Overview of the Damascus Hard Shell Knee/Shin Guards | DSG100
Built for the front line of crowd control
When a disturbance turns physical, your knees and shins take the hits from thrown objects, kicks, and hard contact. The Damascus Hard Shell Knee/Shin Guards (DSG100) give law enforcement, corrections officers, and military teams rugged lower-leg protection that stays put when things get chaotic. Part of the Damascus Gear Imperial line, these paired guards combine a domed non-slip knee cap with a ribbed hard-shell shin plate and a removable foot guard for coverage from knee to instep.
Protection that stays in place
The dull black shin plates carry a Trion non-slip knee cap up top and multiple adjustable elastic straps with hook-and-loop closures that lock the fit across different leg sizes. A padded nylon inner liner cushions each blow, while the matte finish keeps you from reflecting light at the wrong moment. The Damascus "D" is embossed on the knee cuff, and each guard carries an interior name tag so your gear comes back to you. Sold as a pair, the DSG100 is ready for riot lines, cell extractions, and hard training days.
Key Features
-
Trion Non-Slip Knee Cap: A domed hard-shell cap grips the knee and resists sliding during lunges, kneeling, and quick movement.
-
Hard-Shell Polyethylene Shin Plates: Ribbed, impact-resistant plates deflect thrown debris and blunt strikes, finished in a dull black that limits glare.
-
Removable Foot Guard: Adjustable instep plates extend coverage over the top of the foot and lift off when you do not need them.
-
Reinforced Foam-Padded Nylon Liner: Heavy-duty inner leg support cushions impacts and adds comfort through long shifts.
-
DuPont Ultra Cordura Nylon Shell: High-tenacity, air-textured Cordura nylon stands up to abrasion in rough conditions.
-
Adjustable Strap System: Multiple elastic straps with hook-and-loop closures fit a wide range of leg girths and keep the guards from shifting.
-
Interior Name Tags: Built-in identification tags help you track your gear in a shared locker or team cage.
-
Washable and Sold in Pairs: Each order includes a left and right guard, and the set can be cleaned when the job gets messy.

Compatibility
The DSG100 is designed to be worn over uniform trousers or tactical pants by professionals working riot lines and disturbance-control assignments. WCUniforms offers two sizes, Medium/Large and XL, sized by shin-plate length and secured with adjustable straps that fit a range of leg girths. Damascus also makes a Small (8-inch shin plate), which WCUniforms does not currently stock; if you have a slimmer or shorter lower leg, the Medium/Large straps still cinch down, though the plate runs longer.
These guards perform best in crowd control, cell extractions, training, and other high-impact ground work. The instep foot guard is removable so you can match different footwear or drop weight when you need to move faster. One important limit: the DSG100 defends against blunt impact and thrown debris. It is not ballistic or stab-resistant armor and does not stop bullets or edged weapons.
Intended Users
- Law enforcement officers on riot lines and crowd-control assignments rely on the DSG100 to shield the knee and shin from thrown objects and kicks.
- Corrections officers wear these guards during cell extractions and facility disturbances where close contact is likely.
- Military and National Guard personnel assigned to civil-disturbance response use them for durable lower-leg coverage.
- Tactical and SWAT teams add them to training and callouts that involve kneeling, breaching, and hard ground work.
What's Included
- One pair of Damascus DSG100 Hard Shell Knee/Shin Guards (one left, one right).
- Each guard features a Trion non-slip knee cap, a ribbed polyethylene shin plate, a removable foot guard, a foam-padded nylon inner liner, adjustable elastic straps with hook-and-loop closures, and an interior name tag.
- No additional pads, liners, or fasteners are required for use; nothing separate needs to be purchased to wear the guards.
