These particular shins come with a simple classic black option, added with a gunmetal grey IIKO logo down the shin. The cut and curvature are fairly common, but with a few design tweaks here and there, we really think they have an updated modern stylish feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Drako R2 shins consist of high quality 100% cowhide leather that is extremely durable and breathable. The R2 Shin guard incorporates a “no slip” fabric on the inside of every protector. This material helps prevent the twisting and turning of the shin guard during training and after impact. The concept of this material is to essentially grab hold, or stick to the athlete's shin.  This gives the user more time to train \u0026amp; less time adjusting their shin guards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe craftsmanship of all Drako R2 shin guards is very evident when closely looked at. High-quality thread and stitching are applied to all stress areas to ensure maximum life and durability.  The Velcro closure system has a fantastic grab to it and latches together with ease firmly and securely.  The dense inner foam core is absorbent to high levels of contact and assists in dispersing the force upon impact.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProtective Gear Checklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWearing protective gear during intense training sessions is of utmost importance, as we have accepted after years of suffering preventable injuries.
