The guard is made of 80 percent polypropylene, 10 percent neoprene, and 10 percent nylon. The robust Curv material absorbs impacts and reliably protects your shin from cuts caused by foil edges.

How is the ION Shin Protector secured to the leg?

The shin guard is secured to the lower leg with an elegant hook-and-loop fastener. This ensures a secure fit without slipping, while also allowing it to be quickly put back on after a crash or fall.

What sizes is the ION Shin Protector available in?

The ION Shin Protector is available in sizes S, M, and L. Size L measures 31 cm in height, 32 cm in width, and 3 cm in depth. This allows the guard to fit your lower leg perfectly.

For which applications is the ION Shin Protector suitable?

The guard is suitable for all foil disciplines, such as wing foiling, kite foiling, wind foiling, and prone foiling. It also protects your shin while windsurfing and kiting with a foil if you are lying in the water after a fall or bump against an edge during a water start.

Is the ION Shin Protector suitable for beginners or advanced riders?

The ION Shin Protector is useful for all skill levels, from beginners to professionals. Especially those who regularly go out on the water with a foil benefit from the additional protection against sharp edges and painful impacts.

How do I properly care for the ION Shin Protector?

After use in salt water, rinse the guard with clean fresh water and let it air dry. This keeps the material and hook-and-loop fastener functional for a long time and ensures the shin guard is immediately ready for use again.
