Are the RDX T15 Noir shin guards better for MMA or Muay Thai?

The T15 Noir Shin Instep Guards are optimised for MMA use — the instep-focused design and dual strap system allow more ankle mobility for ground transitions and takedown defence compared to full-back Muay Thai guards. They still provide solid shin and instep protection for kickboxing and Muay Thai striking work, but fighters who spar heavily in Muay Thai with full low-kick exchanges may prefer the Hayabusa T3 Full Back Shin Guards for the additional calf coverage.

How do I choose the right size?

The T15 Noir is sized S through XL by body weight and shin circumference. S suits fighters under 150 lbs; M suits 150–175 lbs; L suits 175–200 lbs; XL suits 200 lbs and above. When between sizes, go up for more comfortable coverage over the shin.

How do I care for the T15 Noir shin guards?

After every session, wipe down the interior and exterior with an antibacterial wipe and allow to air-dry fully before storing. Never leave shin guards in a sealed bag while damp. Place a glove deodorizer inside each guard between sessions to absorb residual moisture and control odour. Avoid machine washing or soaking in water, which can delaminate the foam padding.

Are these guards suitable for competition?

The T15 Noir are high-quality training shin guards. For IMMAF or WAKO-sanctioned competition, check whether your specific event requires competition-approved guards. RDX produces IMMAF-approved and WAKO-approved models separately if you need competition-certified protection.
