Full details
The UHLSPORT Flex Plate Protector is an ideal choice for soccer players seeking a balance between high-level impact protection and agility. Designed for athletes who prioritize mobility, this lightweight, anatomically shaped guard offers excellent shock absorption without adding unnecessary bulk to the lower leg. While it provides superior comfort through interior textile lamination, players should note that its highly flexible nature may feel less rigid than traditional, heavy-duty hard-shell protectors.

FAQs
Are these shinguards left and right specific?
Yes, they are designed with an asymmetric and anatomic shape to contour specifically to each leg for better comfort and stability.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended. Hand-washing is preferred to maintain the integrity of the cushioning and textile lamination.
Do these come with compression sleeves?
The product includes the protection plates; please check your specific purchase package to see if compression sleeves are bundled.
What is the benefit of the PES cover?
The PES (Polyester) outer cover provides a durable shield that protects the interior cushioning layers from environmental wear.
Are these suitable for professional level play?
These are designed for players prioritizing flexibility and comfort, though impact resistance preference is subjective to the individual player's role.
Troubleshooting
Guard sliding during movement
Ensure you are using a dedicated compression sleeve over the guard or a shin guard sock with proper elasticity.
Skin irritation after wear
Wash the interior textile surface with a mild soap to remove salt and sweat build-up, and ensure the guard is completely dry before reuse.
Guard feels loose on the leg
Check that you have selected the correct size (XS-XL) and ensure the anatomic left/right side is correctly aligned to the corresponding leg.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal performance, slide the UHLSPORT Flex Plate Protector directly onto the shin, ensuring the longer, tapered end points downward toward the ankle. These guards are compatible with most standard soccer socks or dedicated compression sleeves. To clean, hand-wash the guard with mild soap and cold water after each use. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents, as this can degrade the internal textile lamination. Always air dry the protectors in a shaded, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or heat sources to prevent material warping.
