The soccer shin guard comparison nobody asked for, but this is my life now. $10 ones were some random ones we picked up last min, they are trash, never get ones that velcro in the back, it makes their skin rash, and is itchy. $35 ones are great, light weight and comfy, but SO difficult to get on and off (which is a priority for me) $12 ones are great! Easy enough for my 5 year old to put on himself, no rash.
