The Soft Shin Pad is a padded sports guard strapped over one shin. It is light protective gear for the lower leg.
It stops a fair share of scratches and some bites on the shin it covers. Its main strength is its low cost to movement, since it is lighter and slows running less than the harder shin guards. Its weakness is protection, as harder guards stop far more.
The pad turns up in school gym storage, sports stores and survivor safehouses. It comes in a few colours, such as plain, blue and white. One pad covers one shin, so a pair is needed for both legs. The Tailor is the best occupation for protective gear. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
The pad stops about half the scratches and three in ten bites on its shin. It adds a fair amount of warmth to the lower leg and blocks some wind. It slows running by 5 percent and is only slightly uncomfortable.
The Rigid Shin Pad stops three in five scratches and two in five bites, but slows running by a tenth. The Shin Guard stops nine in ten scratches and four in five bites, and slows running by 15 percent. The Soft Shin Pad is the lightest of the three at 0.3, which suits a survivor who relies on running.
The pad is worn on the left shin by default. The inventory option "on Right Shin" moves it to the right leg, and "on Left Shin" moves it back. It sits in the Shin Pad slot. It cannot be worn with a calf piece or a knee pad on the same leg.
Variations
The Soft Shin Pad comes in 6 versions. Most of their stats match, and the extra columns show the ones that differ.

Locations
The pad is an uncommon find. School gym storage holds one about one time in nine. Sports stores hold one about one time in twenty. Closets and pawn shops turn one up now and then. Survivor safehouses hold them in dressers, wardrobes, crates and boxes, but only rarely. Pawn shop shelves, storage units and living room wardrobes hold one very rarely.

Notes
- One pad covers one shin, so look for a second pad.
- The "on Right Shin" and "on Left Shin" options move it between the legs.
- It costs less running speed than the Rigid Shin Pad or the Shin Guard.
- School gyms are the best place to look.
- The pad can get holes from attacks.
