Shin-only or Shin/knee armor?

[Unicorn]

I just got a pair of Azonic Knee Shin and Calf guards. I bought them used. I was going to buy the 661 4x4 but the worker in the bike store showed me his old Azonics and they wrap around the whole calf protecting you from the pedal nail wounds. the 661 4x4 don't protect the back of your calves to well.

Yours are nothing compared to the condition mine are in. Jeez you Wellingtonians are such nana's. Especially Considering that yours are several years older than mine and yet much better condition. Your just not hardcore enough Pete.

Anyone else had this happen?

Yeah, well you know I have the same problem. But not so much as you, and generally only when they are under my jeans.

In response to all the people saying that the 661's have too many straps: I only do up the inner three and usually allow the three elastic velcro's to dangle loosely as they please, perhaps thats just me tho.

ahahahah

yeah, guess what, I let my straps at the top hang loose too but that's only coz my velcro and stitching has fallen off from me being so hardcore. Everyone knows Wellington is NZs most extreme city. Check the muzzle Wellington visit video again, I still have dents in my shins that I got through my 661s!
