Bear Grips Deadlift 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!

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 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 :-)

I am waiting to see how the durability is before giving 5 stars, but it definitely gets a strong 4/5.Durability (N/A):Still too early to tell. I will try and provide an update once I get some long term use out of them.Functionality 4/5:I bought these to protect my shins from rope burns during rope climbs. Prior to the Bear Grips I had used knee braces around my lower shins to try and protect them. At about 10 rope climbs I still got some burns which took a week to heal afterwards.Recently I completed the same number of rope climbs, but with the Bear Grips. During the workout at one point I did feel some heat come through, and was worried that I may have just wasted my money. After a few days however no signs of rope burn surfaced. These things did the job. As noted however, I haven't had the chance to use these a lot. I am curious as to how the outer material will hold up against several sessions of rope climbs, and bar scrapes from dead-lifts and various other oly-lifts.I have also been the victim of shin strikes during box jumps, and I imagine that while I would still have some serious bruising should this happen with these on, I wouldn't end up with divots of skin gouged out. With any luck, more like proper scaling, I will never be able to review these for shin strikes.Comfort 5/5:Light weight and comfortable. They do not negatively impact my workouts.Suggested improvements:- Adding a layer of a higher density material to help distribute the pressure from any strikes, this layer would also prevent the heat from ropes climbs from getting through.Overall, I would highly recommend them to others.

I've done CrossFit for 7 months now and held off on buying anything like these shin guards. I couldn't climb a rope, but one day at the gym I tried and was successful. When I was done with one climb and several more attempts, my shin did burn a bit and I ended up with a scab. Since then, buying these, allows me to focus on climbing and not worrying about my shins. They can also be used for cleans, box jumps or anything else where you are concerned about your shin. I love that the the protection is there, so I don't have to think about hurting my shins. I can instead focus on the muscle groups I am supposed to be working. I feel like these run a little small. I have big calves and bought a large. You want them tight, but I feel like I'm over stretching them. Either way, they fit and do the job well! Whether you're just starting out or been working out for a while, I don't feel like you will be disappointed with these shin guards.

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