Bike Pant Protector - Fully Protects Cyclist's Pants from Grease and Chain - Better Than Straps and Clips - Comfortable, Easy On/Off (1 Unit)

What I liked * Easy to use: Simple on/off; the Velcro adjustment is quick and intuitive. * Full coverage: Shields the entire calf from chain rub. * Rock-solid hold: Strong Velcro straps—doesn’t slip or shift, even on sweaty rides. * Durable material: After multiple rides, the chain hasn’t damaged the neoprene. * Practical:** Does its job without fuss—good build quality. Bottom line Well-designed, secure, and tough. I liked it so much I purchased a second one.

OK, the Leg Shield is not going to win you style points. When wearing it, I get questions from coworkers and family -- another weapon to inadvertently (or not) embarrass your offspring. And I purchased the solid black version, so double the green/yellow version. That all said, it works as advertised. Superbly so, at that. I have used it for several months as part of commuting kit, through heat, cold, and rain. And it plain works to protect your pants from damage and grease. I consider it a safety device as much as a pants protector, as getting your pants caught in a chainring or crank can cause a loss of control (I've done it). Since wearing it, I have not had grease stains or catches occur, so it has definitely earned its place in my kit. The three Velcro tabs hold it firmly in place and it has ample coverage. Yes, it will wrinkle your pants if commuting in work trousers; my solution is to carry my work clothes in a pannier, as I never know what else I will encounter on the ride in to work. I wear it over dedicated nylon, quick dry pants (covering winter layer tights when cold) and it really keeps the thin, floating nylon from snagging. It will get sweaty, being neoprene and I wish it had some reflective patches on it (like the leg bands by the same company, which I use on my left leg), but is otherwise perfect. I considered the neon colored version, but decided to pass, since I am sure it would end up a dingy neon after some use. A tip to putting them on is to kneel down when fastening to your calves, that way it mirrors where your pants will be when peddling (also a good time to check your shoe laces, another point of danger with chain rings and cranks! Highly recommended.

If you're a bike commuter in colder climates, this Leg Shield is a must buy. I bought it not to protect my pants so much as to avoid having to keep rolling my pants up. I rolled my pants all summer/fall, but once it started getting colder, my ankles would freeze! Bought this thing and now I don't have to roll my pants at all because this covers the pant cuff so it doesn't get ripped up by the pedal crank/sprocket/cassette. I have between 5-15 minute commute and the pants only wrinkle marginally. This is very warm, so I'm not sure I'd want to wear it in warm weather, but for cold weather it cannot be beat. There's nothing on the market like it. Seems very durable, I have no concerns about it holding up for at least this whole winter season in daily use. I bought the black version and it looks exactly like the picture - no trickery there. Size wise, I have gigantic calves because I don't have a car and bike everywhere. I'm also "big-boned" and this fits fine with plenty of room to spare. It would also fit a smaller leg if you've got a more slender body than I have because the velcro bands cover the full width of the thing. Really a terrific/simple design through and through. Best $15 I've spent in a long time.

Satisfied with product. Price went up almost a dollar in a couple of months. Only one is provided as opposed to a pair.

I use this everyday to protect my pants and it works great.

I do a whole lot of cycling. And I am What you might call a MAMIL. Which stands for middle aged man in Lycra. But that’s a weekend thing, when I go out for bike rides of 50-100 miles. During the week, I try to commute by bike as often as possible. And I can’t show up to work in tight cycling shorts. It just might be awkward. It could be fine, but I don’t think so. So I commute in regular street clothes. Clothes that I might wear at work. But if you ride bikes- then you know that there is a large chain ring on the right side of the bike, positioned to grab ahold of a loose pant leg. And if it doesn’t chew holes right through it, it will certainly mark it up permanently with chain grease. Now I’ve tied my pant leg tightly to my lower leg with a reflective Velcro strap - designed to make cars aware of your presence, as well as to save your pants. But it doesn’t save you from the grease stains that you get from rubbing up against the chain ring. But this keg shield certainly does the trick. It’s amazing. Easy to put on and take off. I can’t tell you how many pairs of been save by using this thing, which makes it a fantastic value. Especially because you only need one. Although, because of my cyclists vanity- and need for symmetry, I’ve been thinking of buying one for my left leg. I wonder if a future version could have a reflective band on it. Or if it could simply be made in bright yellow? Great product

I try to save the rest of the world from having to look at me while in cycling pants – you’re welcome. However this endeavor has some challenges and one of those is the need to wear baggier styled clothing. I tried straps and my pants would just balloon out over the top and underside and still often come in contact with the chain. The leg shield has worked out great so far. It covers my pants through my entire pedal stroke and I don’t worry at all about chain grease, or worse getting my pants caught. The Velcro is plenty strong so it holds fast for the entire ride and the material is pliable enough that I can strap it to my leg tightly and barely notice that I have it on. I really have been very pleased with this product and recommend it highly.

just what i wanted, a comfortable leg wrap that works and is not in the way. also, it is of good quality

Da ich nicht nur in sportlicher Manier in einschlägigen Fahrradhosen unterwegs bin, sondern mitunter auch als gutgekleideter Gentleman auf zwei Rädern pendeln möchte, habe ich nach einer Lösung gesucht, die mir maximalen Schutz für die teuren oder auch weniger teuren Hosenbeine verspricht. In die engere Auswahl sind dabei der DEUTER PANTS PROTECTOR neo (nur in Schwarz) sowie der LEG SHIELD, entweder in Neongelb oder in Schwarz, gekommen - beides Qualitätsprodukte mit entsprechendem Preis. Letztendlich habe ich mich dann für den LEG SHIELD entschieden. Zum einen, weil hier gleich zwei sehr unterschiedliche Farben zur Auswahl standen. Tatsächlich ausschlagebend für mich war jedoch die ebenso elegante wie ergonomische Formgebung des Leg Shield. Er passt sich dem Unterschenkel perfekt an und drei Klettverschlüsse sorgen zudem für sehr guten Halt. Obzwar ich auch dem Deuter-Produkt nicht eine gewisse Qualität absprechen möchte, war mir schon nach dem Vergleich der beiden Produktfotos im Internet eindeutig klar, dass ich hier dem Leg Shield den Vorzug geben werde. Das Deuter-Produkt wirkt nämlich bereits nach der ersten eidetischen Anmutung recht klobig und hat auch nur einen einzigen großen Klett, der - allein logisch gedacht - keineswegs einen derart guten Sitz garantiert wie drei verteilte, anatomisch wohlpositionierte Klettverschlüsse. Farbmäßig habe ich mich übrigens für Neongelb entschieden, obgleich Schwarz sicher stilvoller gewesen wäre. Vor allem, wenn man in städtischen Ballungsräumen unterwegs sein möchte, ist die erhöhte Sichtbarkeit durch eine Signalfarbe das wesentlichere (Sicherheits-) Kriterium! Das Leg Shield-Produkt selbst wurde, obwohl ich es direkt vom Hersteller aus den USA bezogen habe, und zwar zu einem deutlich reduzierten Preis, übrigens in "Windeseile" angeliefert - nämlich innerhalb von vierzehn Tagen, sprich also keineswegs unter Ausnützung der maximalen Lieferfrist von vier Wochen! Der Mail-Kontakt mit dem US-Verkäufer war zudem von Anfang an sehr intensiv und kundenorientiert (Freilich nur dann, wenn man des Englischen mächtig genug ist, was heutzutage jedoch keine größeren Probleme bereiten dürfte). Ich habe das Produkt nach dem Erhalt sogleich anprobiert und es entspricht fürs Erste voll und ganz meinen Erwartungen. Die Hosenbeine sind jedenfalls über den gesamten Unterschenkel bestens vor Verschmutzungen geschützt und das weiche Material schmiegt sich regelrecht ans Bein an. Wie es sich allerdings bei nassen Wetterbedingungen verhält, habe ich noch nicht ausprobiert, denke allerdings, dass es auch hier keine Probleme geben dürfte. EINZIGER KRITIKPUNKT: Den Leg Shield kann man leider nicht in der Hosentasche verstauen, und man sollte ihn aus Gründen der Haltbarkeit auch nicht einfach zusammenknüllen. Ein echter Fahrrad-Commuter hat jedoch ohnehin immer seinen Rucksack, die fahrradgerechte Aktentasche oder wenigstens den Hinterradkorb dabei, dann gibt es überhaupt kein Problem! Ladies sind den Herren der Schöpfung hier ohnedies ständig einen Schritt voraus, sofern sie nämlich Damentaschen (selbstverständlich ebenso fahrradtauglich) mit sich führen. :-)

I bought two of these leg shields and they work beautifully to protect one's pants from bicycle chain grease, and as a type of gaiter to prevent snow from entering the top of a low boot. I use them for snowshoeing.

Ok, so I've had some funny looks as I've walked into work wearing this but it is great. I no longer have had my trousers getting eaten in my chain, no longer worried I'm damaging my chain/gears/ and no more black grease marks on my trousers either. The reflective strips show up well so hopefully increases my visibility and safety too. Multiple wins. The grease really shows on this so I know exactly how much grease I've protecting my trousers from. I've washed this leg shield by hand once and am pleased that the grease came off easily and the leg shield didn't fall apart at all. Delivery took a little longer than planned and the seller did contact me to apologise and explained. Seemed fair enough and I wasn't in a rush. There isn't anything else so far on the market like this and I think it's better than tucking your trousers into your socks or using clips. The price is a little steeper than I'd expect and once a couple of vendors/suppliers catch onto this product, competition may force the price down a tad. You only need one as the chain is on one side of the bike and only the leg on that side needs the shield. Product Description The Leg Shield is the perfect solution for protecting your right trouser leg from hard-to-clean grease stains and preventing trousers from getting jammed in the bike gears. With the existing trouser straps & clips, grease gets on your trousers and they can slip down or come apart. With the Leg Shield you don't need to worry about ruining your trousers and can have a safe and enjoyable ride. It's great for bike commuters and recumbent riders.

Nachdem ich die üblichen Hosenklammern und -klemmen immer wieder verloren und verlegt habe oder sie schnell zerbrochen sind habe ich mir dieses Leg Schield gekauft. Ich bin damit vollkommen zufrieden, außer dem Schutz vor der Kette bietet es auch Schutz vor Spritzwasser von unten und leichterem Regen, ist aber im Gegensatz zu Gamaschen schneller und einfach anzuziehen, da man es nicht über den Schuh ziehen muss. Leider gibt es sie nicht im Doppelpack für beide Beine, aber ich bestelle mit nun auch eines für das linke Beim als Regenschutz.

Muy práctico, buena calidad, sencillo de poner, poco peso con lo que no es complicado llevarlo en mochila para cuando no se utilize.
