Questions & Answers

They slack at all, don't they?

That wasn't the case, the very best protection I had ever had. It has been 3 years since I started using it.

In terms of the sizing instructions, I fall right on the edge of the l/xl range. How can I go about it?

There is a small size run in this item. It would have been better if I bought an xxl, but I got an xl since that was what I had in an You should go up to an XL

What do you do with the legs? Do you wrap them around or slide them in? How do you put shoes on? Do you need to take them off?

Velcro straps keep your leg in place. You do not need to take your shoes off. *br>I'm in love with

Is it possible to separate the shin if you don't want it all the time?

There is a connection between them. In this case, they wouldn't need to separate since the guard is so light and comfortable.

Selected User Reviews For Race Face Flank Leg Leg Protector Black

It's good to have all in one to protect your knees and shins
5/5

If you wear flats with pins, you won't get shin rash. The pros are Please note that Four places on the bottom of the belt have elastic straps for excellent fit- Follow the instructions on the sizing chart and your leg will fit (I had no trouble with the sizing chart when I followed the directions. )
- You will be protected both on your knees and on your shins. Those pins on my flats were killing my skins - hence, I needed to get these - I think a better rider could certainly avoid this (the rider isn't good)*- It's much more convenient to wear them after you've put your shoes on, compared to the elastic knee pad slip ons from Alpine Stars that I used to wear. Please note that If your legs are not completely covered, you will get a little ventilation relief on the back of your legs. Please note that This is a well-lined jacket with a soft lining. Please note that My favorite part is that they are so easy to wear that I wear them almost all the time.

Basics to improve Please note that On the trail, they're not too hot, but the heat isn't that noticeable once you're out of the woods. A kinetic rider may feel like they're on their last breath on a hot day, but with an electric bike, I’m never sweating that much. Please note that There's not quite as much "one and done" as in the case of Normally, I'd complain about the ons I used to wear, but it's a very minor issue. As soon as you get the hang of the straps, they are easy to put on.

The knees and the shins are well protected
5/5

These are comfortable to ride in, and they can be put on without taking off your Due to the padding and overall design of the D30 pads, great protection is offered without compromising comfort. This was actually a more comfortable experience than I anticipated. Easy to put on with 6 hook and loop fasteners and stay in place since they do not require you to take off your shoes. As soon as they are put on, three of the fasteners hold it in place, then the other three can be tightened to an appropriate level. It is very easy to use and very secure, which is the result of a very clever, comfortable design. It provides excellent knee coverage with additional side padding and shin coverage as well. DH park is a great location for people who ride flat pedals. I am sorry I did not buy these pads sooner they cover areas my Fox Launch Pro knee guards do not (my shins) and could have greatly reduced my scarring if I did. The fit is true to size. My boots are snug but aren't In accordance with Race Face's size chart, my 44cm thigh (at most 10cm above the knee) and 37cm calf (at its widest) fits between a medium and a large. The Med size of the pads fit me better since the pads that are too loose will occasionally slide out of the way when they

I have had this happen to me with other pads before as the straps stretched out over time.

They may be on the warm side in the summer depending on where you ride, but the open back keeps you cool.

These Rock the Guards with Multitasking on the Side are to die for
5/5

For years I have had some Race Face parts on my bike, and I appreciate their They were too tight when I ordered them in a medium Knee Glove following their sizing guide (manufacturer). Originally had to return them to the seller because they were out of a Large. I ordered them from WorldWide Cyclery and they arrived within one week before I could even take a smoke break after an encounter with the (I'm not that fast nor do I smoke, but I am fast nonetheless. that have the extra length to protect the upper tibia-fibula, a huge plus ShinBurger Pedals by Brooklyn Machine Works with an additional set of pedals for a future build will be used The added layer of protection is very beneficial, because those delicate pedals can cause serious injuries when they tap the flesh and bones. I wore them for three hours to check out their comfort level and the noise level made it impossible to tell they were uncomfortable as I vacuumed, mopped, scrubbed and did stair work at my condo to reggae music. The product and the company that purveys it gets 5 stars for 333% of their star rating!.

The size is slightly larger than the size guides
4/5

This is the first pair I've bought since needing stitches after experiencing a particularly nasty pedal strike incident. They cover up the part of my shin that suffers due to pedal strikes. My quads are XXL and my calves are M, according to their size chart. Originally, I ordered an XL in order to compromise, but the jacket stretched after use so I should've ordered a large instead. I will stick with these for as long as they keep working, though the straps allow for a lot of adjustment. These pads are comfortable to pedal in, and only slide if the terrain is very rough or if I am really I think this problem would have been solved if I had gotten a large. Since getting these pads, I haven't crashed to see whether or not they would hold their position, but the shin guard portion has already saved my life.

There has been an improvement since then
5/5

The height of I am 5'11 and the weight of I am The three times a week that I ride are important to me. As you climb or descend, the pads stay in place and don't move around a lot. When I first put them on, I felt they were very tight and had a feeling that There has been an improvement since then. The height of I am 5'11 and the weight of I am The size I purchased is It would have been better if I had bought I've used Gforce pads before and one of them unraveled within four months. These are in fact very well made, but is somewhat bulky. There is little regard for the needs of their customers and they don't stand by.

Until now, these pads have been the best for me
5/5

I am buying these for the second time. The work very well, and they are very comfortable. These aren't too hot or bother me even though I live in a hot humid climate.

I avoided a lot of stitches because I had shin guards on
5/5

So far I have not injured my shins. During my time out on a new trail, I stumbled upon a piece of razor wire that stuck out over the path. I didn't notice it until my shin guard was cut. D3O is a fascinating tool. While it made a dent in the fabric cover, it barely ached the I was able to kick it away from my calf thanks to the shin guard. A shin guard is one of my favorite sports gear.

Definitely a product that stays put and can be worn for long periods
5/5

My old Fox equivalents had not stayed closed after a couple of months. I bought these to replace them. It's not clear if the fabric will resist getting torn by rock falls, but so far they appear to be able to withstand them. Hopefully, these will also be a bit warmer, but staying in place is certainly the goal. There is a bit of a sizing issue here. This is a 6-item list for me With a height of 170 feet The large was a bit tight for a pounder.
