Bear GripsDeadlift 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 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!

Use these for rope climbs in my crossfit classes. Stay in place and work perfect for me.

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.

I had gnarly scabs all over my shins from heavy deadlifts. The constant pulling of the knurl up my skin left some pretty nasty marks. In order to stop this I looked for shin guards. I wanted something light and thin, but tough enough to at least prevent some friction. Lo and behold BearGrips! They are tough but super comfortable. The padding is just enough that it protects you, but doesn’t feel like you duct taped couch cushions to your shin. They will stay skin tight during the workout, so anticipate hand washing these bad boys. Excellent product.

I followed the instructions for sizing and I got the perfect fit! I used it today for the first time for rope climb and I was very impressed! My shin felt great throughout the whole workout where I had to do rope climbing multiple times. No redness after the workout or burning sensation. I normally don’t write reviews, but this time I was actually impressed and so thrilled with how well it worked for me :-)

Almost returned these because they felt almost too tight, but now I am glad I kept them. This is my second pair of shin guards from Bear Grips; love my first pair still, but I had to be diligent about washing them now because they can get pretty ripe (witch is not Bear Grips fault)! So now I can toss my most recent used one in the wash (without fear of not having a clean pair for my next workout).

I purchased this product to protect my shins during box jumps, deadlifts, cleans, snatches and rope climbs. I chose your products because they look well made. I haven’t rope climbed yet or missed a box jump yet, but they will protect my shins. They are very comfortable and the silicone band keeps the sleeve at the top works well. The sizing chart worked great and gave me just the right size.
