Cloth Shinpads

[bleaK]

Anyone ever tried cloth shinpads instead of regular mma shinguards? I'm just wondering how well they may work.

If you're on a really right budget, cloth shin guards aren't too terrible but they won't provide the same kind of protection as leather/synthetic shin guards and they also soak up and hold a lot of moisture.

It depends upon what you are training.
If you are doing multiple reps of Kick/Leg Checking then you will be sore.

But a lot of guys prefer them for general use.
They tend to stay in place. They don't get in your way when grappling.
They can be washed.
