Designed to provide superior shock absorption while remaining lightweight and comfortable, the PUMA Ultra Light shin pads feature a flexible, impact resistant shell and an EVA backing to brush off impacts and scrapes alike, whether you’re crunching into tackles or weaving through challenges on the ball. Cutouts in the backing allow air circulation and reduce weight, while the included compression sleeves keep the pads in position.

Shinpads
Shinpads, or shinguards, offer vital protection for the lower leg, absorbing and deflecting impact forces to help prevent injury. They’re so important, in fact, that FIFA deem them compulsory for play at every level of the game. The ref won’t let you over the white line without a pair.

Their resilient construction guards against painful cuts and bruises from wayward tackles, and their key function is to protect the otherwise vulnerable tibia – the shin bone – from potential fractures.
