Bear Grips Deadlift Shin Guards - Breathable Gym Equipment Rope Climbing Shin Guard for Men and Women - Injury Prevention Calf Support Shin Guard Sleeves for Ultimate Shin Protection

extremely comfortable and the perfect amount of shin protection. Absolutely great for deadlifts, you don't even think twice keeping that shin contact all the way through the lift.

I've done CrossFit for 7 months now and held off on buying anything like these shin guards. I couldn't climb a rope, but one day at the gym I tried and was successful. When I was done with one climb and several more attempts, my shin did burn a bit and I ended up with a scab. Since then, buying these, allows me to focus on climbing and not worrying about my shins. They can also be used for cleans, box jumps or anything else where you are concerned about your shin. I love that the the protection is there, so I don't have to think about hurting my shins. I can instead focus on the muscle groups I am supposed to be working. I feel like these run a little small. I have big calves and bought a large. You want them tight, but I feel like I'm over stretching them. Either way, they fit and do the job well! Whether you're just starting out or been working out for a while, I don't feel like you will be disappointed with these shin guards.

I Got into lifting pretty extensively over the last year. While I made great progress specifically on the deadlift, the barbell was tearing up my shins. I Bought some hard plastic shin guards, but they were too bulky and the strap flaps would frequently cut my hands. I was skeptical of Bear Grips at first because they're sleeves, not hard plastic. However, after the first lifting session, I was sold. These socks completely protected my shins. And even better, they didn't disrupt the flow of the lift. Great product!

I purchased these deadlift shinguards with some skepticism but was immediately impressed once I used them. The sizing instructions provided during the ordering process were spot on. I followed the guide, and they fit perfectly—snug without being too tight.What really stood out to me was the instant improvement in my form. With these shinguards, I was finally able to drag the bar up my shins without worrying about the aggressive knurling tearing up my legs. My form has noticeably improved, and I feel much more confident in my lifts.The stirrup design is excellent—it keeps the guards securely in place throughout my entire workout. I never had to adjust or worry about them shifting, even during my heavier sets.One thing to note is that the shin pad does trap a bit of heat, similar to wearing a thick, long sock. However, some might find this beneficial, as it can keep the calves warm and ready for action.Honestly, I can’t imagine deadlifting without these now. They’ve become an essential part of my routine, and I’d recommend them to anyone looking to protect their shins while improving their form. Five stars!

These guards are just what I needed to protect my poor shins from so many Crossfit miscues! The fit is snug without being noticeably tight; in fact, I can bear-ly feel them which is what you want. There's not much padding on the guards, but it should be enough to prevent skin abrasions and cuts from deadlifts, rope climbs, jump ropes, box jumps, etc. The only markdown on these is my perception of their durability. I could hear the stitching around the opening breaking slightly when putting them on. It may be a one-time thing, but I must now be cognizant of it.

Exactly what I hoped for. Fit well and adequately padded with coverage of the lower shin to low knee area. Haven't tried it out yet in an actually lifting scenario but so far so good

Exactly what i needed, something not too expensive but still helps with my shins. Fit nice feel good we will see how long the seems hold up after continuous washes. Only time will tell.

I have only tried one deadlift workout with these, but they worked very well. Came up below knees and I did not have scrapped shins even though I pulled the bar up along them usually causing me to.bleed. They were thick enough, but not too bulky.
