ABSTRACT:
A shin pad includes a front pad (21) for protecting a wearer's shin and a rear pad (22) for protecting the wearer's Achilles tendon. The front pad (21) has a bight (23) located between two lobes (24, 25) which each cover one of the two ankle bones which protrude in opposite directions at the wearer's ankle. The rear pad (22) takes the form of a miniature shin pad having a reversed orientation. The lower edge of the rear pad (22) is provided with a bight (33). Located one to either side of the longitudinal axis of the rear pad (22) is one slit of a pair of slits (36). Passing through the slits (36), and a corresponding pair of slits (30) on the front pad (21), is an ankle strap (37) which is provided with a releasable hook and loop VELCRO fastener (38) to enable the two pads to be connected together around the wearers shin.
