I have just purchased the ProForce Lightning shin guards and I am very impressed so far. Unlike cloth shin guards, this foam equipment does not absorb sweat and heat, very nice. The holes provide excellent, the material is top quality, and the padding is as soft as gel. The best part about these shin guards is that they provide about a 1/2 inch of extra padding along the shin bone, preventing that painful sting when legs collide while sparring. You will not be disappointed.

I have purchased the Adidas Reversible chest guard and I am very impressed. Those shopping for chest guards might notice that the Adidas chestguard costs about $20.00 more than chestguards made by Macho and Lightning. Some of this extra cost is because of the label, but this is a good product. The chestguard is a perfect mold to my body and it IS SO MUCH LIGHTER than most chestguards, IT FEELS LIKE AIR! The materials are strong, yet flexible. The chestguard provides excellent protection with a soft layer, then a stiff layer, then a soft layer of padding that absorbs the most powerful kicks. This kick and punch absorption is incredible, so much better than other chestguards I have used. Spend the extra cash and get the best.
