Product Information

Full details

The Kookaburra Burst Shin Sleeves are designed for field hockey players and athletes of all levels who need to minimize skin irritation caused by friction and sweat during intense matches. These sleeves act as a soft, protective moisture-wicking barrier between your legs and your shin guards, providing superior comfort throughout long training sessions or games. While they offer excellent skin protection, they add an extra layer of fabric under your socks which may require you to adjust your equipment fit slightly.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can these be machine washed?

Yes, they are made of durable polyester and can be machine washed, though air drying is recommended to extend the life of the fabric.

Are these suitable for sports other than field hockey?

Yes, they can be used for any sport that requires shin guards, such as soccer or kickboxing, to provide a layer of comfort.

Do I wear these over or under my socks?

These should be worn directly against the skin, underneath your shin guards and your sports socks.

Are there other color options available?

Yes, Kookaburra offers different variations, such as the Multicolor version of the Burst Shin Sleeves.

Do these provide any impact protection?

No, these are designed for comfort and friction reduction only; they are not intended to replace the impact protection provided by your hard-shell shin guards.

Troubleshooting

Sleeve feels loose or slides down during play

Ensure the sleeve is positioned correctly on the calf and verify that your over-socks provide enough compression to hold the sleeve in place.

Skin irritation persists despite wearing sleeves

Check if the shin guards themselves are clean and free of abrasive debris; ensure the sleeve is fully covering the contact area.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly reduces skin irritation and chafing under shin guards
  • Moisture-wicking material keeps skin dry during games
  • Lightweight and breathable design for improved comfort
  • Easy to wash and quick-drying polyester fabric
  • Universal unisex fit suitable for all players

Cons

  • Adds an extra layer of fabric that may affect shin guard fit
  • Limited to a specific aesthetic colorway
  • Requires regular washing to maintain hygiene

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To use the sleeves, slide them onto your calves so they cover the area where your shin guard sits. Ensure the fabric is pulled taut without any creases to prevent pressure points. These sleeves are compatible with most standard field hockey shin guards. For care, it is recommended to wash the sleeves in cold water after every use to prevent the buildup of sweat and odors. Avoid using harsh bleaches and allow them to air dry to maintain the integrity of the polyester fibers.
