XCORE IDENTITY | The Carbon Shield

Aerospace-Grade Carbon Construction

Each XCORE IDENTITY Shin Shield is formed from Toray TORAYCA™ aerospace-grade carbon fibre, delivering exceptional impact resistance with an ultra-light profile — starting from just 18 grams (size dependent). The carbon structure is engineered to absorb and deflect force while remaining rigid and uncompromising under play.

Diamond Lacquer Protection

A clear Diamond Lacquer finish is applied to seal and protect the carbon surface. This advanced coating enhances scratch resistance, preserves the depth of the carbon weave, and delivers a refined, high-gloss finish.

While the surface may show light cosmetic marks over time — as with any elite carbon product — the lacquer significantly reduces wear and ensures the shield retains its premium appearance far longer than uncoated alternatives.

Permanent Structural Integrity

Cosmetic wear does not affect performance. The carbon structure is engineered to remain intact, maintaining its protective properties match after match. These shields are built to perform — not to degrade.

Embedded Identity Engineering

Personalisation is precision-embedded, not applied as decoration. Names, numbers, and crests are permanently integrated into the carbon finish, ensuring your identity becomes part of the shield itself — durable, precise, and lasting.

Antimicrobial EVA Comfort Layer

The inner EVA foam liner features antimicrobial properties to help resist odour-causing bacteria and moisture build-up. This keeps the shields feeling fresher for longer while delivering cushioned comfort and stability against the leg during play.

Featherlight Performance Balance

Every curve, layer, and gram is intentional — combining maximum protection, minimal weight, and long-term durability without compromise.

Everyday Use

XCORE IDENTITY Carbon Shin Shields are designed for match play and high-intensity training. Built from aerospace-grade carbon fibre, they deliver elite protection in an ultra-light form while maintaining a low-profile, performance-focused fit.

Wearing & Fit

Wear under socks or shin sleeves, positioned centrally on the shin for optimal coverage.

Compatible with XCORE SPORT Shin Sleeves, Grip Socks, and Shin Guard Straps for secure, stable performance.

Ensure shields are seated firmly without excessive movement before play.
