Leki SHIN GUARD WORLDCUP PRO Protection

Designed for alpine ski racers, the LEKI SHIN GUARD WORLDCUP PRO meets the demands of racers tackling gates in slalom and technical races. This unisex shin guard covers the entire lower leg thanks to its wide Pro style and features aerodynamic ridges that facilitate quick deflection around gates upon contact. Its impact-resistant polymer shell, combined with internal padding, makes it designed to withstand repeated impacts in race conditions.

Lower-leg protection designed for competition with the SHIN GUARD WORLDCUP PRO

The World Cup design of the SHIN GUARD WORLDCUP PRO meets the specific demands of circuit racers. The rigid, durable, high-impact plastic shell, measuring 40 cm in length, provides extensive coverage over the shin and lower leg—where contact with the gates is most frequent and intense. The aerodynamic ridges integrated into the shell are not just for aesthetics: their geometry guides the gate’s slide to reduce the impact force transmitted to the leg. This shin guard helps limit the risks associated with repeated impacts, though it does not eliminate them entirely.

Adjustable fit and comfort

Adjustable Velcro straps allow you to customize the fit based on your body type and the thickness of the wetsuit worn underneath. This fastening system ensures that the protection stays in place throughout an entire run, without slipping or shifting as you navigate the gates. The internal padding serves a dual purpose: it enhances comfort against the leg and helps absorb some of the energy during impacts. The ergonomic fit of the entire design conforms to the natural shape of the shin, preventing unwanted pressure points during prolonged wear.

Compliance and Conditions of Use

The SHIN GUARD WORLDCUP PRO is certified compliant with EU Regulation 2016/425 regarding Category II Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and tested according to the UNI EN 1621-1 standard.

For maintenance, washing with water and mild soap is sufficient; avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight, heat, or solvents to preserve the material’s properties.
