The Nike Guard Lock Sleeves are engineered to provide a crucial function for athletes: keeping shin guards from slipping. During high-intensity sports like soccer, the sleeves' PU lining actively grips your shin guards and leg, ensuring they remain in their intended position through sprints, tackles, and sudden changes in direction. The multidirectional stretch fabric and seamless construction allow for a full range of motion, making them feel like a second skin rather than a restrictive layer. Furthermore, the integrated DriFit technology is invaluable in maintaining comfort and hygiene. It actively pulls sweat away from your body, preventing the clammy sensation often associated with athletic gear, and helps regulate temperature. This combination of secure fit, comfort, and moisture management allows athletes to maintain focus and perform at their best, without the distraction of constantly adjusting their protective gear. They are ideal for training sessions and competitive matches where reliable protection and comfort are paramount.
To use your Nike Guard Lock Sleeves, simply slide them up your leg until they are positioned comfortably over your shin guards. Ensure the shin guard is securely nestled against your shin and then adjust the sleeve so it covers the guard completely, providing an even, snug fit. The elastic nature of the sleeve allows for easy application and removal.
These sleeves are specifically designed to be compatible with all Nike slip-in protectors. While they may fit other brands or types of shin guards, optimal performance and security are guaranteed when paired with Nike's slip-in models. The design ensures a seamless integration, enhancing the protective qualities of your shin guards.
Made from durable Polyester (and potentially Nylon in some variants), proper care will extend the life of your sleeves and maintain their performance benefits, especially the DriFit technology. We recommend the following:
Machine wash cold with like colors.
Do not use bleach.
Tumble dry low or, preferably, air dry to preserve elasticity and fabric integrity.
Do not iron or dry clean.
