Fairtex SP6 Neoprene Muay Thai Shin Guard - Sale

Note: the item is new, overstocked. 

These Fairtex Neoprene Shin Guards have reinforced padding at the shin to help protect against injury but yet are sleek enough to allow for all types of grappling movements during MMA sparring. They are lightweight, durable, and provide complete protection for both the shin and instep. This design makes them perfect for both competition and sparring. The addition of a hook & loop cover over the elastic band at the top assures a secure fit every time. 

Choosing the right shin guard comes down to how you train and what you value most — protection or mobility.

Competition-style shin guards are lighter and slimmer, allowing you to move, kick, and check more naturally. They’re ideal for technical sparring, pad work, and fight prep where speed and realism matter. Many experienced fighters prefer this style because it doesn’t feel bulky or restrictive during movement.

Thicker training shin guards offer more padding and are better suited for beginners or very hard sparring sessions. They provide extra protection but can feel heavier and reduce mobility.

Our take:
If you want a shin guard that feels fast, secure, and fight-ready, a slimmer profile is the better choice. If maximum padding is your priority, a bulkier training model may suit you better.

Genuine leather offers a traditional feel and softens over time, but it requires more maintenance and can wear down faster with heavy sweat exposure.

Fairtex Syntek Leather is:

• Lighter in weight
• More resistant to sweat and moisture
• Easier to clean and maintain
• Extremely durable for frequent training

This is why Fairtex uses Syntek on many of their most popular shin guards — it delivers consistent performance session after session without the upkeep of traditional leather.

If you train regularly and want durability with minimal maintenance, Syntek Leather is a practical, fighter-approved choice.
