Description
The LEKI Shin Guard Worldcup Pro is a professional alpine racing shin guard designed to protect against the impact of FIS-approved slalom gates. Built to World Cup specification, it combines a durable high-impact plastic shell with ergonomic shaping and secure strap fastening for a stable, confident fit at race speed.
At 40cm in length, the Worldcup Pro delivers full shin coverage. It meets the UNI EN 1621-1 impact protection standard and is compliant with EU PPE Regulation 2016/425 (Category II) — certified protection to a defined safety benchmark. Colour: black.
Designed for adult racers, unisex fit. Sold as a pair. Replacement straps are available separately — see Leki Shin Guard Straps 45cm and 40cm.
Why it matters on the mountain
- Slalom gate poles strike the shin at force — a high-impact plastic shell absorbs and deflects that energy, protecting bone and tissue on every run.
- At 40cm, the Worldcup Pro covers the full shin length — gate strikes land at different heights depending on line and gate set; full coverage removes that variable.
- Secure strap fastening keeps the guard locked in position under repeated impact and lateral movement — it stays where it needs to be through the course.
- UNI EN 1621-1 certification and EU PPE Regulation 2016/425 Category II compliance means the protection level has been independently verified — not just claimed.

HIGHLIGHTS
World Cup specification ▼
The Worldcup Pro sits at the top of the LEKI shin guard range for adult racers. Where the Standard guard is built for recreational and club-level use, the Worldcup Pro is developed to the demands of race training and competition — stiffer shell, closer ergonomic fit, and certified to the EN 1621-1 impact protection standard. LEKI also produces the Worldcup Carbon for podium-level athletes and the Worldcup Pro Junior for younger racers.
Certified impact protection ▼
The Worldcup Pro meets UNI EN 1621-1 — the European standard for impact protection in motorsport and skiing applications — and carries EU PPE Regulation 2016/425 Category II certification. Category II covers protective equipment designed to guard against serious but not life-threatening risks; this classification requires independent testing and ongoing conformity checks. That certification means the protection level is verified, not stated.
40cm coverage and fit ▼
At 40cm, the Worldcup Pro covers from below the knee to the ankle — the full impact zone for slalom gate contact. The shell is ergonomically shaped to follow the contour of the shin and secured with straps that hold it against the leg. Replacement straps are available separately in 40cm and 45cm variants to account for different leg circumferences and boot heights.
