Shin pads.

Posted on
  • Can't remember who actually wears these but I have taken a few mallets to the shin recently and was thinking about getting some.

    I know yorgo has robo-pads but does anyone wear the soft BMX style ones?

  • I used to for BMXing and 4X.
    They work well, never tried them for polo though.

  • I use 661 veggie wraps. They work well, but stink after minimal use.

    What i really want are 661 EVO pads with the magic material (d3o) that stiffens on impact.

  • They're knee pads otters, he's asking about shinpads.

  • bums.

    Well, they do shinpads too.

    (will read post properly next time)

  • i have football shin pads. Offer protection for the shin (obviously), and ankles - but have nothing around the back to protect your calf muscles. Picked mine up for £3 from that horrible sports shop on oxford street

  • Weeeeell..

    The second part of this is that I was at a carboot sale on the weekend an a guy was selling some kickboxing equipment and I managed to get some BMX style (kickboxing) shinpads that seem pretty good and cover the whole shin and a little back protection with neoprene or something.

    I got 3 sets for £2 so have 2 sets to give away to the first replies that want!

  • Sure?

  • (PS, I have a pair of shin pads for sale).

  • Yep, I'll take.

  • Always on the make Mark.

    Gone to Mike and Hops.

  • Oh, burn!

  • Cheers Joel... I only wanted to give them a go because it seems from the goalie thread, I may have to get out and start to learn how to actually play polo. If I don't get on with them I was going to offer them to Ali :)

    I'll be at Newington on Weds and Downham at the weekend, or Dave will be playing at Downham tomorrow and Thurs.

  • Oh, burn!

    Ha, but for that comment you can have a sticker.
