Four simple steps

How to wear your guards.

Correct positioning matters. Wear them over your ski socks, beginning just below the knee and continuing down behind the ski-boot tongue.

1. Start with your ski socks

Put on your normal ski socks first. The guards should be worn over the socks rather than directly against the skin.

2. Position the pad below the knee

Pull each sleeve up so the upper edge sits just below the knee. Centre the honeycomb pad along the front of the shin where your boot tongue creates pressure.

3. Let the sleeve extend inside the boot

The lower part of the sleeve should continue behind the boot tongue. Smooth out any folds before fastening the boot.

4. Check the fit

Close the boot normally and make sure nothing pinches, rolls or restricts circulation. The pad should stay centred when you flex forward.

Why the honeycomb pad helps

The 10 mm fast-rebound EVA composite adds cushioning across the front of the shin and helps spread repeated contact over a wider area.
