Jpaco54,

No, you really shouldn't.

These are the best
But you really should wear a windbreaker or a long-sleeve with this kind of thing:


McDavid HexPad ForeArm Shivers-Black 651 | GoBros.com

They are for football and they are excellent, and very lightweight, and unlike the soccer shins, they are designed for your forearms. I had your problem, and I wore one of these on one arm under a long-sleeve black shirt, and you couldn't tell a thing. I got nicked, not really drilled, on the same bruise, and I didn't feel it. These things are great.

And if you go to that site right now, they have a lot of deals on compression wear and injury prevention stuff.

They look worse than they are, but you use a long-sleeve or a windbreaker. They put the hexpads like those in the tights, and in all kinds of football pads and undergarments. They're amazingly light and resilient, and they are a hell of a lot more protective than those soccer shin socks.

Many years ago we had an umpire who wore a shin guard on his left forearm. Everyone gave him the nickname Spartacus.
