Review on ๐ŸฅŠ YOKKAO Matrix Muay Thai Kickboxing MMA Shin Guards with Knee Guards: Premium Protection for Warriors by Jason Sundstrom

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Yokkao vs Fairtex are good for shields

I want to love this shield but I can't. Before that I used Fairtex sp5 so I will compare it to them. Quality Overall build quality and material quality. Here, in my opinion, Yokkao has the edge and the padding seems to be of higher quality and more durable. I'm not a fan of double velcro and prefer the loop style of other brands. I'm both XL sizes and I'm not your typical Thai fighter but I like the Fairtex for how it fits. The way it hugs the calf and almost never shifts in all types of sparring I'm used to. However, the Yokkoa rises higher on my calf closer to my knee and offers better foot and impact protection, but I'm constantly adjusting it to stay in place and it doesn't have the contour to make it feel separate from you. . Shins like Fairtex. Overall these are top notch shin guards and they can fit amazingly well but they just aren't for me and I'll probably go back to Fairtex or maybe try smokers

Pros
