Hi! Can anyone recommend a good brand of knee pads/shinguards? Where to get them and how much? Thanks.

Hi!

I use knee and shin guards manufactured by FOX. I got it from dreambikes in Alabang. I forget the price, but I know it is within our budget.

The other guys may have better suggestions.

Good luck!

My brand of knee and shin guard is "Shift"
at first I was looking for Fox and they said that shift was better.

Just compare them both just to see which is better.

I use the FOX ones. Big buggers but effective. I should know, I've tested them already hehe.
Shift is also ok, looks smaller and has a lot more vents. Priced around the same if I'm not mistaken.

By the way, FOX knee/shin guards are quite bulky. As BoyG said, Big Buggers.

If you've got hairy legs, they may feel quite uncomfortable at times. Do you know the feeling when someone tries to pluck strands of hair from your legs?

Ouch!!:angry:


Hope you get the best suited for your needs

Thanks guys. I'll have a look at Fox and Shift.

Bought my Fox at RKP in Makati for P850.

i bought it at cyclemar, 10th ave callocan for 950, well worth it mga bro....:)

v22,

you mean to say 950 set knee and shin??? :?

yes ponki, mahaba ung shift d ba! takip na ung knee and shin d ba????:rolleyes:

c skutriska me bnebenta elbow/arm n knee/shin scoyco racing ang brand 1700 lang 1 set

practice ba na isuot yung knee/shin guards outside ng maong? o dapat talaga sa loob?

i'm 5'6" and 230lbs+ ... got big quadriceps and calves.... hirap nga mag hanap ng jeans eh... ok lang na sa labas ng jeans isuot yung knee/shin guards?

i use fox knee/shin guards. i figured in a spill going to infanta. my fox guards twisted exposing my knee to the road surface and almost half of my knee skin peeled off. get komine knee/shin guards from ryan at "action hobbies" at petron greenhills. there's also this other brand (i forgot) of protectors that you can get from JTTriumph in Caloocan, the protector on the knee part is fixed on it and has a hings so you can still bend your leg easily.

wowiesy,
you may wear your protectors outside or inside your pants whatever is comfortable to you.

cheers!

i disagree on this one IMO, the protectors are more prone to twist if it's outside the pants. you can already see the knee pad flap while the bike is in motion, what more if its being scraped on to the ground.:rolleyes:

wow! been some time seeing you around in these parts dude!

i guess it depends on the kind of knee/shin protector you have. remember khankaloo's on our infanta ride with the ATAT's?
