Keep your legs scar-free with mountain bike shin guards

Protect yourself against pedal strikes (or worse) with mountain bike shin guards

Not every rider will need mountain bike shin guards. As with all mountain bike protection, it depends on where you’re riding and how you’re riding. If you like to play in rock gardens, are doing any riding where there’s a good chance of crashing and going shin/knee on pointy rocks, or doing light free riding, mountain bike shin guards are a good investment. And if you’re using platform bike pedals, mountain bike shin guards will protect you against pedal strikes. If you’ve earned enough road rash scars, give your legs a break with mountain bike shin pads.

XSportsProtective staff picks for mountain bike shin guards

We’re big fans of Pro-Tec shin guards, which feature a lightweight shin protection system with both hard shell and soft neoprene protection. Some features of the Pro-Tec mountain bike shin guards:

• Removable high-density polyethylene splints to protect the shin
• Soft neoprene backing for comfort
• Durable, scratch-resistant front surface
• Easy-on/Easy-off design.
• Fully compatible with the ProTec Ankle Guards (sold separately)

We’re also crazy about G-Form shin guards, which feature flexible, uniquely molded pads made from a composite blend of PORON® XRD™ material and proprietary G-Form materials. The G Form shin pads are attached to a Nylon/Spandex compression fabric that keeps them close to your body and enhances performance. Other features of G-Form mountain bike shin guards:

• Does not lose impact absorption after repeated impacts
• Designed to flex and move along with body
• Extremely low profile
• Performs well in hot and cold weather
