Sandee, Twins or other shin guards?

[sirving]

I need to get some new shin guards and want to upgrade to a pair of dedicated thai ones.

Im thinking of either the Sandee ones

Or the Twins ones

Which ones are best? doesnt look like much difference apart from the price. Or can anyone recommend any other ones?

from what I understand twins and sandee are of similair quality

I've used gloves by both, and the only difference was the label

I'd go with the sandee ones, simply because they cost less

trust me its the same stuff just with a different label and sandee is cheaper simply because the name has not been around as long ~ buy Sandee

[dunny]

sandee is the 2nd oldest brand in thailand after windy, they just dont do any marketing

[AdamC]

Yeah they have been around longer than Twins

Although i am head of marketing Dunny

[dunny]

oh yeah, i meant didnt

we all know that but in the UK ~ Twins , Windy and even Fairtex have bigger names - I have big advertising posters in the shop for Sandee and customers still ask what is this brand.

Hey CKA, why are you closing your website?

Hey Sirving, take a look at Boon's spinpads.

Over the years ive had them all. Sandee, windy, fairtex, MTG.. non as comfortable as the new Boon shinpad. Maybe not as well known as the other brands but has a good rep within the hardcore muaythai enthusiasts.

Hi Sirving

we are dropping it as it costs to the pay per click and other stuff so decided that the money can be put into more choice of products and offering better discounts.

As we get 99% of our custom at the shop dont see the point having a website and trying to compete with every one else.

we have also dropped a lot of the competition sponsorship we were doing, I dont see the point of giving a promotor £ 200 for a table when I can give a few fighters " Free " kit with my name on ~ thats great advertising for me and I hope it helps the fighter and its not lining the promotors pockets.
