What's your opinion on these? They look like they would offer some bracing protection too, and they're a decent price, as opposed to cell's, etc. Thanks, ...N

I had a pair, and they seem to offer great protection, but I had a couple problems. The lower section is quite thick, and extends down a long way (especially on my short & stumpy legs). So they did not fit well into my SIDI's. Could not get the upper section of the boot to latch correctly, even at full extension.
The other issue was that the bottom edge of the guard created a pressure point on my shin, just walking around the basement with the boots on. This may have been aggravated by cranking down the boots to get them latched, but there was definitely a hard edge at the bottom of the shin guard. Not sure if it would have been an issue riding, but figured if they were not comfortable for 15 minutes of walking around, then a 4 hour enduro wouuld be torture.
If you don't have large calves, or your boots offer a lot of room in the top, they may work great. I suggest you try before you buy.

I have a pair and they are thick around the shin but I have no problem getting my O'neal boot buckled. They seem great. Not sure if I will be wearing them or my son will. We only bought one pair so far. I am also considering these.
