Choosing the protective
The Bastion is for strikers logging consistent rounds and mixed-standup athletes who want dependable shin and ankle coverage without bulk. It suits pad work, bag sessions, and partner drilling in MMA and Muay Thai classes. The soft-shell profile moves with checks, returns, and pivots, keeping technique sharp while reducing bone-on-bone impact. For gyms that run high-rep rounds and footwork-heavy drills, this guard keeps protection up without getting in the way.
Unisex sizing in S–XL covers teens through adults. The cut is straightforward and balanced; start with your normal shin guard size. Between sizes, think calf circumference and desired drop over the ankle. A larger size increases wrap and coverage, while a smaller size trims bulk for faster movement. Measure around the widest part of the calf and from the ankle bone to just below the knee to gauge how each size will sit.
Soft-shell PU construction keeps weight down and stays pliable during rounds, so checks and kicks aren’t fighting a stiff frame. The PU outer shrugs off scuffs from bags and pads and wipes clean fast after class. Integrated ankle coverage reduces exposed gaps when turning over the hip or working angles. The build is aimed at repeat-use stand-up training where reliable protection and a flexible feel matter more than a hard, rigid shell.
After training, wipe the surface and let the guards air dry fully in a ventilated space. Use mild soap when needed, and avoid heaters or direct sun to protect the materials. With simple care, they handle regular pad and bag cycles well. In the Apollo lineup, Bastion is the soft-shell, daily-work pick with shin-to-ankle coverage. Aegis, Phalanx, and Rampart sit alongside it for athletes who prefer different balances of structure, weight, or coverage detail.
