Who has used them? Are they any good? What else would you recommend that cover the shin and have a strap above the knee?

 

Nobody?

 

Icon has a nice set I have been using. Fit under the pants and all.

 

+1 I wear Icon too, but make sure they are pulled up. I flipped over the tank the other day and banged the top of my knee hard on the way because they slipped down.

 

My Icons fell apart right out of the box........another pair on the way, hopefully they hold up

 

Yeah, I usually have to pull them up every 30 min or so. I wonder if they would move if they were on top of material like socks or something

 

Wow! I have had mine for a couple months now and they are holding up great.

 

I Got A Pair Of 661 4x4.... They Are Pretty Comfy... Never Bailed Using Them...but I Bet Theyd Keep My Knees And Shins Unscratched

 

i had 661 and hated it.. I'd rather be able to move around quickly and unrestricted then wear them.. I'd spend way more time riding then i do crashing so id rather be free to move around when im riding then be restricted with a bunch of gear on.

 

I use shift dirtbike knee pads and they work.

 

Mine too! My two friends that I ride with have them as well, no problems and they love them. We **** so we are constantly crashing, they work!!!

 

I was concerned about that at first. I just got tired of hurting myself on stupid things, now if I take a digger I feel a lot better the next morning / day. I am not limping from a really hard knee / shin hit anymore which is nice.

The icons don't seem to get in my way, they are pretty streamlined to fit your leg / knee well.

 

A strap????

Looks like they slide right on
