Shred Shin Guards - Small

The Shin Guard

Ski racing shin guards exist for one reason: take the hit from the gate so your leg doesn't. The Shred Slytech Shin Guards do that job with a hard shell built from Slytech Shield technopolymers, a material blend engineered to stay stiff and protective whether it's cold and brittle out or warming up through the day. 

Gate Glide is the other piece. The shell surface uses NOFRICTION technology additives that cut friction between the guard and the gate on contact, so the gate clears faster instead of grabbing and slowing you through the panel. It's a real-world speed difference in slalom. EVA foam backs the shell for cushioning against the leg, and the anatomical shape means it sits where it should without walking around. Velcro straps — 30mm wide — cinch it down securely.

What We Like

These are purpose-built race guards, not a crossover product. The Slytech Shield shell is legitimately stiff at race-day temperatures, the Gate Glide surface does reduce gate friction, and the fit is clean under a race suit. The Small is 31 cm long, the Medium is 38 cm. If your racer is in the gray zone between sizes, go with the longer one for more coverage. The Gray Rust colorway is clean and reads well under course lighting.
