The stingray guards have been tested by the United States Testing
Laboratory at ASTM-4873D specifications. Further tests include the withstanding
of a 12-gauge
shotgun blast at 20 yards. The test was performed with a Remington Model 11-87, 12
gauge, 28 inch barrel, at full choke with 3-18 lead shot loads. The material has 2
oz. rubber waterproof applied to the inside surface to prevent water pockets
from forming inside of the guards. The guards are secured in place with two
1" wide polyester adjustable straps and quick release buckles with an additional 1"
wide polyester adjustable strap going under the foot to prevent floating up while wading.
The stingray guards come in ocean-blue or black color. *The
stingray guards are opened at the bottom and must be worn over footwear (wade shoes or boots) since
they offer no protection to the sole, toes or front of the foot. View

*NOTE: *It is a rarity that a stingray's barb
is directly stepped upon, causing penetration through the bottom of the
foot (sole). Stingrays generally strike below the ankle area when stepped
upon. READ MORE
