Tuff Shins - Plastic Snake Leggings, Black (Old version was Olive Green) - one size

Sometimes the best solutions are the simplest, and whoever designed this product must have had that in mind. I like the one-piece lightweight (but durable) plastic construction - very easy to put on and take off and no danger of losing a part or anything ripping or tearing. They cover very well and when I have them on I don't even think about them, they are so lightweight that you forget you're wearing them. As others have said I would not recommend wearing them with shorts (on bare skin), but when worn over pants they are quite comfortable. They probably make my legs sweat, but they would sweat anyway and I'd much rather have damp legs than have a rattlesnake bite. Another benefit that I had not thought about - they provide excellent protection from flying debris, rocks, etc. when weed-eating or mowing. For the money they are unbeatable and I highly recommend.

Love them. Just need a small modification at the back because they dig in slightly to the back of my knee. Other than a little trimming they are ideal. Only product I had to pay extra shipping on because of fedex though

Sent as a gift, the person has not travelled to the rainforest or tested against a bite.

My husband loves these shin guards. He wears them when he uses the chain saw or an ax. Well made and comfortable to wear.

Although I haven't used these very much so far, I think this is a worthwhile product, and just what I was looking for at a decent price. I needed snake protection for hiking, but they will be helpful when weed whacking, too. I'm going to try them on my motorcycle, because I was also looking for additional protection there. Of course they will probably be a little warm in the summer, and being a single hard piece for each leg doesn't allow as much movement in upper or lower areas, but after wearing them for a while, it is tolerable. For long hikes, it would be best to wear them over pants or long socks. You should probably hike in long pants, anyway. The overlapping on the leg makes an easy-on, easy-off, operation. Just open them up and snap them on. And I also like the way they overlap close to the arch of my sneakers/shoes/boots. I am average male size, and I probably won't need further adjustments or trimmings around the yard. Update: I made a mistake of not wearing these on a neighborhood walk 6 months ago and got a severe dog bite. If I had these on, I would have been safer. I have now used these on walks, hiking trails, bicycling, motorbiking, and yard trimmimg. Easy on and off. Still in new condition. They are tough! Expensive, but paying for the cost. Among best money I have spent.
