The shin guards were delivered in a brown cardboard shipping bag.
Inside was attractively designed product packaging that was perfectly matched to the size of the shin guards.
The scope of delivery is limited to the two shin guards, which is completely sufficient as the application is self-explanatory and therefore no instructions are required.
One particularly positive aspect to emphasise is that no environmentally harmful packaging materials, such as plastic, have been used.

The shin guards for football have passed a comprehensive practical test.
When putting them on, it is immediately noticeable that they are well adapted to the anatomical shape of the lower leg.They are easy to put on and are also very comfortable to wear.
In terms of flexibility and freedom of movement, the pads sit securely on the leg and adapt well to movement.You never get the impression that the leg’s freedom of movement is restricted.
Light impacts are effectively absorbed by the product , and during the game it feels as if thefeels as if the shin guards are well padded and can optimally absorb pressure.
The Velcro fastening straps are stable and can be individually adjusted to the size of the leg or calf circumference.Even after repeated use , the product remains odourless, which indicates an antiperspirant effect.

At the time of testing, the product had not been listed on Amazon for long enough. Therefore, the existing reviews do not sufficiently reflect the advantages and disadvantages of the product, so this point is neglected in the evaluation .
Prices of up to €17.99 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very cheap products are available from as little as €13.24 . The shin guards for football from Lorymachy are therefore currently in the upper price segment with a price of €16.99. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
