sports bag. Moisture and sweat damage the material and accelerate wear. Use a disinfectant spray to neutralize odors.

Regular maintenance: Wipe the outside with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. You can gently clean the inner lining with a damp cloth. Synthetic leather does not need leather grease, but a special synthetic leather spray can protect the material and keep it fresh.

Velcro and elastics: Regularly check if the Velcro fastener still adheres well. Remove lint and dust from the Velcro to maintain grip.

What to avoid: Never use a washing machine. Do not dry in direct sunlight or near a heat source. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents.

With proper care, Twins SGL7 shin guards will last through many intensive training sessions.
