  • Choose shin pads like a pro - today, JayMike teaches you to choose your shin pads like a boss. It's a jungle out there with different shapes, weights, materials and levels of protection - and no matter if you go with the Nike Mercurial Flylite, the adidas Ghost Foil or the G-Form Plus in the high-end category, the Nike Mercurial Lite or the adidas Ghost Pro in the slip-in category or the Nike Prottega or the adidas Ghost Reflex in the ankle guard category, you get a lot of bang for the buck. The most popular shin pad will be the Nike Mercurial Lite, offering a lightweight, no nonsense performance at a very reasonable price.
    Choosing shin pads can be really difficult. And shin pads are one of the most important things if you want to avoid injuries in football. As mentioned, choosing shin pads can be a jungle - what is the difference and what do you get for your money if you spend big and what do you get on a budget. Should you go for one of the big brands like adidas, nike, puma or from a specialist brand like g-form? All these questions will be answered in the latest version of unisport tech talk. So sit back and enjoy, while JayMike teaches you how to choose shin pads like a pro in today's episode.

    Lightweight, compact with super absorbent impact materials like carbon fiber, and a soft inner layer for comfort against you shin so it's not too abrasive against a tackle, also easy to put on and take off without having to mess around taking both your socks off.

    For the best shin pad I would use super light weight materials and would be very protective. They would have a small bit of padding at the ankles. The shin pads would have some carbon fibre elements on the front to keep them light. On the back they would have small air pods for comfort ( similar to the Nike hypervenom 3) this shin pad would be the most comfy and protective on the market

  • @skillNshoot
    @skillNshoot Před 7 lety

    You guys should take a look at the storelli products. I have used their leg sleeves for years and they are great because they compress slip in shin-pads tightly to your leg, they also provide extra protection around your ankle and leg. You should get them in your store, half the price of the nike sleeves and provides great protection without feeling bulky😀

  • @Adrian-hg9rx
    @Adrian-hg9rx Před 7 lety

    Currently, I'm using the Nike Mercurial lite shin guards. As you said, they are a decently priced product that provides average support for mostly any footballer. But it does not have that custom feel that I'm looking for in a shin guard.
    With that being said, my idea for the most awesome shin pad in the world would have an initial molding period. Almost similar to the process of molding a mouth guard. By applying very light heat to loosen it, then wrapping it to your shin and have compression for about an hour to specifically contour to your legs and jave them hug every curve, vein, and scar on your shins. This will be the key to maximum comfort and little to no irritation or sliding around.
    The pads would come with light compression sleeve with a pocket on the front to have the pads slip right in. This extra pocket will help maintain great hygiene for the player and longevity of the product. (extra length ankle protection with the sleeve option).
    The pad would be made out of compressed and layered visceolastic foam that hardens after the initial molding period. It will feel soft to the touch on the players shin but harden like a rock on the outside to handle the likes of any tackles, abrasions, and natural contact that comes with the occupation of the sport we all love.

  • @nicholasrobinson9762

  • @zaqgoz4765
    @zaqgoz4765 Před 7 lety +21

    For the MOST AWESOME SHIN GUARD IN THE WORLD!!! I would want to have the g-form like share but carbon fiber on the outside and some foam protection on the back part too, but no heavy foam, these would be lighter than most and in the front the shaping like the Nike j guard cause I personally love these and they're so cheap.

    i would add springs in my shinpads so that whenever someone hits me due to the spring they will get hurt again , or i could add foam pods of hypervrnom 3 in the inner side making them great shock absorbers.😊😊😊

    @matkhan3947 Před 7 lety

    Everyone is saying that super light and super protective shin pads are the best but just because the shin pads are light, it doesn't mean that they are comefortable and the best shin pad must be comfortable. My ultimate shin pad would be made of some sort of foam like the retro select that is comfortable and still does the job of protecting you. It would also have velcro straps and a strip of Velcro on the outside of the pad to stick to your sock, to keep it in place so that it doesn't go out if place when you make a challenge. Great video Jay, it was quite helpful as this problem bugged me for quite a while now and you've cleared everything up.

  • @Dead-Ball-Situation
    @Dead-Ball-Situation Před 2 lety

    Oh my old pal, the shin pad conundrum 😆. I often found shin pads too bulky. I'm quite light on my feet and I always felt they "got in the way". My legs/feet always felt a lot freer without them. a few years ago, I bought something similar to the G form with a Puma brand but again, I found the protective layer too bulky. And then came along the Storelli Sleeves. And Bingo, my shin pad problems were solved. I bought Foul brand shinpads that fit nicely into the sleeves and I can tell you that you that with this combination, you barely notice wearing shin pads.

  • @hichembirem1560
    @hichembirem1560 Před 7 lety +2

    A super lightweight shin pad with carbon fibre on the outside and super light plushy foam which is very thin on the inside which would combine to make a balanced shin pad

  • @richardkim1075
    @richardkim1075 Před 7 lety

    My most awesome shin pad would be a thin layer of boost technology on both sides of a thin, but not too thin, carbon fiber sole plate. The reason is because the boost technology will be extremely comfortable, mold to your shins, and the carbon fiber and ultra boost are both pretty light so you won't even notice it on your shins.

  • @ezzalden8942
    @ezzalden8942 Před 7 lety

    I would make a shinpad wich have a very soft protective material all around the leg. So you'll have som protection when you get stamped on. The shinpad will be like a sock, that you pull upp on your leg. The sock will be so flexible that it will be tight whereever you put on your leg, for the best feeling. Of corse the shinpad would be cheap, so that as many as possible can wear them. I really love your videos, keep up the good work!!

  • @lilpold9192
    @lilpold9192 Před 7 lety +2

    I would but a layer of gel between the soft and hard layer so the impact is perfectly absorbed.NASA does that too.

  • @kapparattlerkapparattler6114

    I just wear the $10 Adidas ghost lesto. They are super thin, but not very protective. Don't expect them to be all that durable, but if you want them, I personally like them

  • @le4therf4ce
    @le4therf4ce Před 7 lety

    I'd want knee-high grip socks with an inner-slot for a lightweight plastic slip-in guard. That way you get the foot grip and the shin protection without worrying about the guard shifting on you and don't have to add tape to your leg for every match. Get the best comfort, protection, and minimalization all in one smart sock.

  • @Alex-ms2lt

  • @ezzalden8942
    @ezzalden8942 Před 7 lety

    Most awesome shin pad in the world: I would take the concept of the g-form shin guards but instead on having straight up foam I would replace the foam with a thinner, more dense poron and add a pure carbon fiber plate with no fillers to the top layer. The plate would be a 3 piece with the separations being vertical slits on either side of the shin bone to allow it to shape around your leg while still providing the solid protection in the danger areas. Then I would add an extra layer of poron to the lateral side of the leg for a little bit of extra protection against kicks to the side of the leg.
    Hope that makes sense :P

  • @yusufutkuunver3175
    @yusufutkuunver3175 Před 7 lety

    I'd use the Poron foam from the G-forms and cover it with a super thin layer of carbon fibre...so that it has got more profection while still staying flexible.

  • @infines5047
    @infines5047 Před 7 lety +1

    I just want the thinnest, most low profile shin guard possible. I hate having the feeling of something sticking out from my leg and it really irritates me. I'd love something that forms to my shin and stays really low, so you could barely notice it's there.

    If I could make shin pads I would make them with electric pressure plates it them so when a defender kicks me it shocks them but on the side of the shin pads facing my shin I would make it plastic so it doesn't shock me too.besides these would help my team win by incapacitating a few players on the other team so it would be 11 against 6 or 7 players.hope FIFA would approve .keep up the great work jay mike.

    In order to make a shin pad as awesome as Unisports videos you would have to do something crazy.
    Maybe carbon fiber(for the lightest feel)with a somehow light sock of Nilon.

  • @armourflex-impactprotectio3341

    Have you guy seen this new Shin guard on the market called Armourflex Elite guards - itsa one size that fits a youth to an adult . I purchase a pair of these shin guards are light weight and on 6mm thin, flexible and once it securly attached to the front of sleeves, and you put your match sock over them, they actually stay in place during match play and from tackles - they have also been featured in the world cup issue in the Four Four Two football along with a very decent review . These are a really good piece of kit that my lad uses them instead of his own . I would recommend them to any player from grass roo to adult football and at £26 is real steal

    first id make the shin pads thin and parted so that it wrapped around your foot so it doesn't have much bulk and also it would be cool if they could say how many times you got kicked in the shins. They would need to be very protective as they will be super thin. like if you think this would be cool aswell

    I wanna disagree with what you said. I usually LOVE your vids, but on this one i feel the need to say something. I bought 4 different shin guards and they all felt good. But they all were too bulky. Even the "super" thin Mercurials. Then I went to my local Decathlon and picked up a pair for 10 bucks. Then modified them removing the foam, and trust me, they are the thinnest and lightest I've EVER tried. I understand that you are giving buying advices, but I foud that to be the cheapest and best option for me (and maybe for others to use too). With that being said though, keep on with your work, it's GORGEOUS

    an oobleck shin pad . oobleck is a known to be a liquid but when it is hit its a solid . the reason is for the oobleck to mold to my shin and once I take a cleat or ball to the shin it is solid and protects me enough
