Mitre Aircell Football Shin Pads

Fit perfect and easy to wear and help the shins

Look good, fit well and protect. What more could you want from the product?!

These well perforated shin pad are effective but the sizes run smaller than suggested by the size guide.I had to buy the large but these are just 22cm long. They work well but the velcro strap is rather short and elasticated so with continued use they do stretch but are tight when new.They also tend to get sweaty during use but dry out quickly. the foam lining is soft but resilient and has not collapsed.They are better for youths rather than big burly adults but offer good value

First a quick word on sizing - I was a bit confused after reading some of the other reviews but can report than the Small is pretty much perfect for our 9 year old daughter who is about 136cm tall - I was considering the next size up but having tried these I feel that would have been a little too big. You don't want shin pads to impede on your movement or feel awkward when wearing them, which can be the case if they are too large.The shin pads themselves are great - lightweight yet nice and solid and offering loads of protection. Most importantly they are very breathable so don't get sweaty and clammy like other's we have used, even when worn for extended periods.In conclusion then these are great for the money - yes there are loads of others that are slightly cheaper but I'd suggest it's worth paying a little more as these hit that sweet spot for price v performance.

I bought these as part of a football kit for my grandson's birthday, and albeit they're in a sealed product pack, they're super lightweight and the protective outer guard feels very sturdy and I'm convinced they'll do their job very well whilst also comfortable to wear.The product images shows that they separate presumably so the protective padding can be laundered (I'll have to read the micro print instructions about that), and I'm sure he's going to be delighted with them.I have nothing negative to say. Delivery was 2 days, the price was lower than expected and hopefully grandad got it right.Lastly, whilst I didn't think of or look for them whilst researching, is whether there's a multi-coloured product say in black, white, red and blue or selectable colours so you can change the outer protective guard colour should you have to wear different coloured socks. Does that sound like a good idea (or not) assuming such a product isn't already available?Highly recommended vendor, price, product and delivery time, but more importantly my grandson.UPDATE:He's just advised me that they're 2 sizes too small (3XL) so unless he either gives them to anyone or something else as they were a gift or they'll likely be making a return trip, but this has no bearing with respect to the vendor, product and price comments originally stated.

Good for the price but they’re huge. I don’t have the smallest legs but they’re even massive for me

For the new school term, these look great and fit my granddaughter just fine. Easy to use and have left and right written on the labels for ease.

This was something of a desperate purchase. My eldest daughter doesn't normally play football, but she was magically selected to compete in a school competition at quite short notice - and asked to bring her own shin pads. So I checked prices on Amazon - fairly reasonable - but I wasn't overly confident at getting the sizing right. So I decided instead to go to Decathlon. Then I forgot. Thankfully, I had Prime to fall back on in my hour of need. I decided to order the Mitre Aircell shin pads online, as they looked pretty decent, had good reviews and were reasonably priced. The size chart was related to child height so I felt I had a good chance of being able to order the correct size. They turned up the day before the competition. My daughter tried them on and they were a really nice fit - she's 145cm / age 11 - curved just enough to fit snug on her leg and with an adaptable, wide, elasticated strip with velcro fastening. She wasn't, therefore, reliant on decent-fitting socks to keep them in place. She liked them, they looked good and after I punched them a few times to test them out she assured me she didn't feel a thing!Unfortunately, the match was then postponed! So after all the faff, she might not get to wear them for a month or two. Nightmare! The good news is, after she's worn them for her solitary match, my youngest daughter - who thankfully plays football - can at least get some wear out of them in a couple of years' time. On another note, they do look great. Which is perhaps not essential when you're trying to protect your body parts, but it does matter though, doesn't it?
