## Overview

Ideal for skiers of all levels seeking durable, breathable, and reusable shin protection that outperforms traditional foam alternatives.

## Description

Product description Designed for aggressive skiers at any skill level from beginner to advanced; SkiShins (2 pieces included) were created to reduce/prevent the nagging discomfort or even severe damage that can affect the shin area during skiing (i.e. shin-bang, shin-bite, blisters, bruising, sores, etc.). When properly fitting ski boots are not enough, not an option or impossible to attain due to your unique lower limb anatomy, SkiShins could be used as a cheap and effective alternative/complement to products or materials such as shinnies, shintronics, eliminator custom tongues, extra soft tongue replacements, heel wedges/lifts, double layer socks, neoprene, silicone gel pads, padded socks, shinshields / guards, etc. Constructed from PORON Memory Foam material which instantly reacts to shock impact by absorbing and dispersing the energy over and away from the protected area. This helps to prevent bruising and soreness caused by repetitive contact between the shin and the tongue/upper cuff of the ski boot. Double Sided Design includes a smooth anti-friction surface to be placed directly against the skin which can substantially reduce shear stresses even in moist conditions (e.g. perspiration, melted snow, etc.) which typically increase friction between the socks and skin to cause blisters. The other side has a rough texture in order to knit tightly with the sock rolled over it for a secure fit that requires no bulky straps or messy adhesives. Ergonomic Shape and 3mm Thickness specially developed to fit the contours of the leg, and protect the shin as much as possible without affecting the performance of the boot. Legal Disclaimer Not responsible for any injuries while in use.

Review: Excellent - I'm on day 5 of my ski trip. No issues with my shins. Highly recommend.
Review: Works enough for a couple of hours. But didn’t test in full days.

## Features

- Reusable PORON Shin Protectors Safeguard Against: Shin/Boot Bang, Blisters, Bruises, and Irritation.
- BEST IN CLASS IMPACT PROTECTION - PORON technology offers the best repeated shock absorption of any high performance protection foam for extreme applications. In a nutshell, impact force dissipates and is distributed over a larger area, resulting in lower stress to the wearer. Upon high speed contact, PORON material instantaneously firms creating a protective shield that absorbs the strike, while remaining comfortable and non-confining as it returns to its ‘resting’ state.
- COMFORT - The PORON difference is notable even when the foam is at its thinnest, which means protective gear featuring PORON protection are often more comfortable, flexible and breathable than other protective products. It feels soft and smooth and contours to the body. PORON technology helps to eliminate the need for the uncomfortable, rigid and bulky padding, ensuring a more customized fit.
- ENDURANCE - Our application testing shows PORON molecules will not break down over time like some competitive materials. So you get the same superior cushioning and protection performance throughout the lifetime of the product. Because PORON foam will not break down on impact you get maximum protection every hit. So, go ahead. Slam it; crash it; pound it. When everything depends on it, PORON protection will be there for you - strong.
- Don't be fooled by cheap neoprene foam, EVA foam or similar alternatives which provide very little shock absorption compared to Poron. These other types of foams are better for keeping your beer cool than protecting your shins!!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are they reusable?**
A: Yes, these are definitely reusable.  They can also be cleaned periodically.  It is just recommended not to use harsh cleaners or extremely hot water temperatures when doing so.

**Q: Will these work for bruising low on the shin (like just about foot/ ankle area)?  Most bruising I see on reviews is on the actual middle shin**
A: The only way to know for sure is to find out. My bruising/shin pain when I ski is right in the middle of the leg where the boot is in contact, and I ended ski season going without protection. I ordered these for next ski season. Good luck!

**Q: What if your leg sweat?**
A: To cold to sweat where we are but they work well and the ski socks we wear are snug enough to keep it in place if you do. Smooth material so shouldn't have any abrasion burns if you did sweat and would move a little.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by E***N on 28 November 2022*

I have oddly shaped feet (wide forefoot, narrow heel) and finally found a pair of Technica's that I've managed to get broken in. Except I get wicked shin-bang. I just dealt with it because at worst I would ski for 2 or 3 days, get a massive bruise, but then not have a chance to ski again for a several weeks. Thanks to a relocation, I can now ski multiple times a week, and the shin-bang was killing the joy. This was the final stop before a boot-fitter for new boots. Holy moly do these things work! At first I was skeptical, they are so thin and seemingly pointless, but I figured I might as well try them. I already had a good bruise going on both shins the first I tried them. I barely felt a thing that day. Two days later, I used them again, and nothing, no pain, no bruise, no irritation. These are god-send, they completely fix my boots and eliminated the shin-bang. Not sure how they work, but they too and they are absolutely worth way more than I paid for them.
