About Ski Angel Shin and Leg Protector Ski angel is a thin pad of friction reducing gel. When placed under the sock ski angel prevents ‘shin bite’ and bruising caused by your shin rubbing against the boot’s inner lining.
DETAILS
Bruised and aching shins are a fact of boots, especially stiff winter and ski boots. This is because the intensive action creates considerable friction upon the Anterior Crest of the lower Tibia bone. This unusual crest runs almost the entire length of the Tibia and has virtually no subcutaneous protection which is why bruising so readily occurs.
Despite the extensive padding offered on the modern boots, this fails to solve the problem. The reason being that the padding is attached to the boot so the friction pressure zone is still at the skin surface interface with the boot
Ski Angel is a sheet of bonded gel which when placed over the projecting tibial crest effectively removes the friction zone 2mm outwards and away from the skin surface.
The new shear force area now happens between the outer area of the Ski Angel and the boot.
Ski Angel composition allows for extremes of shear force with its unique elasticity.
