best bet is go to a shop and see if you try a pair on, then order them fo less online. I own a set of kyle earth, I was wooried about fitting - Massie thighs and skinny lower legs. Medium fits me fine lots of room - also there is a bit of streth too.

cheers for the replys guys and girls I'm going to order a set of the 661 Kyle Strait Slim Knee in XL off chain reaction cycles and try them if there a bit to small i was thinking of taking them to a cloths shop and see if they could fix them to fit me,like make the stretchy bit bigger and the straps or something.worth a try.
