I went to try on some Endura MT500 Knee & elbow pads today. Jumped straight in with the largest they do L-XL. If I bought them I wouldn't need any velcro straps. They felt quiet tight to be honest.

Now is this me not knowing how they should feel or are they really that tight. I know I dont want them moving especially in an Off. And whilst they felt comfy in the LBS not sure how they would feel after 3 hours in the rain.

What do the erm lets see er "bigger guys" use.

    Matt,if you can't get the velco around then yes they are too small. You want a tight fit as the lycra will relax after a few washes. The 661 Kyle Straight is a great set of knee pads, so try other makes for size.

    I'll try the Kyle's tomorrow.

    Its not that I couldn't get the velcro round its that the pads felt that tight I wouldn't need the velcro straps. Just worried my feet will turn black and fall off :lol:
