: 661 Pro DJ Knee : Andre November 03, 2004, 09:05:14 PM I bought a pair of small 661 pro knee guards a couple weeks ago from Go-Ride.com for $18. They're great; plenty of protection, they never slip, it's so comfortable I forget I have it on, and they even protect the upper part of my shin.
The bad: they're a lil bulky, warm, and not machine washable. If you ('re skinny and) want some good knee pads Go-Ride has (only) small sizes for $18. I was watching NWD4 today, and I noticed Gracia was wearing them in his 4X shots. Check'em out. : 661 Pro DJ Knee : KonaBoY November 03, 2004, 09:25:56 PM How tall are you? Im 6'3" and everything i try is too small for me cuz I have extra long shins. Thats the reason I keep in hurting my right knee. They slip off cuz there is like 5 inches of space on the bottom when i put them on the right way.

661 makes some nice guards too. : 661 Pro DJ Knee : Andre November 03, 2004, 11:24:20 PM I'm 5' 9". it's not a shinguard so your hight shouldn't matter.
The top strap is a lil short, so if your leg is more than 15" - 16" (around), at 3" above your kneecap, the small won't fit you.

You should try this (if it fits), plus a seperate shin guard.I had the same problem too. I'm skinny, & average height, but my legs are long. : 661 Pro DJ Knee : MeanMachine December 11, 2004, 02:32:58 AM How tall are you?

Konaboy,as you know, I'm not very tall, but by my Dainese knee/shin guards keep slipping too, so I think it's an inherent problem with one peice knee/shin guards. Here's what helped me - 661 padlock knee wraps (http://www.vsportgroup.com/gear/support_padlock.html). It's basically stretchy tube-shaped piece of cloth. You put them around your knees on top of your knee/shin guards and they keep them in place. Works pretty well. A little pricey what they are, but hey better than bruised knees. I got small/medium size even though my thighs and knees are pretty thick - don't know if Large size whold have been as effective. : 661 Pro DJ Knee : EVILFRENCHY December 11, 2004, 04:39:59 AM troy lee combat shin guards are the shiatz.....cheap as b...s....way to go!

But now I brought a set of Roach Freeride knee/shin guards and they're great. They dont slip much because of the wrap around straps. : 661 Pro DJ Knee : KonaBoY January 02, 2005, 08:51:19 AM How tall are you?
