shintronics are gel sleeve that fit around your shin on order to combat shin bang by providing cushion. i don't know whats up with them, but manoove (the makers of the product), arent an american company. However, there is the company Bandit forming that is making something like them, should be out soon I think.

my friend who spiral fractured his shin in two places last year used the soft fabric of his old broken foot boot liner and put them underneath skintight under armor, he says they are the cheapest way to eliminate shinbang ENTIRELY

I used them a couple of years ago for a full season and thought they helped. The thing is they cannot prevent shin bang from coming, since it happens when you land in backseat, but they ease the pain and allow you to ski when it would normally hurt too much from your shin bang.

I dont use them anymore and fortunately dont suffer too much from shin problems anymore. I dont land too much in backseat anymore which is the only real solution.
And I started using Conformable linings which are foam fitted to your foot. They seem to help too, but I guess it is individual what works.... Some shave their shins, some use two pair of thick socks....

I would buy some for sure if they were available.  I wouldn't care if they were 200 dollars.  For now I just wrap my shins in athletic tape.
