Re: does anybody wear knee/shin Gaurds???

After splitting my shins opens a couple times I do. I wear them under my jeans and I use the Icon ones. They work nice, but the elastic wears out pretty quickly.

661 knee and shin pads are the only ones i found that actually stay up on your knee..icons are nice but slide down leaving knee exposed..

Re: does anybody wear knee/shin Gaurds???

I got about 6 scars on my shins from rear sets. it took me a while 2 learn but ya gotta wear em. I got a pair or moose knee cups. the same ones i rocked when i raced mx. They dont slide down and they are comfortable as a pair of knee cups can be.

I have EVS shin/knee protectors. they're alright, but they shift around sometimes. I usually just tuck the bottom of the shin pad part into my socks and that keeps em from moving around too much.

Re: does anybody wear knee/shin Gaurds???

Always smart to have gear. I have MX Thor. Basically knee braces,shin guards, and they cover your upper leg some all in one. Stay in place. Which is the problem with most gear. Moving around. Pissing you off and taking it off.
