This is the soccer equivalent of an airplane "black box" for your leg. Anything covered by this shin guard is well protected. I loved my pair so much I bought a spare and they hold up so well, after 8 years of playing, mine are still like new and now that I'm retired it's time to see these go to protect someone else from serious injury.
The Diadora Gamma Carbonio is a shin guard that is unlike any other guard out there. It was designed for Totti when he broke his leg several years ago. Made of carbon fibre, this shin guard covers not only your shin, but most of your leg below the knee. The front part that covers the shin is strongest part of the guard, and is for sure the best proctection of any shin guard ever made. It is so solid that you can hardly feel most impacts. The rest of the guard wraps around the sides and back of the calves, nearly covering your entire leg. These parts of the guard are made of a softer, more pliable carbon fibre that, is still very protective in comparison to any other shin guard on the market.
These were very expensive brand new and from what I've seen you can't get them anymore(which is crazy because after wearing several styles over the years, these protect the best!) you are truly getting a premium product for what you pay. When wearing these shin guards, you feel an incredible sense of protection that you don`t get from any other shin guard. This shin guard truely can save you from breaking your leg, as well as preventing many other small in injuries. In my opinion, this is the best shin guard ever made. If you are truly in the market for the most protective shin guard available, than look no further. Nothing even comes close to the level of safety that you will get from this shin guard.
Brand new! Never taken outta the original packaging. Can be worn by men and women.
