661 sizes

The sizes are based on your thigh and ankle measurements.

Measure around the top of your leg (ie thigh)
Measure around the bottom of your leg (ie ankle)

Then choose the one that sounds like the best fit from below:

Large (46cm top 23cm bottom)
Medium (41cm top 23cm bottom)
Small (38cm top, 20cm bottom)

Alternatively, try borrowing a friend's to see if they fit (or see if a
local bike shop has some you can try on).

What about heightwise? Shouldn't there be a measurement from your knee
to ankle or something?

There should be because the height is more important than the girth
(unless you have fat or large legs then the girth is important).
Height is important because if they're not long enough they'll slide
down your leg as you ride, and worse they'll slide down your leg when
you crash and need them most.

If in doubt, go for a larger size to get the extra length.

i have ridiculously skinny legs, but am reasonably sized (5'10"+) and
mediums work ok for me. you have to crank down the straps, but the
length is ok, they actually fit better when i'm wearing something
underneath(winter riding).
i think the length is neutal enough that it can go either way, and fit
a wide range of people...

I'm trying to figure out what size fits me...

Is measurement E from the _middle_of_you_kneecap_ to the top of your
ankle? I'm not exactly sure where to measure from.

[image: http://www.einradladen.net/catalog/images/661_4x4.jpg]

Any advice is appreciated greatly

Municycle.com has the measurements listed: '661 4x4 measurements'
(http://tinyurl.com/chug6)

Measurement E would be the one for length. Measure from the middle or
top of the kneecap down to the top of your shoe. The bottom inch or so
of the armour is just floppy fabric so if the armour is slightly too
long the bottom inch or so will bunch up and be no bother.

The '2006 4x4 armour' (http://tinyurl.com/8wwen) had a redesign. I
don't know if any of the measurements are different for the 2006
versions. The 2006 versions have more ventilation and some other
updates. They now have an XL size.

Unfortunately, 661 doesn’t make pads in various lengths. The
measurements are for the width for the top and bottom diameters only.
As long as the length fits to the top of your knee you can find a pad
to fit you.
But like my pads they end to close to the top of my knee cap. A UPD
with a slide to your knees and your knees are ready for the grill.:eek:

They do. The Large is longer than the Medium. The Medium is longer
than the Small (but only by 1 cm). I'm going to assume that the new XL
size is going to be longer than the Large.

The sizing guidelines from 661 mention the top and bottom diameters.
Shows how much they know about fitting their own pads. 🙂
I consider the length to be the most important measurement because if
they are too short they'll just slide down your leg during a crash and
expose your knee to some ground rash damage. The top and bottom
diameter should be fine unless you have unusually large or skinny legs.

Any idea how the new 2006 sizes relate to the previous year's sizes,
John?

No idea, but I'll bet Municycle.com has a diagram up for the sizing
once they get the 2006 armor.
