the fairtex ones are leather? Didn't catch that. The ones I have are some kind of foam. They're not as protective, but I prefer them to leather shinguards, personally.

yeah they are really durable leather, hence the high cost. the straps are also well made and stay on better/straighter then most other brands.

I'm in Boston, but I would just recommend buying some off of MMAMuscle.com or from combat sports international.

I'll bet most schools will sell them right there. Ours does (Sityodtong, Somerville). Which MT school are you starting at?

they sell twins gear over at sityodtong if i recall, thats good stuff too.

some of the bigger gyms sell gear... i know there are some programs around that don't carry stuff though.
