Long socks. ~$10 on Amazon.
I've been wearing sweatpants while deadlifting, but it's getting kind of hot here in south Texas, and I lift in my garage. So, what are you folks wearing over your shins to keep them from getting scraped? I was thinking about wearing some calf compression sleeves, but not sure they'd be much cooler, and the material of the ones I looked at was rather thin (polyester and spandex?). I also found some old almost knee-high socks I used to wear with boots, but they cut off the circulation to my calf muscles now.
Should I just get some long socks that fit, or are there inexpensive thin shin guards I can get? Trying to do this on the cheap, so a solution that is $15 or less is preferable. I don't wear shoes when deadlifting, if that matters.

Cheap compression shorts, and Rehbands turned inside out for shin guards.
Long socks.
They aren't perfect, I have a scrape on my knee today. But damn it's hot in the garage with long sweats on.

Knee socks. $7.99 for a 4 pack on Amazon.
Fuck all, if I'm honest.
I just take a narrow enough stance that my shins are on the smooth part of the bar
