I'm a beginner at Muay Thai. I was originally borrowing my gym's equipment, however, the shin guards they had didn't fit me well or didn't feel secure as they shifted while moving.I did some research and found these shin pads. For the price, they are great and saved me when I was in a pinch to get some gear for myself fast.Because of its design, these pads were a pain to put on at first. However, with time, the pads were easy to put on and take off as the pads get broken in.Overall, I like these and they have held up for the last 2 months of training 3 days a week. While there are probably better alternative to these neoprene shin guards like Fairtex, these are great for beginners like myself or those who used conventional shin pads but disliked the fit or feel.
