HELP

Need some advice on knee/shin guards had a nasty mishap on sunday so i think its time to start wearing some sort of protection, only thing is what do i buy i dont want anything to expensive and over rated but i dont want to buy cheap and find out they have no ventilation and dont fit propley. In the ideal world i would like to be able to wear them when needed then just throw them into my bag when not.

sorry that got sent before I'd finished. do you need knee or knee and shin protection. I posted a question last week looking for somthing similar to Kyle straights but managed to buy some in the end...

661 Kyle Straights quality pad - wore them all day last Sunday and forgot I was wearing them.

+1 on the Kyle Straits for knees.

The shin stuff is a bit excessive and less flexible unless you're doing some fast DH kind of stuff with lots of potential for whacking the shins, but for just the odd off just protecting the knees is enough. Also keeps them warm.

At least you landed on your knees after trying a drop. My attempt, head, intensive care.

G-Form Pads worth a look too.
