8 Weapons Shin Guards (Sak Yant Tiger, Unlimited, and signature lines) are full-coverage Muay Thai shin and instep guards with multilayered padding and neoprene insteps. Adult sizes M-XL by leg length; junior sizes (S/M, L/XL, XXL) span ages 4-10. Find matching 8 Weapons gear in the 8 Weapons collection.
Fit tip: 8 Weapons shin guards size by total leg length (knee to top of foot) rather than calf circumference — the dual Velcro straps and elastic foot loops handle width. If you sit between two sizes, size up for a more relaxed fit; size down for the tightest pad-round feel. Adult guards are sold as a pair, kids guards too.
| Size | Suits | Shin Length | Foot Length |
|---|---|---|---|
| S/M (Kids) | 4-6 years | 10 in (25.5 cm) | 6 in (15 cm) |
| L/XL (Kids) | 6-8 years | 12 in (30.5 cm) | 6.5 in (17 cm) |
| XXL (Kids) | 8-10 years | 14 in (35.5 cm) | 7 in (18 cm) |
| S (Adult) | ~160-170 cm | ~36 cm | ~22 cm |
| M (Adult) | ~170-180 cm | ~38 cm | ~23 cm |
| L (Adult) | ~180-190 cm | ~40 cm | ~24 cm |
| XL (Adult) | ~190+ cm | ~42 cm | ~25 cm |
Kids sizing is 8 Weapons' published chart (S/M, L/XL, XXL). Adult sizing follows the brand's standard cm-to-height convention used across the Sak Yant Tiger and Unlimited lines.
How to measure
- Shin length: Stand or sit with the leg bent slightly. Measure from just below the knee down to the top of the foot (where the instep flap will sit).
- Foot length: Place a tape on the floor against a wall, stand with the longest toe at the wall, read foot length for the instep flap coverage.

The Sak Yant series of 8 WEAPONS shin guards offer great protection during training. This new series has improved upon previous versions by building upon their strengths. The goal was to create a new protector that provides better protection and reduces the risk of injury during every training situation.
The multi-layered and firm padding of the shin guards is designed to prevent the shin bone from penetrating the padding, thus reducing the risk of bruises caused by hard kicks on elbows.
For a stable fit, the shin guards come with two wide hook and loop fasteners that can even be easily opened and closed when wearing boxing gloves. Two elastic bands hold the protector in place in the foot area, while a neoprene insert in the transition to the instep improves the foot section's flexibility.
The 8 WEAPONS shin guards are made of high-quality synthetic leather and are delivered as a pair, providing a durable and reliable option for training.
