Summary: great deal, great service
Comment: earlier this year, i started krav maga and taekwondo and usually came home with my fair share of "mat leprosy"; you know, those various scratches, gouges, or unsightly strawberry colored blotches that scream "i pay $100 a month to get mugged for 10 hours a week!" needless to say, it was a blast.
but this fall i took a civilian contracting job in iraq, and the only sparring partner i have now is a 200lb heavy bag at the military provided gym, which wreaks murder on my instep when practicing my front snaps and rear round kicks. sick of stiff ankles, i looked around here online for a pair of pads that are both afforable and durable enough for the punishment a 230lb firefighter can deliver to his shins on an unsuspecting sack of sand. additionally, they work well to cushion ankle weights from rubbing my ankles raw when i shadow box.
i'm very satisfied with my purchase, and after receiving very heartfelt thanks from piranha's customer service for my purchase, i'll definately bring my business back to them when i buy more sparring gear in the future.

Summary: Great Pads
Comment: I have owned these pads for about 4 months now. They are over the calf style and stay in place very well. This makes them a little harder to get on and off but its not too taxing. These pads are also pretty hard. They are made of fairly hard foam and on a fast hit they don't give much and sound almost like plastic soccer shin guards but if you squeeze them with your finger aqnd thumb they are compressable on both sides.
Foot pad stays in place well but does rotate in the outer shell a bit. Overall for the price and performance they're hard to beat.

Summary: Cloth shinpads from Piranha
Comment: These shinpads are inexpensive, fit very well, and arrived very quickly from Piranha Gear. They are also unobtrusive and can be quickly applied, either with or without the instep pad elastic strap fitted over the foot. I've not had a chance to see how they withstand kicking punishment but they are at least as sturdy and well constructed as other pads I've tried.

Summary: Wonderful First Experience
Comment: In a nutshell: Quality sparring pads, great customer service.
These shin guards were the first product I had ordered from Piranha Gear. They arrived quickly and I immediately began putting them to use. They fit comfortably and after somewhat brutal tribulations are still working just fine. They work great for practice and sparring and would recommend them to anyone that needs quality pads for an affordable price.

Summary: Great Pads/Low Price
Comment: Not only was this item shipped very fast, but these are great pads for not alot of cash.
I tried them on immediately after they arrived and the fit was perfect - I then headed over to my kickboxing gym to give them a thorough workout - and they performed beautifully. I am known to work my gear to a pulp so I am sure when it's time for my next set of pads, I will be coming right back to PIRAHNA GEAR. (I spent over an hour online last night looking at all of their other gear too - I'm making a wish list!)
