FAQs

What’s the difference between SP8 and SP5/SP7?

The SP8 combines extended shin and knee protection with the ergonomic bridge design of SP7, but the guards are non-detachable for maximum coverage.

Can these be used in competition?

Yes — the SP8’s no-metal-loop design allows compliance with most amateur competitions.

Will they stay in place during hard sparring?

Yes — dual Velcro straps plus elastic ankle support are engineered to keep the guards secure even during fast movements.
