Kris Holm Leg Armor Differences

trueuni · 2012-07-05, 09:36 PM

Hi all,

I just received my new kris holm leg armor. The picture of the armor on the kris holm site is different from mine....or so it seems. Is one a newer version then the other? I ordered them from municycle.ca

Yes, municycle.com shows the *older* version, but you should have received the most current version. Sometimes old stock is sold at a good discount, like the moment cranks, to clear old inventory and to make room for the newest versions. Kris hasn't yet fully updated the pics to reflect the new design, but he should be doing that soon. I believe the first two pics on his website look to be the new design, and the second two are the previous version. One of the improved features of the new version is the molded knee cap.

Those first two pics are the 'Arm Armor', aren't they?

Yeah I think you're right. I ran out of editing time, but I think municycle.ca may still be selling the old percussion leg armour, according not only to the pics, but also the description.

@trueuni: Do the leg guards you got look like the pics in the municycle.com advert? If so, then they ARE the old version. And if you ordered based on that advert, then you got exactly what they show.

They don't look like the ones showing in the municycle.ca pic. Does the kris holm website show the newer ones at the bottom of the page? Did my pictures that I inserted open up okay? I think my armour has the molded knee cap.

Ok then those are the NEW version. Congrats!

Please post some pics of them if you can.

The new ones are far more comfortable and close fitting at the knee joint, my only concern is a few people have expressed concerns about the new flexible knee material which is not as tough but required for the excellent fit and flexabuility. Kris kindly replied to my post in the 2012 kh gear thread saying his pair has stood up fine to his riding wich is good enogh for me.

If anyone has the old ones I would highly recomend an upgrade especially if you ride longer distances

Thanks for your kind remind. It's time for me to upgrade it.

I got the new ones. the fit is a bit tight for people with big legs but beyond that i love them i like the bomb proof protection that they have for me.

Yeah that's the new version. Does it have a flap that covers the back as well?

trueuni · 2012-07-07, 06:49 PM

Yup
