How much protection do they have for the shine? We need them to stop injuries during working and also compression.

They aren't like soccer shin guards. These are compression sleeves which are more like strong socks. They aren't going to offer any sort of protection. You'll need to look for something more specialty for whatever you are doing or possibly a product like shin guards for soccer as an alternative. These are strictly well made compression socks to help with blood flow and not for protection. The assist in blood flow helps with recovery which has helped my calf cramps. Some sleeves are lycra and don't really compress. These are a strong and breathable woven material that gives you graduated compression from the ankle up over the calf.

They are very large for the knees so they would help to avoid that area from being hurt. They will help to keep the elbow and knees covered...

I recommend these to friends and coworkers for shin-splints. The regular compression sleeves helped to fix mine. The ultra compression sleeves would be my choice if I were running a marathon, stepping up my run distance by several miles, or only if the regular sleeves do nothing. Always try the regular compression sleeves first. They are excellent.

I think it would help a lot. I find it also helps the impact on your joints as well. Very shock absorbing

I would say yes, they protect from gasoline. I use them to protect my hands from hot water with strong soap.

Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. You can also wear gloves and long sleeves.

Not sure since they have graduated compression. There is more in the foot and ankle.

Melissa- yes, these are life savers. I have both the elbow and knee guards in this brand and won't ride without them. I would think if they are good enough for mountain biking falls, they'd be excellent for ice skating, yet low profile enough for wearing under jeans, long pants etc.. (as skateboarders, snowboarders, and bmx riders like to wear underneath. I've wiped out a couple times wearing them and came out totally ding/pain free both times. The padding works very well. I also have the Fox knee guards for more extreme / aggressive downhill riding, but they are bulkier with a hard knee cap protector and more padding on the sides (can't wear them under jeans, only outside). Both have great motion range BTW. Both the Fox and these Triple Eights, you hardly know they are on, they are that comfortable. Not restrictive at all, and safe.

They should have enough power to knock the targets down however, steel balls and BBs will ricochet off steel targets in unpredictable ways. You would really want eye protection and nothing breakable around.

That is why I bought them but then started working 6 days a week and haven't used them regularly. When you have them on, your arms really sweat underneath them. I feel they will would work fine if you use them every day. I intend to test that theory starting next month!

You don't need to put them on but it is probably safer in case there is an accident and someone rolls off..

While the gloves are thick, I can't say that they would protect your hands from bruises from being bumped. I believe they would cushion the bump but I can't say to what degree. I really like the way they not only keep my hands warm, but they also help with arthritic pain. I personally recommend them for the stiff joints and aches of arthritis. I hope this helps.

They are designed to protect your eyes from blow back, etc. but they ARE NOT bullet proof. I am not a safety expert, but I highly recommend you have some kind of backstop that will absorb the rounds so they do not ricochet back at you. Hopefully a BB will have spent much of the original energy, but I would not want to be hit by any ricochet. Be careful!

I use them for muscle injuries works very well in my offices ... need to get more asap

They will help, but are maybe not thick enough for serious thermal protection. Excellent, though, for keeping road-salt and ice from paws. 3rd winter, 2nd pair.

No, just enough to protect your ear from damage. You can hear the blast quite clearly but not painfully. You can also hear someone talking if they are close to you.

I really think so. They are great for "light" as they are made for welding. I was walking down Vegas Blvd. and got a lot of responses. The foam padding needs some 'buffering'. Maybe get some mole skin at the first aid station at your local store. I got the, for 'looks'. They are about the size of a cola can.
