The Double-Lock Shinplex™ sleeve is how most players finish a custom-fit setup. After you mould the shin guard, the sleeve holds the pad against the tibia so it does not rotate when you sprint, plant, or block. Two lock bands — one above the calf flare and one below — stop the classic mid-match slide that tape only delays.

Wear it over the moulded guard, under or with your match sock depending on league rules and how you like the sock to sit. Sizes S/M and M/L both take Max and Aero Shinplex pads. Pick the sleeve from calf circumference, not from pad size. The knit is compression-grade so the pad stays quiet on the shin without cutting circulation at the ankle.

If you already mould Shinplex guards and still feel them wander in the last twenty minutes, the sleeve is the missing piece — not a thicker pad. Pair with Shinplex™ Mouldable Shin Guards. Rated 4.94★. Free UK shipping over £45.

Wash cold and air-dry. Do not tumble. Replace when the lock bands lose snap, usually after a heavy season of two games a week. The sleeve is not a shin pad and is not a medical device; it is kit hardware for keeping a moulded guard where you put it.
