"Evolution" Shin Guards
The "Evolution" shin guard extends protection to the back areas of the shin as well as the sides of the knee and ankle, areas frequently exposed during HEMA techniques but neglected by conventional protections.
- 360° leg protection: shin, calf, knee, and ankle
- High-density polyethylene shells with multi-layer padding
- Elastic straps and velcro system for a customized fit
- Standard 55cm size suitable for average European morphology
- HEMA-specific design validated by expert practitioners
Description
Historical European Martial Arts require protective gear capable of withstanding impacts from multiple angles of attack, unlike more codified modern combat sports. The "Evolution" shin guard precisely meets this requirement by offering comprehensive protection that never sacrifices mobility for safety.
This shin guard features a reinforced main shell complemented by lateral extensions that cover areas typically exposed during leg techniques and ground movements. The dual-shell system – with a rigid external shell and a flexible internal one – absorbs and redistributes the energy from impacts while maintaining comfort during long training sessions.
The main improvement concerns the extended protection of the back of the shin and the sides of the knee and ankle. These areas, particularly exposed during leg techniques or controlled falls, now benefit from optimal coverage without compromising joint flexibility. The multi-layer padding uses memory foam materials that gradually adapt to the morphology of each user.
The moisture-wicking fabric maintains optimal comfort even during intensive bouts, while the dorsal fastening system evenly distributes pressure across the entire leg. This design allows for quick setup and secure hold, essential features during competitions where every second counts.

Important information and terms of use
The "350N" and "800N" ratings designate the fabric's puncture resistance measured in a laboratory. They do not constitute a guarantee against impacts and do not measure shock absorption, as the case may be.
The use of this equipment, particularly for the practice of HEMA, is under the sole responsibility of the user. It is recommended that the user adapt and complete their equipment according to the simulators used (steel, synthetic, wood), the intensity of their practice, and the regulatory requirements of their club or tournament.
