best Shin/Knee pads

Lucozade1

So the wife managed to take a strip out of her shin at the weekend and now wants to listen to me re shin /knee pads....

Any recomendations for comfy, well fitting types that are ok for long duration and not too restrictive??

Is it best to have seperates or one piece??? :shock:

POC. But they're very expensive Raceface Rally FR is good too at a more sane price.

my POC Bones knee/Shins are the best and most comfy i've ever used. They don't move either.

POC stuff is stupidly expensive.
I use RaceFace Rally FR leg armour. It's uber-protective, but that's not why I (and all 5 of my riding buddies) bought them.
We got them because they are really comfy to wear, especially when pedalling, as opposed to the 661 that I had previously.

Rich, Thanks but need small i think for the wife, only 5 foot 4. I will get her to check the size chart and get back to you. Thanks again

Check out this month's Singletrack magazine - it has a review on knee/shin protectors.

I'll take those off your hands. They may be slightly small for me but if so, my wife can have them and I think although I'm tall, I'm borderline on the diameters.

I was looking for evo pads to match my knee pads but nowhere in the UK seems to do them and they're probably too expensive to get ripped apart by my V12s anyway.
