Confidence and assertiveness go a long way in the sport of ski racing, where hesitation and passiveness do not belong.  For aspiring racers, learning how to safely navigate the race course is ideal, and going faster and faster can present some future problems.  It’s easy to get hurt when you’re skiing, but if you have the proper safety equipment, you can mitigate any potential injuries relatively easily.  For junior racers, having your shins protected is a positive on multiple ends.  First and foremost, when you take a gate to the shin, it really hurts.  At those types of speeds, broken bones are not out of the question.  Secondly, if you’re not taking the line that makes it possible to bash your shins on the gates, you are going to be a lot slower because your line is wider and rounder.  So having these shin guards on your legs aren’t just protecting you from injury, they’re actually making you faster.  Since you can take a straighter path through the gates, you’ll have a faster time.  When you’re not afraid of hitting your shins, you’ll ski more assertively and confidently.  These are two areas that are hard to change.  They cinch on to your legs on the outside of your suit and sit right above the boot top.  As a result, you’ll have better results all season long with the Leki Junior World Cup Shin Guards.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Leki","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":45115322073384,"sku":"3652000|BLACK","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Yellow","offer_id":45115322106152,"sku":"3652000|YELLOW","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0670\/5135\/6456\/files\/leki-wc-pro-jr-shin-guards-3652000.jpg?v=1760711675"},{"product_id":"komperdell-worldcup-shinguard-adult","title":"Komperdell WorldCup Shinguard - Adult","description":"\u003cp\u003eIf you want to get that much closer to the gates and reduce your time by a few hundredths of a second, then you need to get yourself some Komperdell World Cup Shinguards.  These things are burly and slick and are ready to take your racing game to the next level.  With an approximate 16-inch length, these guards will get from your knees all the way down to the boot tops for a seamless amount of protection.  The purpose of the shinguard has a couple of applications.  First and foremost, a protective piece of gear should do just that: protect.  The hard thermo-plastic is backed with a thick foam padded interior, giving the shinguard the necessary strength as well as softness to absorb impact and not let it slow you down.  Most effective when used in a slalom format where you really have to get in there and get those gates out of the way, the Komperdell World Cup Shinguard also allows you to take a straighter, more direct, and aggressive line through the gates.  The straighter the line, the faster the time, so not only do these Komperdell shinguards protect your knees and lower legs from hard impacts, but they also allow you to go faster with more confidence.  If you don’t think you’re going to get hurt, you’re a lot more likely to be able to increase your tempo and speed through the course, making it a performance and confidence-boosting piece of gear—one which all racers should have.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Komperdell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46413764165928,"sku":"K747","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0670\/5135\/6456\/files\/komperdell-worldcup-shinguard-adult-k747.jpg?v=1699462849"},{"product_id":"leki-worldcup-pro-shin-guard-3651001","title":"Leki Worldcup Pro Shin Guard","description":"\u003cp\u003eUnrivaled protection is the name of the game with Leki’s Worldcup Pro Shin Guard.
