[QUOTE="jboomer, post: 755884, member: 27524"] Well, I finally scraped enough money together to get me some knee guards and after searching the mags and catalogues, I settled on these......appear to offer the best protection and operate similar to knee braces (which I'll NEVER be able to afford!). I decided to order them through MXSouth since they are closest to me and I didn't want to wait a week and half (Murphy's law says that if you order riding protection you are GUARANTEED to injure the part of your anatomy the gear is designed to protect if you ride without said gear, ie it's still in transit). Unfortunately, Thor makes two sizes of the guards S/M and L/XL. Well, I'm a pretty average joe (although my wife thinks I have chicken legs) so I opted for the S/M and sent some measurements of my legs (calf and thigh) along with my order in case they had some type of sizing chart. I got a call from Jeff at MXSouth on Tuesday (ordered the guards on Saturday) and he informed me that after measuring a couple of his employee's legs and having them try them on he thinks the L/XL would be the proper size for me....I agreed and received them today (Friday). Oh my gosh! These things are awesome! Protection from mid thigh all the way to mid calf and nearly all the way around! My knees are my biggest worry when riding...be it twisting one (which these guards won't prevent), smashing it into a tree or rock, or whatever. I think these things will protect me from just about anything! My only complaint is that they are really bulky, but what do you expect for so much protection? My Thor and Fox pants both have baggy knees to accomodate this type of protection! They also have a removable liner so you can wash the stink out of them after riding! Needless to say I'm impressed, Jeff got them to me in 3 days (after calling to ensure his recommendation was OK with me) and even hooked me up with the cost! And the protection they afford is top notch! Fit/comfort is awesome as well! :aj: [/QUOTE]
