First Impression- The quality of these looked excellent like everything else from Primetime and they did not look bulky like some other pads that I have used. I could not wait to hit the gym with them.

Construction- These shin pads have excellent construction. There are absolutely no loose threads. The leather on the front of them is thick, and has a very durable feel. The padding on both the shin and the instep is thick and stiff so it should provide great shock absorption. It has neoprene lining on the back of the shin pads which is has a great feel to it and is thick enough that I do not think it will tear. The closure system on these is on the top just behind the knee and it a hook and loop style. These guards are manufactured in. The logos on the back of pads are screen printed on while they have a patch on the front.

Fit- The fit of these shin pads is perfect. I got a small which was the correct size. These should fit fairly tight on you, and there are four different sizes so you should be able to find one that fits correctly. When in doubt just ask Primetime I am sure they can help out. They stay very secure against my legs due to the neoprene backing. I have used other pads in the past that just have two point of connection and they just do not stay as tight as these. Now for the bad part of them being so tight. They are very very hard to take off. While being very tight during training is a huge plus, being very tight when trying to get them off is a negative. I had to pull as hard as I could to get a little pulled off, then I had to stand on the end with one foot and pull my leg out. This is just a minor negative compared to everything else these pads have to offer but I did feel like it needed to be mentioned. These are a long pair of shin pads that cover up almost all of the top of the foot and go all the way up to the back of the knee. The hook and loop style closure system in just behind the back of the knee and can be easily adjusted.

Training- I have used several types of shin pads and these are my favorites. They stay perfectly tight no matter what type of training you are doing. While doing stand up whether it was hitting the heavy bag or sparring these stayed snug. They did not shift or ride up. I would do some conditioning stations that would require all different types of training which included rounds of sparring and these pads did not move. They have plenty of padding that is not too thick or stiff but still absorb enough shock. Even on the ground these did not move. Anything from having people in my guard to having some sort of top control and everything in between these remained tight. I did not have to make adjustments to them like other pads I have used. I thought that the Velcro that is on the closure system might irritate the back of my leg, but the way that it is setup it did not bother me at all.

Pros-

*Great Construction

*Perfect Fit

*Stay snug through training

Cons-

*Very hard to take off

*Screen Printed logos on the back

Overall- I do not think that I could be happier with a pair of shin pads as I am with these. Well maybe if I could get them off a little easier, but other than that these are a great product. If you are looking at getting a new pair a shin guards and want something that is meant for not only stand up but grappling too take a look at these. Oh and right now they are on sale. They a normally right around $50 but you can get them now for $40.
