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.

8 Weapons S8 Shin Guards Blue
Sock-style fit meets foam protection in the 8 Weapons S8 Shin Guards Blue — a soft-shell shin guard built around an elastic-weave construction that fits like a knee sock. Unlike traditional strapped guards, the S8 stays in place through the snug elastic fit alone, with a single elastic hook-and-loop strap below the knee for extra security.
The S8 series is shaped for fighters who train often and want a pair of shin guards they can pull on quickly without the strap-fiddle of full-strap guards. The foam padding delivers comfort and protection through pad rounds and lighter sparring, the elastic weave breathes well through long sessions, and the slip-free fit means the guard doesn't shift on shifts and switches. The bold blue colourway pairs cleanly with most Muay Thai shorts and rash guards.
Main features:
- Elastic-weave sock-style fit for a snug, slip-free hold
- Foam padding tuned for comfort and impact protection
- Elastic hook-and-loop strap below the knee for extra security
- Sold as a pair, covering both legs comprehensively
- Versatile across Muay Thai, kickboxing and MMA training
- Available in two sizes — S/M and L/XL
