King Revo versus entry-level models with single closure

The difference lies mainly in stability. Cheaper shin guards often have only one velcro strap, which can cause them to shift during intense sparring. The King Revo has two sturdy velcro closures that keep the guard tight around your shin, supplemented by elastic bands that keep the bottom in place. This makes this model suitable for sparring and partner training, while entry-level models are mainly intended for bag work or light technique training. The thicker padding of the Revo also offers more protection against harder kicks.

Fit and size selection

Use the size chart and measure your shin length: from just below the knee to the top of your ankle. Note that the size indicates how long the guard itself is, not your body height. Some users find that the sizes run on the compact side, so if you're between two sizes or have wide calves, consider the larger size. Also check the width of the velcro straps: if you have very wide or muscular calves, the smaller size may feel too tight.

Frequently asked questions

What size King Pro Boxing shin guards do I need?

Measure the length of your shin from just below the knee to the top of your ankle and compare it with the size chart. The size indication refers to the length of the guard, not your body height or shoe size. If you're between two sizes, choose the larger size for more comfort and freedom of movement.

Are these shin guards suitable for sparring?

Yes, the King Revo is designed for sparring and partner training. The thick padding protects your shins well against kicks and the double velcro strap with elastic bands ensures that the guards stay in place during intense sessions. For competitions, check the rules of your federation.

What is the difference between synthetic leather and genuine leather in shin guards?

Synthetic leather is cheaper, easier to clean and lasts a long time with normal use. Genuine leather is more durable with very intensive use, moulds better to your leg and lasts longer, but costs more and requires more maintenance. For most athletes, high-quality synthetic leather like the Revo offers sufficient quality.

How should I maintain King shin guards?

Wipe the outside after use with a damp cloth and let them air dry, not on a radiator or in direct sunlight. Spray the inside regularly with antibacterial spray to prevent odours. Do not wash the guards in the washing machine, as this damages the material and padding.

Can these shin guards also be used for MMA or BJJ?

For MMA sparring they are suitable if your gym allows it, but for BJJ they are too large and hinder ground work. BJJ typically does not use shin guards. For MMA competitions, separate, lighter shin guards or no guards at all are required, depending on the rules.

How long do King Pro Boxing shin guards last?

With normal use of two to three times per week, they typically last one to two years on average. The lifespan depends on how intensively you train, how you maintain them and how hard the kicks they absorb are. Regularly check whether the padding still provides sufficient protection.
