FAQs
Are these guards NOCSAE certified?
Yes, the Under Armour UA Challenger Pro Sleeved Shin Guards are certified to meet both NOCSAE and CE safety standards.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
Yes, they are machine washable. We recommend using a gentle cycle and air drying to ensure longevity.
How does the SmartFlex technology work?
SmartFlex padding remains flexible while you move but instantly hardens upon impact to dissipate energy and protect your shin.
Do I need to wear tape with these guards?
No, the integrated sleeve design is intended to hold the guard securely in place without the need for additional tape.
Is the guard hard or soft?
The guard is flexible during normal movement but provides rigid impact protection when struck.
Troubleshooting
The guard keeps sliding down during play
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the sleeve feels loose, you may need a smaller size, or ensure the fabric is placed directly against clean, dry skin without additional under-layers.
Sleeve feels too tight on the calf
Avoid over-stretching the fabric when putting it on. If discomfort persists, check if the sleeve is positioned correctly and not twisted.
