Are those child size soccer shin guards as climber pads??

why yes they are:

Get some shinguards like they use in soccer in the mean time, haha. Ones like these slip in and out of socks easily, so they might make a good addition to your lifting equipment

These work great for me: Rocktape Rock Guards, Black, Large https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HEP5XF6?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

These for light riding.

These for heavier riding.

I just go to Dick's and get whichever ones they have that look like this: https://www.amazon.com/adidas-Performance-Energy-Legend-Medium/dp/B01MQUH2I4/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1505224049&sr=8-11&keywords=shin+guard+adult

I like the ones that go under my heels because they have little hard discs on the ankle bones. Plus I don't have to worry about wearing a particular sock to keep them on.

Shin guards bro.

Reusch hands down.

Had a pair of red and white finger savers when I used to play. Best gloves I have ever owned. Every pair of Adidas gloves I owned usually wore out within a year.

Exact pair of gloves.

Give these a try. It’s what I’m using currently as my training gloves in lieu of my pred pros.

I, personally am a HUGE fan of my Reusch Argos Pro SG Ortho-Tec. They have spines in them so I don't have to worry about hyper-extended fingers. Some keepers hate the spines though.

Right now I've got the Reusch Receptor D1s. They are good if the field you play on is turf or if you ever play indoors. The foam is rather durable and I've had no issues with it getting torn up by artificial turf. I've got fairly weak wrists/hands from an injury when I was a kid and the wrist straps give great support. These do include finger-saves that you can not remove however, good for me not so much for others.

I've had other Reusch gloves in the past and loved all of them, I'd recommend trying to find a place to try them on before purchasing if possible (especially ones with finger saves) as the cut is different than other brand of gloves I've had like Nike or Adidas.

Good luck in your search!

Thanks for the tip! Here's a link I found if anyone follows: $29 - G-Form shin guards

There are very few HEMA products on Amazon right now, definitely not enough to make a full kit. There are some pieces that are alright though.

• Piranha Gloves - Decent light gloves, for classwork NOT for sparring
  
• Red Dragon Helmet - A good entry level helmet
  
• Red Dragon Shin/Knee - Good leg protection, though you can find similar motocross-style leg protection on Amazon for cheaper too
  
  There are also books by Guy Windsor which I'd recommend. I would avoid the Red Dragon gloves, they fall apart quickly and are no good for steel sparring. I would avoid the Rawlings and Cold Steel synthetic trainers, the Rawlings are floppy crap and the Cold Steel are rigid dangerous crap.

Yeah there are

I have a pair of these in green (they're pretty comfortable) and they protect pretty well. They have a pad on the bone in the ankle and it's pretty nice I got mine from Dick's for about 10 dollars

I'm happy with my G-Forms.

Yeah, the wife likes to use S hook...She gets rb so bad it draws blood.

These are kinda cool....https://www.amazon.com/Rocktape-Protection-Compression-Breathable-RockGuards/dp/B012D01ULM

A possible "close fit" option

Leg Guards

All the other stuff I can find is the real deal($600 + tactical ballistic armor lol)

If all else fails, what are you skills with a sewing machine? Those look like nylon and poly with Styrofoam inserts could turn out pretty good but would just take a while to make

Edit: Forearm possibly?

A couple of friends use these for deadlifts

Since I typically do deadlifts the same day as squats, I'll have my rehband knee sleeves already on so I'll just slip them down just below my knees. Cleaning meat/blood off a barbell in a big public gym is no fun.

Long socks don't really help either

I didn't intend to hit my shin that hard but the york barbells our gym use have super sharp/deep grippy parts.

G-Form Pro-S Shin Guards, Iconic Yellow, Large https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KSMUPTQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_iCGwDb090VE1A

I just started a few games ago with my new pair. Pour some water over the palms and clap a few times. Using these, pretty happy with them so far for a cheap pair.

It has been waaay easier to catch the ball and control rebounds, not sure how much is the water and how much was my old gloves being terrible.

They make pretty slim shin guards that you could just slip under your socks if you end up going that route, kind of like these: https://www.amazon.com/Nike-Mercurial-Lite-Guard-White/dp/B00HMDLFB6/ref=sr_1_6?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1468423497&sr=1-6&keywords=shin+guards

I also had another thought...could you buy a pad to wrap around the bar? I know they make something like that for when you put the bar on your back to do squats, maybe a longer one, or double two up where it's bumping your leg? Then you wouldn't have to wear shin guards, I know I would find that uncomfortable to wear for my whole workout, and also annoying to carry and only put on when I wanted to do deadlifts.

I'm a fan of shin skins made by rock tape. They are thinker than socks, and the way I clamp the rope I have burned mine up. If I was just wearing long socks, I would still have rope burns. But that is a personal preference and a technique thing with me.

These aren't the exact one I have, mine just slip over my calves. I think they've improved the design with these and are better intended for this purpose over a knee sleeve

These badboys are well worth it. this is the second pair I order.
