Shin pads.

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.
