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 Sak Yant Big Tiger Shin Guards Black/Black
Bigger padding meets Sak Yant tiger styling in the 8 Weapons Sak Yant Big Tiger Shin Guards Black/Black — a multi-layer padded shin and instep guard built for hard Muay Thai and kickboxing sparring. The Sak Yant tiger motif carries Thai cultural symbolism of strength and protection; the increased shin cushioning underneath makes these one of the better-protected guards in the 8 Weapons range.
The Big Tiger guards build on lessons learned from the previous 8 Weapons shin guard models, adding extra cushioning over the shinbone to reduce bruise risk from hard kicks or elbow checks. Two wide hook-and-loop calf straps lock the guard to the leg through scrambles and switches, dual elastic foot bands stabilise the foot section, and a neoprene insert at the instep transition gives the foot enough flex to land kicks cleanly without the guard fighting back.
Main features:
- Increased multi-layer foam cushioning across the shin for tough sparring
- Premium synthetic leather shell — vegan-friendly, long-lasting durability
- Two wide hook-and-loop calf straps for a secure, adjustable fit
- Dual elastic foot bands plus neoprene instep insert for instep flex
- Sak Yant tiger artwork — Thai symbol of strength and warrior spirit
- Available in four sizes from Small to XL
