About the guard
A football shin guard in carbon composite
Monolit has a carbon fibre and epoxy shell, two ventilation openings, a shock-absorbing edge and FoamFit against the shin.
Weight depends on size: the 12 cm guard weighs around 20 grams, the 14 cm around 30 grams and the 19 cm around 40 grams.
The same guard on both legs
The guard is the same on both legs, so either one goes on either leg. All sizes fit all ages. You choose by how much you want the guard to cover.
What the rules say
Shin guards are mandatory in all match football, at every age. They must be completely covered by the socks and give reasonable protection. There is no minimum size, which is why you see such small guards in professional matches.

About the guards
These shin guards are fantastic for young players! They are incredibly lightweight, making it easy for my son to move freely without feeling weighed down. The comfort is excellent — he barely notices he’s wearing them during matches.I actually have to remind him to take them off.Most importantly, they offer great protection. Highly recommend for any footballer!
About the guards
Honestly the best shin guards you can have. Sure, the price is high, but you'll understand why once you use them. They weigh nothing and don't move around in the sock at all. Seriously great shin guards, I have to say!

About the guards
When it comes to protection, I'm completely convinced my son avoided a broken leg thanks to Monolit. He was born in 2008, but a big, strong lad came in far too late in a challenge and hit him full force on the shin. I was sure it had gone really badly. My son got up, straightened his sock and played on. All the parents were as surprised as I was that it went so well 😃
After ordering, before use
I just bought mine! Looking forward to playing with them.

Comment and question
Really interesting shin guards! Are there plans to make smaller shin guards for children under 11?

Old questions and answers, with dates. Prices, delivery times and size advice in them do not apply today. Monolit comes in 12, 14 and 19 cm, and all sizes fit all ages.
Reply from Monolit
I'd go for the “14”. Best regards Peter
Customer question
Hi! I have a 12-year-old who plays football and really wants Monolit shin guards, but I'm not sure which size he needs. He is 150 cm tall. Is Monolit 14 or Monolit 19 best for him?
Reply from Monolit
Hi, The fit around the leg is the same on our guards. Only the length and protected area differ. Many of our younger players seem to prefer the slightly longer guards. You can of course exchange them if your son turns out not to be happy.
Customer question
Hi, Which size do you recommend for a 10-year-old boy? He is about 146 cm tall.
Reply from Monolit
Hi, The guards are 6 to 8 cm wide, 6 cm in the middle and 8 cm at the top.
Customer question
How wide are the 14 shin guards?
Reply from Monolit
Hi, No, no holders are included. Normally you don't need holders, because the guards usually sit well on the leg as long as the sock is reasonably tight.
Customer question
Hi. Do the guards come with a shin guard holder?
Reply from Monolit
It normally takes 2 to 3 days.
Customer question
How long does it take to get them if you order on a Monday?

Customer question
How much does the shin guard weigh? My mum wants to know.
Reply from Monolit
Hi, We expect to have new guards ready for delivery at the end of next week.
Customer question
Hi! I see they're out of stock! When are new ones coming?
Reply from Monolit
Hi, The guards are for young people and adults. We currently have one size that fits from about 13 years and up. Thanks to the unique, patented design, the guards fit a wide range of legs.
Customer question
Are they only for children, or can someone around 20 use them?
Reply from Monolit
Hi, They usually fit from about 12 to 13 and up, but it can vary a little. You can always return them if they don't fit, as long as you haven't trained or played a match in them. Trying them on at home is of course fine.
Customer question
Do they fit 13 or 14-year-olds?
Reply from Monolit
Absolutely. If you change your mind and you haven't used the guards in a match or training, only tried them on, just get in touch and you'll get a return label.
Customer question
If you don't like the shin guards, can you send them back and get your money back?
Reply from Monolit
Absolutely. If you change your mind, just get in touch and you'll get a return label.

Dieter Bergmann is a retired airline captain who builds motorcycles in his garage in his spare time. When his son Oskar, a youth elite footballer, got eczema from ordinary shin guards, Dieter brought his knowledge of composites to the pitch.
