Product Information

Full details

The Kookaburra Shin Sleeves are designed for field hockey players and athletes seeking to eliminate the discomfort and skin irritation often caused by wearing shin guards during intense training sessions or matches. These unisex sleeves act as a moisture-wicking barrier between your skin and your equipment, promoting better hygiene and long-term comfort. While they excel at preventing chafing, users should note that they are designed as a base layer and do not provide additional impact protection on their own.

FAQs

Can these sleeves be worn with any brand of shin guard?

Are these sleeves machine washable?

No, these are strictly for comfort and moisture management. They contain no padding for impact protection.

Are they suitable for all-day use?

Do I need to wear socks over these?

Troubleshooting

Sleeve feels too loose during movement

Ensure you are using the correct size for your leg circumference and pull the sleeve taut over the calf muscle.

Material feels damp quickly

Polyester is moisture-wicking but not infinitely absorbent; if conditions are extremely humid, consider having a spare pair to swap at halftime.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To use the sleeves, simply slide them onto your lower legs until they are positioned comfortably over the area where your shin guards will sit. Ensure the material is smooth and free of folds to maximize comfort.

Care Instructions

  • Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with like colors using mild detergent.
