Reddit mentions: The best soccerplayer equipment

Right now I've got the Reusch Receptor D1s. They are good if the field you play on is turf or if you ever play indoors. The foam is rather durable and I've had no issues with it getting torn up by artificial turf. I've got fairly weak wrists/hands from an injury when I was a kid and the wrist straps give great support. These do include finger-saves that you can not remove however, good for me not so much for others.

I've had other Reusch gloves in the past and loved all of them, I'd recommend trying to find a place to try them on before purchasing if possible (especially ones with finger saves) as the cut is different than other brand of gloves I've had like Nike or Adidas.

Good luck in your search!

Yeah there are

I have a pair of these in green (they're pretty comfortable) and they protect pretty well. They have a pad on the bone in the ankle and it's pretty nice I got mine from Dick's for about 10 dollars

I think you should get this LEGO Lone Ranger set because who doesn't like the Lone Ranger. He's a vigilante and he might as well be a super hero! I really need new goalie gloves for soccer. I would really like these new gloves because soccer is my whole life, and Goalie is the position I play. My old gloves are ripped and worn down and I very much need a new pair for practice and for tryouts, and I would really appreciate it, my old gloves make my hands feel bunnicula!

Get some shinguards like they use in soccer in the mean time, haha. Ones like these slip in and out of socks easily, so they might make a good addition to your lifting equipment

This is what I got:http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004QVMB24

They work great, good coverage and not bad in the comfort area. I have taken a few falls in them and have no marks on me!

A couple of friends use these for deadlifts

Since I typically do deadlifts the same day as squats, I'll have my rehband knee sleeves already on so I'll just slip them down just below my knees. Cleaning meat/blood off a barbell in a big public gym is no fun.

Long socks don't really help either

I didn't intend to hit my shin that hard but the york barbells our gym use have super sharp/deep grippy parts.

I'm a fan of shin skins made by rock tape. They are thinker than socks, and the way I clamp the rope I have burned mine up. If I was just wearing long socks, I would still have rope burns. But that is a personal preference and a technique thing with me.

These aren't the exact one I have, mine just slip over my calves. I think they've improved the design with these and are better intended for this purpose over a knee sleeve

Reusch hands down.

Had a pair of red and white finger savers when I used to play. Best gloves I have ever owned. Every pair of Adidas gloves I owned usually wore out within a year.

Exact pair of gloves.

I use Storelli BodyShield shin guard holders (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008QA6ZWS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_66GwDbBQ8TW9V) to hold Nike Mercurial Lite guards. The Storelli holders give me outside of ankle and leg padding when diving and sliding on some of the rocky and rough pitches I play on, while still staying pretty slim and out of the way. My only complaint is the heel strap part can get rolled over itself if I'm not careful getting my socks over them. If I had nicer pitches in my area I would probably just use standard sleeves with my guards.

I just started a few games ago with my new pair. Pour some water over the palms and clap a few times. Using these, pretty happy with them so far for a cheap pair.

It has been waaay easier to catch the ball and control rebounds, not sure how much is the water and how much was my old gloves being terrible.

I've started doing a lot of deadlifts again, and ordered a pair of these:

Rocktape Rock Guards, Black, Large https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HEP5XF6?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Wished I'd ordered these years ago; they work better than I dared hope

$10 pair of soccer shin guards is a life save for stuff like that. This is what I use.

A possible "close fit" option

Leg Guards

All the other stuff I can find is the real deal($600 + tactical ballistic armor lol)

If all else fails, what are you skills with a sewing machine? Those look like nylon and poly with Styrofoam inserts could turn out pretty good but would just take a while to make

Edit: Forearm possibly?

Yeah, the wife likes to use S hook...She gets rb so bad it draws blood.

These are kinda cool....https://www.amazon.com/Rocktape-Protection-Compression-Breathable-RockGuards/dp/B012D01ULM

I'm happy with my G-Forms.
These: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KWHU8TY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

If your pal is looking for one I strongly recommend this one http://www.amazon.com/Kwik-Goal-Adult-Compression-Sleeves/dp/B009IRCR5M/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1453350735&sr=8-1&keywords=soccer+compression+shinguard+sleeve

These badboys are well worth it. this is the second pair I order.

Are those child size soccer shin guards as climber pads??

why yes they are:

Thanks for the tip! Here's a link I found if anyone follows: $29 - G-Form shin guards

I've never had experience with strapless shin guards, but do you think wrapping THESE STRAPS over would work just as well as socks over it?

I just go to Dick's and get whichever ones they have that look like this: https://www.amazon.com/adidas-Performance-Energy-Legend-Medium/dp/B01MQUH2I4/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1505224049&sr=8-11&keywords=shin+guard+adult

I like the ones that go under my heels because they have little hard discs on the ankle bones. Plus I don't have to worry about wearing a particular sock to keep them on.

These for light riding.

These for heavier riding.
