Decent MMA shinpads

BigSifu · 07-01-2009, 06:38 AM

I am looking for a good pair of MMA shinpads. I had TWO pair from Title,but the neoprene leg sleeve ripped after only a few sessions. I have Muay Thai shins too,but they are way too bulky to grapple in.

Any suggestions?

I use the black hayabusa shinguards. They are the $Hit, they are comfortable and very functional. They hardly move at all and stay in place very well. They are so comfortable I fell like I can run in them if I had to.

And they look dope as hell

^agreed. Just got a new pair of black Hayabusas and tried 'em out in MT last night. Fit is TIGHT...absolutely no slippage. Seemed to absorb contact pretty well. They also definitely had a slimmer profile than a lot of the other shins ppl were wearing

what are mma-shinpads?

in what way are they different from muay-thai shinpads?

My problem is the rubber part rips at the seams. One pair,as I was pulling them on it ripped right above the pad! The back part seams come apart too. I end up using these things 5 nights a week,I need something that LASTS!

I have the same but in white. They are awesome, they don't move anywhere. As long as you don't to wrench them on and off, they are really durable as well. I am a huge Hayabusa gear fan!

I have the Combat Sports ones. I don't use them often but I have no complaints.
