I bought these shin guards in August at the Lumpinee Stadium shop in Bangkok. I paid 1250 baht. They are size XL. I have sparred in them about 50 times.
Pros:
They don't spin or twist when strapped down. The strapping system is very very good. The padding is dense and strong, I don't feel anything when clashing shins or kicking a knee. They are very light, much lighter than the Boon or Windy traditional shins I used before. The leather quality is very good. The part that covers the knee cap has save me from a few injuries so far.
Cons: The red piping is vinyl, not leather. It is starting to tear a bit, but it doesn't really matter. The shin and foot pad is connected by a piece of unpadded neoprene. I kicked an elbow a few weeks ago and it fricken hurt...lol.
I woould rate these shin pads 9 out of 10. They are the best shins I have used. If they redesign the neoprene part, they will be a perfect 10.
