Three-part Eastern Shin Guards for Full Contact

Three-part Eastern shins are segment-based shin guards built around historical analogues and guided by period sources from Eastern traditions. The layout is aimed at repeated impact work: plate geometry takes the hit, while flexible zones help you keep footwork and turns predictable under pressure.

Protection and mobility. The plates are connected with mail sections along the edges, acting like a durable hinge: it reduces binding when you move and helps avoid sharp edge “bite” into the calf line. The shaping gives wrap coverage for the shin and side areas—common contact points in clinch, kicks, and crowding.

Fit and adjustment. Back-mounted buckle straps let you tune circumference and lock the greave over an under-armor layer. Sizing and curvature account for common leg anatomy (taper and calf volume); final tuning is done by strap settings and padding choice, without implying automatic bespoke measuring for every buyer.

Service life and checks. Strap hardware is accessible for field maintenance, and the mail connections can be repaired locally if needed. For event safety control, inspectors typically look at edge finishing, fastening integrity, and how the shins integrate with the rest of the leg kit. Similar solutions are used across multiple rulesets (HMB, IMCF, ACL, etc.), but approval depends on configuration and condition on the day.
