Description
The ION Shin Pads BD-Sock are unisex skate-style socks with thin protection for the shins and ankles. The almost invisible HD_Memory_Foam protects against light knocks and pedal pins, and the long cuff and flexible fabric mean you'll forget you're wearing them.
Who it's for
- MTB riders on flat pedals who take the odd pin strike.
- Anyone who wants shin protection without rigid shin guards.
Features
- HD_Memory_Foam pad: closed-cell foam with very high impact absorption, even on repeated impacts.
- Main fabric composition: 87% cotton, 11% polyamide, 2% elastane.

Frequently asked questions

Yes, ION designs them for light knocks and for pins, with foam on the shins and ankles.
Can you feel them when pedalling?
They're thin and flexible, with a long skate-sock cut, so you barely notice them.
