Ski Angels - They Work!!!

Having suffered for many years from sore shins from leaning forward in boots (as instructed by many an Instructor) I suffered excruitiating pain and then discovered it is known as 'shin bite' caused by friction (so no wonder it is sore!) This year I invested in a pair of Ski Angels (bought from the Snowdome at Tamworth or you can get them online or from Ellis Brigham) AND THEY WORK!!! No more red and sore shins at the end of the day, and no days lost skiing thanks to two small pieces of foam with a gel attached. Cost about £20 and well worth the investment. You can hand wash them afterwards and use again next time.

If you have suffered this (and I mean suffer) then £20 is worth spending (it is only a round of drinks!!?) and you will have a happy week of yodelling around the slopes!

Just thought it was worth sharing now I am back from Adelboden!

:thumbup:

I used them last year with hire boots and got an allergic reaction. :( They did stop the rubbing but I ended up with a rash where the gels had been.

This year I had my own boots and didn't use the gels and had no rubbing at all despite walking for 2 hours after my fall prevented me skiing home.

I got bad bruising on the front of my (ridiculously well) fitted boots. Shaved my shins=problem solved.
