Re: What Knee/Shin Pads u guys using?

seriously i have the same problem. and since i have long legs, they don't fit all that great. the knee part is too low, if i raise it up its super uncomfortable behind the knee.

Re: What Knee/Shin Pads u guys using?

Ive got some EVS knee/shin guards, not sure which model they are, but they seem to sit too low on my knee. plus i really dont like the shin part of it, expecially during the hot summer. Their's no vents or nothing in it.
Im looking for some that are just for the knee, and not too bulky under jeans...

I'm 6'2", about 230 and the Large fits pretty snug. If you have pretty big legs, go large....if not go med. The "Glider" has that molded plastic cup, the "Glider Lite" uses molded rubber.

Re: What Knee/Shin Pads u guys using?

Why did the chicken cross the road??


To get his legs back from me that's why....

I got the skinniest damn chicken legs.. I'm 6' tall and around 160lbs soakin wet, so everyone put in your skinny guy input here.

I'm wanting to buy some of these too asap, and I almost bought some icon ones yesterday and now I'm glad I didn't if they are just going to slip down like everyone else's! I don't know about you guys, but that's why I hate ordering stuff like this without being able to have it hands on first!!

help

Re: What Knee/Shin Pads u guys using?

I run the icons also. I had the problem of them slipping and crossed the straps like an x. no more slipping. I don't jump around alot though.

Re: What Knee/Shin Pads u guys using?

most knee / shin gards suck for stunting. they all slide down when your legs get sweaty.

get a pair of the alpinestar black label riding pants. they have knee/shin gards built in. never have to worry about pads sliding down again!!!
