ProLeggera Shin Guard Testimonials

Throughout my career, I have tried many different types of shin guards.
Thanks to the carbon material, PROLEGGERA shin guards are extremely lightweight, fit perfectly, and during play I hardly notice them at all. I also appreciate the precise craftsmanship and the fact that they are handmade in the Czech Republic. For players who are looking for maximum lightness and comfort without compromise, these carbon shin guards make perfect sense.

FAQ
Interested in the technical background of our carbon–Kevlar products? Below you'll find answers to the most frequently asked questions from players transitioning to professional-grade composite equipment.
1. How does the Forged Guard surface differ from traditional carbon shin guards?
The ProLeggera Forged Carbon Guard features forged carbon technology, which replaces the traditional woven carbon fabric with chopped carbon fibers. This process creates a distinctive marble-like effect, ensuring that each shin guard has a completely unique pattern.
Structurally, the guard continues to rely on a proven carbon–Kevlar composite, delivering high stiffness while maintaining an ultra-thin profile. The Kevlar/carbon shell is just 1 mm thick and is combined with 6 mm of internal shock-absorbing foam. The hybrid composite construction provides excellent structural strength and rigidity while maintaining a compact profile of 14 × 7 cm, remaining unobtrusive and discreet on the shin.
2. Are these football shin guards suitable for children, and does the chopped-fiber technology affect their weight?
Yes. This size S model is specifically designed for children, junior players, and anyone who prefers a minimalist feel (ideally for heights between 140–160 cm). The weight remains outstanding even in this version — approximately 20 g in size S.
Although Forged Carbon may look more robust visually, thanks to precise hand lamination in the Czech Republic, these carbon shin guards are still among the lightest on the market. Their low weight ensures that players barely notice them during a match.
3. Who is the exclusive Forged Guard line designed for?
The Forged Guard range is designed for footballers who seek maximum exclusivity and a truly distinctive design. It is the ideal choice for players who want to own an original piece of equipment with a marble-like appearance inspired by the world's most luxurious sports cars.
This model combines progressive aesthetics, handcrafted production, and premium-level design into a single uncompromising product.
