If in doubt between two sizes, choose the smaller one: you can prevent a tight fit by adjusting the Velcro closures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCaged 'X' Series versus standard shin guards\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe main difference lies in the material thickness and finish. While many shin guards use 0.8 mm leather, Caged opts for 1.1 mm thick leather. This significantly increases durability and impact protection. The extra-long toe flap offers more coverage than basic models, ideal if you frequently get hit on the toes. Standard shin guards work fine for beginners and recreational fighters, but with intensive sparring you notice the difference in stability and protection. The 'X' Series weighs comparably despite the thicker leather, so you don't have to choose between weight and protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I choose the right size shin guards?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasure your shin from just below the knee to the ankle and compare this with the length measurements in the size guide.
