Product Description
These are very economical Shock Wave BLACK shin and instep pads. They are very well made of a durable and comfortable elasticized fabric blend. Featuring thick 1/2'' foam padding for solid protection. It's a non-slip fit and holds shape and size through repeated use and washings.
For sizing, we recommend you use your (men's) t-shirt size as a guide. That generally works pretty well unless you're at one end of the bell curve or the other (you're on the thin side or heavy side). Since they are elastic, they do accommodate a range of sizes/diameters.

great deal, great service November 20, 2008

earlier this year, i started krav maga and taekwondo and usually came home with my fair share of "mat leprosy"; you know, those various scratches, gouges, or unsightly strawberry colored blotches that scream "i pay $100 a month to get mugged for 10 hours a week!" needless to say, it was a blast.
but this fall i took a civilian contracting job in iraq, and the only sparring partner i have now is a 200lb heavy bag at the military provided gym, which wreaks murder on my instep when practicing my front snaps and rear round kicks. sick of stiff ankles, i looked around here online for a pair of pads that are both afforable and durable enough for the punishment a 230lb firefighter can deliver to his shins on an unsuspecting sack of sand. additionally, they work well to cushion ankle weights from rubbing my ankles raw when i shadow box.
i'm very satisfied with my purchase, and after receiving very heartfelt thanks from piranha's customer service for my purchase, i'll definately bring my business back to them when i buy more sparring gear in the future.

I purchased these because the ones I bought from the Tae Kwon Do academy were showing a lot of wear. I looked at a few different places, but I decided on these because of price. The first pair I got were too small, but Piranha Gear took care of this problem quickly. I sent them back and got a larger set very quickly. Because of the level of service I received along with the quality of the product I bought, I will check Piranha Gear first for any future martial arts purchases.

If you want a good, cheap pair of pads this is it. Go for a name brand, get Fairtex, pay the 100 bucks. But of you want a pair that do the same thing, or that your lazy friends can use, I would definatly say to buy these. Cover the shin and foot perfectly, doesn't slide off and only turns after extreme use, just adjust it, and your set again in an instant.

Not only was this item shipped very fast, but these are great pads for not alot of cash.
I tried them on immediately after they arrived and the fit was perfect - I then headed over to my kickboxing gym to give them a thorough workout - and they performed beautifully. I am known to work my gear to a pulp so I am sure when it's time for my next set of pads, I will be coming right back to PIRAHNA GEAR. (I spent over an hour online last night looking at all of their other gear too - I'm making a wish list!)

In a nutshell: Quality sparring pads, great customer service.
These shin guards were the first product I had ordered from Piranha Gear. They arrived quickly and I immediately began putting them to use. They fit comfortably and after somewhat brutal tribulations are still working just fine. They work great for practice and sparring and would recommend them to anyone that needs quality pads for an affordable price.
