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.

| L/XL (Kids) | 6-8 years | 12 in (30.5 cm) | 6.5 in (17 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.
