Product Description
The Gold Standard of Sparring Protection.
The Fairtex SP5 is widely considered the best Muay Thai shin guard on the market. If you look around any top-level gym in the UK or Thailand, this is the model you will see.
Finished in a tactical Olive Green, these guards don't just look tough—they are built to withstand the heaviest sparring sessions.
Competition Ready (No Metal Loops)
Unlike cheaper pads that use metal buckles (which can cut sparring partners or get banned in amateur fights), the SP5 uses a secure Velcro strap system with no metal parts. This makes them 100% safe for sparring and legal for use in most amateur competitions.
Designed for "The Check"
The SP5 is famous for its "Natural Feel." The design attaches as close to your shin as possible to prevent bulkiness.
- No More Shin Splinters: The "Stitch-Free" open system between the shin and foot protector prevents the digging and rubbing that causes blisters on the top of your foot.
- Non-Slip Lining: Lined with a durable cotton stretch denim that grips against your leg, preventing the dreaded "shin guard spin" after you check a kick.
- Maximum Coverage: Extended foam protection covers the side of the calf and creates a "wall" up to your knee cap.
Key Features:
- Competition Legal: No metal loops or rough edges.
- Syntek Leather: Fairtex’s signature durable synthetic material (Easy to clean & Vegan Friendly).
- Double Layer Foam: High-impact core to absorb heavy kicks.
- Ergonomic Fit: Contoured to the leg for a natural feel.
- Handmade in Thailand.
FightStuff Expert Tip:
"The SP5s run quite large because of the generous knee protection. If you are average height (5'9" to 5'11"), a Medium often fits better than a Large. The 'denim' lining inside is a game-changer—these honestly do not spin when you get sweaty."
