AVOID THESE SHIN PADS SLEEVES 😤

I bought these viral sleeve shin pads and they didn't even survive half a season… Let me take you back. Start of last season, my old pads were done and I needed a fresh pair. My whole feed was full of these viral sleeve shin pads, so I figured they had to be worth it. I went for one of the cheaper pairs from a certain brand I won't even name, because they're not getting free advertising out of me. First red flag, the shipping took absolutely ages. Nearly a month before they even turned up. And when they finally arrived, I wasn't impressed. Straight out the packaging they felt cheap and flimsy. But I'd paid for them, so I gave them a go. Honestly? I wasn't sure at first. I tried them on and thought, you know what, these are fine. Bit basic, but they did the job. No complaints at first. That was fine for a bit. Then, about two months in, it all started going wrong. The compression went first. The sleeve stretched out and barely gripped my leg anymore. Then the stitching started coming loose. And then they started to stink. So I washed them. By hand, cold water, nothing harsh. But even that was too much. The padding broke into bits inside and bunched up into a lump. I just laughed to be honest, what else can you do? Barely two months and they were already bin material. At that point I figured the whole sleeve thing was a scam. But I still couldn't stand the idea of strapping bricks to my legs again. So I stopped being cheap and got the ones from Flair. Everyone talks about them. They had the best reviews, so I gave them a go. Right away I could feel the difference. Out of the box they felt like proper gear, thick and solid and actually well made. I put them on and instantly it felt right. Held my leg firm, nothing moving around. First game in them and I forgot I was even wearing them. No sliding, no fixing them. They just did their job. That was months ago now. I've worn them every week since, washed them loads, and they haven't changed one bit. What I'm trying to say is, if you're eyeing the sleeve shin pads, don't try saving on cheap knock-offs like I did. It's not worth the hassle. Get the proper Flair ones from the start. Better made, last for ages, and you only buy them once. And if you're worried about spending a bit more, they come with a 30-day money-back guarantee, so there's nothing to lose. Honestly, it's the last pair of shin pads you'll need to buy for a long time. Link's below. Save yourself the money and the hassle I went through.
