Title: Knee/Shin Guards

Hi!
Can anyone recommend a pair of good shin guards, preferably those with the knee guard as well.
So far, I've checked out some guards on the net. There are alot of brands to choose from such as:
Lizardskins
Troy Lee Designs
Sixsixone
I was hoping u guys could give me some advice, perhaps where to get it and other important stuff to look out for when buying.
Thanks!

Andre, give Sportbilts a call. Look for Adrian. He can help u.
anyway, give 661 model 4X4 a try. wraps fully. if u need harder protection for the knees, get the harder ones for knocks. ;)

Before commiting to a pair of guards, do put them on n walk around abit. Bend the legs n shake a little to ensure the guards hold well. Basically, just get one that feels comfortable, with at least 1 strap above the knee cap (for stability).
Some things, we'll regret buying once we reach home, knee/shin guards are one of them.
Sportsbilt is a good place to start. Give them a call to check whether new stocks have arrived. :)

K thx guys for all your help!
I dropped by sportsbilt and bought the 4X4. Very comfy and not
too stiff like the others i tried.
