FAQs
What makes these shin guards 'Super Light'?
The 'Super Light' designation refers to the materials and design used to minimize weight while still providing substantial protection, allowing for greater agility and comfort.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Hummel, typically based on height or leg length, to select the most appropriate size for a secure and effective fit.

What is the primary protective feature?
The combination of a hard outer shell and high-density foam interior provides maximum protection by absorbing and distributing impact forces.
Troubleshooting
Shin guards slipping during play
Ensure the easy mounting sleeves are tightened securely. Check if the shin guard size is appropriate for your leg dimensions. Clean the inside of the sleeves and your leg to remove any moisture or dirt that might affect grip.
Discomfort during wear
Verify that the guards are positioned correctly on the shin. Readjust the mounting sleeves for a less constrictive but still secure fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size for your legs.
Reduced cushioning over time
Inspect the foam for any signs of damage or compression. If the cushioning feels significantly reduced, it may be time to consider replacement to ensure optimal protection.
