Shin pain hindering your performance during sports sessions? Try EPITACT® ski shin guards!
These shin guards prevent and relieve chafing and pain on the shins at pressure points inside high-top boots.
They are therefore very effective in boots used for sliding sports (skiing, snowboarding, hockey, rollerblading, skating, mountaineering, etc.).
The effectiveness of the shin guards relies on EPITELIUMTACT 03, a cushioning silicone gel designed to reduce friction and pressure on the skin.
Self-adhesive, it ensures optimal hold of the guards throughout the activity. These shin guards are very thin (2 mm); they cause no discomfort and are unnoticeable in all types of high-top boots.
Ski shin guards are hand washable (without rubbing) with water and soap. Let dry naturally. Discard and replace the device as soon as cracks appear in the gel or the fabric deteriorates.
