BMX Shin Guards & Ankle Guards
Why Use BMX Shin and Ankle Pads?
Essential for safety and preventing injury, BMX shin and ankle guards are vital when riding your BMX. Regardless of whether you're a novice or a seasoned rider, it is strongly advised for all BMX enthusiasts to wear protective gear for their lower legs. Performing tricks always carries a risk, so why not ride with assurance and ease of mind?
BMX shin pads offer protection beyond just preventing bruises and "shinners" - a severe fall can leave you unable to ride your bike for weeks or even months. Similarly, BMX ankle guards protect your ankles from impacts with the pedal and give necessary support.
How to Choose the Best BMX Ankle and Shin Pads?
The best shin pads ensure your safety while permitting unrestricted movement. BMX protection comes in either hard or soft form and can be worn over or under your clothing, depending on the type. Hard shell pads offer optimal protection but tend to be bulkier and are typically worn over clothing. Lightweight pads and sleeves utilise a softer protective material that solidifies upon impact. These are versatile in that they can be worn either under or over clothing. Options are available to purchase BMX ankle pads and shin pads separately or as a combined set.
