I am tired of bleeding all over the bars at my gym in Toronto during my deadlift sessions. My shins are a mess of scars and fresh scrapes and it is starting to get painful. I am looking for the best shin guards that are thin enough not to interfere with the bar path but thick enough to provide protection.

I have seen some people wearing long socks but they do not seem to do much against a sharp knurling. I have also looked at the dedicated neoprene shin guards from brands like SBD and RockTape. I want something that stays in place and does not slide down when I am sweating.

What do you guys use to protect your shins? I do not want to wear sweatpants in the summer because it gets too hot in the gym. If you have a specific brand of shin guards that you love please let me know so I can save my skin.
