Tried to order a second pair and have gotten no response from the company. Like many others recently they took the money and never sent the product. If you are able to get these shin guards they are fantastic! They are light weight and actually saved my son’s leg from a nasty hit. Worth the money if you can get them, but do not buy them right now!

I've purchased several pairs of their shin guards in the past without issue. But my order from July 26th has not been delivered and I get no response from customer service. Stay away from this company!

Order was never received and it has been 3 months. This company has never responded to any messages has no other contact information listed. Would not recommend.

I placed an order for shin guards in May. Received an order confirmation and my credit card was charged. I never received them and I sent multiple emails to the customer service department and never heard anything back (as that is the only way to contact them). I will have to file a dispute with my bank. Customer service is extremely poor!

I placed an order for shin guards in early May. Received an order confirmation and my credit card was charged. Weeks went by and nothing, never received them. Sent multiple emails to the customer service and never heard anything back. Filed a dispute with my credit card company. I bought a pair a few years ago and they were great, came quickly. One cracked so I wanted another pair. Almost seems like they are out of business. They really need to take down their website.

I ordered and paid for shin guards in early April and never received anything. I have sent multiple emails and filled out the contact form on their website several times, and I have received zero response. No shipping update, no explanation, no refund, nothing. At this point, I had no choice but to file a dispute with my credit card company. The frustrating part is that I ordered from them years ago and had a good experience, so I’m not sure what happened. But based on this experience, it feels like the company may no longer be operating properly while still taking orders through the website. Until they prove otherwise, I would strongly recommend avoiding this company. They took my money, never delivered the product, and completely ignored every attempt I made to contact them.

I ordered and paid for shin guards in early January. Never received them and have sent 5 separate emails to them (that's the only way to try and contact them) and have gotten zero response. Filing a fraud complaint with my credit card company and calling the Better Business Bureau.

I would strongly recommend that you spend your hard-earned money elsewhere. I bought a pair of their “stronger than steel,” $80 “carbon fiber” shin guards for my wife who plays in a recreational soccer league. They looked great, but her right shin guard cracked within a year for no apparent reason. She was never kicked and she stored the shin guards in her soccer backpack after each game, so they were definitely not abused or mistreated. My wife and I are both avid mountain bike riders and almost all of the components on our bikes are made of carbon fiber. Neither of us has ever had an issue with anything cracking, despite being put through extremely rough conditions with significant stress and impact. That was the first red flag that made me very skeptical of the material and quality of the “carbon fiber” that this company is using. However, I spent 4 times more money on these than on standard shin guards, so I chalked this up to potentially being a fluke and thought maybe it was just a one-time defect. So I decided to reach out to the company to see if they would stand behind their product and offer a replacement. After a few back-and-forth emails and me sending pictures to customer service, they said they were going to send me another pair of shin guards. I received an email saying that the order was confirmed and that I would receive another email once they shipped. Unfortunately, that was it. I never received the shipping email and never received the product. After waiting for two weeks, I then sent multiple follow up emails to ask if someone could look into the issue or provide an explanation. Crickets. I never received a response to any of my follow up messages. It was as if the company had completely shut down, and/or were just purposely avoiding sending out a replacement product. Anyway, I am not one to write reviews and I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt. But this company and their product deserve to be exposed for what they really are… especially when they are charging a very premium price for a subpar product and customer service. In today’s society where more and more items need to be purchased online, it would be great to have a roadmap for what is garbage and what is actually good quality and a legit company. If you took the time to read this, here is your roadmap for Speed Demon. Look elsewhere if you want a reputable company and a better product at a fraction of the cost. You also cannot read or write reviews on their website.
