Twins shin guards

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 construction, secure fit and extreme durability. The SGL7 has a slim, anatomical shape that fits snugly around the shin without pinching—thanks to 2 hook-and-loop fasteners and 2 elastic straps 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 at the world-famous Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok. Quality control is thorough: every product is tested under the toughest conditions, including Thailand's intense heat.

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

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

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

The SGL7 provides protection for both the shin and instep - essential for 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 its successor and improved version.

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

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 women or men. Shin length approx. 28–32 cm.

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

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

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

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

Tip: Measure your shin from just below the kneecap to the instep. If you're between two sizes, choose the larger size for more coverage. The hook-and-loop fastening and elastic straps ensure a good fit even with a slightly larger size.

Please note: not all colors are available in all sizes. Black is available in XS to XL, while the other colors are available in M to L or M to XL.

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

Muay Thai and thai boxing - the home of Twins. The SGL7 has been tested and approved by top fighters in Thailand and provides the protection needed during intense sparring with full-power kicks.

Kickboxing - the SGL7 is the most widely used shin guard in Dutch and Belgian kickboxing gyms. Its 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 standard shin guard. An excellent choice for those just starting out 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.

The Twins SGL7 is made of high-quality synthetic leather and will last for many hours of training with proper care—even with intensive use several times a week.

After each training session: Leave the shin guards open and dry them in a well-ventilated place—never put them directly into 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 cleaning agent. 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 elastic straps:

Regularly check whether the Velcro fastening still holds securely. Remove lint and dust from the Velcro to maintain its grip. What to avoid:

Never machine wash. Do not dry in direct sunlight or near a heat source. Do not use harsh cleaning agents. Nooit in de wasmachine. Niet in direct zonlicht of bij een warmtebron drogen. Geen agressieve reinigingsmiddelen gebruiken.
