Why Alpine Guards

Stop shin pain before it ends your ski day.

Alpine Guards cushions and redistributes harsh boot pressure to help prevent shin pain, bruising and shin bang without adding a bulky layer.

Choose your size

Key benefits for skiers

Serious pressure relief. Almost no bulk.

01

Helps prevent shin pain and bruising

10 mm EVA cushioning softens concentrated pressure where stiff ski-boot tongues hit hardest.

02

Distributes boot pressure evenly

The honeycomb pad spreads contact across a wider area instead of letting pressure build at one painful point.

03

Secure fit that stays in place

Silicone grip strips help keep the protective pad centred over your shin throughout the ski day.

04

Adapts comfortably to your leg

The flexible stretch sleeve follows different lower-leg shapes for a close, custom-feeling fit.

05

Breathable comfort without bulk

Lightweight protection fits over ski socks and inside ski boots without restricting your movement.

06

Washable and quick-drying

Easy to hand-wash, air-dry and reuse from one mountain day to the next.

How it works

10 mm of targeted protection where boots hit hardest.

The flexible 85% polyester / 15% spandex sleeve follows your leg while silicone grip helps keep the 10 mm EVA honeycomb pad centred over the shin.

  • 10 mm EVA honeycomb cushioning
  • Secure silicone anti-slip grip
  • Lightweight, washable and reusable

Good to know

Frequently asked questions.

How should Alpine Guards be worn?

Wear them over your ski socks. Centre the EVA pad along the front of the shin before putting on and fastening your ski boots.

Will they fit inside ski boots?

The low-profile stretch sleeve is designed for use inside ski boots. Make sure the boot still closes comfortably without excessive pressure.

How do I choose the right size?

Age is only a starting point; measure both the upper and lower calf before ordering. Approximate guide: XS under 6 (measure to confirm), S age 6–10, M age 11–13, L age 14+ or a slim adult fit, and XL adult. Open the Size chart above for the complete inches-and-centimeters measurements. If either measurement sits between sizes, choose the larger size for more comfort.

How do I wash them?

Hand wash gently with mild soap, then reshape and air dry. Do not tumble dry.

What is included in the package?

Each unit contains one pair of Alpine Guards — one protector for each leg.

One small upgrade

Do not let shin pain call the last run.

Add targeted cushioning where your ski boots create the most pressure.
