shin/ knee guards 661 v 3X v dainese pro

strak

Hi
I tried on the 3X shin/ knee guards the other day but werent very comfy for pedaaling.

I got some elbow guards and the 661s were a lot more comfy then the dainese 3X -
so i ask is it the same for shin guards, are the 661 race lights any good? (werent any in the shop to try)

cheers

the 66a's work fine for me. Slight tendancy to slip down, but you can fit and forget

strak there is a thread in the downhill section and i put there one too, best place to
ask i thought.

I was recommended the six six one race lites, as fly4fun says fit and forget
really work too.

Some people slice the lining so the knee goes into the section to stop
the pad slipping down.

Take a look on the chain reaction web site has on all there items are personal
views on the gear.

i got the race face ones and they are wel nice to ride in. go in to a shop and try some out is your best bet.

i got the 661 racelites as they wrap most of the way round my leg so help stop your legs getting scratched to bits by twigs and thorns. Comfort wise theyare fine - dont itch or move around or anything.
