FAQ
GENERAL AND ABOUT MONOLIT SPORTS
THE FOUNDERS
The man behind Monolit is Dieter Bergmann. He makes a living as a pilot, but he is also an inventor and a motorcycle enthusiast. He has, among other things, built one of the world’s lightest motorcycles – with carbon fiber. The story of Monolit started when his son Oskar was having problems with eczema from conventional shin guards. Dieter realized that he could apply his expertise in composite materials to create a much improved shin guard, one that was lighter and stronger, as well as providing better ventilation.
OUR PRODUCTS
Monolit is made from carbon fiber and, unlike conventional shin guards, spreads the force from an impact over the entire protection area, which means you can engage in some serious tackling without worries.
Our shin guards cool down your legs. This is done by means of a minimal contact surface and through ventilation that carries away humidity and heat. Better cooling means less energy wasted and more stamina. Your shins will be eternally grateful to us.
The protective edge of the shin guard is shock absorbing and has also been developed for optimal fit, for increased ventilation, and for reducing bacterial growth. The unique construction helps you avoid build-up of sweat, unpleasant odors, and the risk of eczema.
Monolit is one of the lightest shin guards in the world. The unique material and design has enabled us to bring the weight down below 40 grams per shin guard. Spread over an entire match, this can spare you a ton of extra weight. We can promise you that less weight will give you more speed and stamina in a match.
Monolit shin guards are designed to do their job just as well on your left as on your right leg. You can strap them on quickly without having to think about which one goes where. We call it Equilateral Fit.
Monolit is made from carbon fiber composite, a mixture of carbon fiber and epoxy, resulting in a remarkably tough and light construction.
