I just picked up a pair of hayabusa pro striking shin guards. and i will compare them with 2 other pro style shin guards that i have access to Gorilla fight Gear's silverback, and king pro style shin guards, i might even make notes on how they compare with windy and a pair of twins traditional shinguards.
First Impressions
First off i was reluctant to pick these up as they're $95 plus tax from a local shop. To me that was crazy expensive. but it was an impulse buy and i took the plunge.
My initial impression was "WTF these aren't even leather!" for the price i assumed the shin guards were leather but they were not. I guess i'm paying for the name with all the advertising they have to do on the UFC it shouldn't of surprised me. The foam is soft and comfortable but i wonder how protective it's going to be once i start checking leg kicks. the workmanship was good only one loose thread but that shouldn't be a problem. they have an extra a piece of padding between the foot and shin pad which is cool. i like the extra material behind the velcro straps i'm kinda curious how that is going to feel once i use them.
I will Edit this post and once i use them a few times, and compared them the other shin guards.
the review will also be posted at Welcome to the MMA Reviews
