  1. It's getting really hot outside. The winter must've been left out of the
    calendar this year and autumn went straight into spring. Which is not
    that bad(except, of course, for the critical water shortage), only
    early spring gave rise to early summer. It was around 30 degrees
    yesterday. And it's only getting hotter.

    So, it looks like I've got about six months of hot weather ahead. Which
    means that I'm gonna have to wash my KH shinguards and put them on the
    shelf. Now, I don't want to give up aggressive trials and street for
    such a long time, which means I'm gonna have to buy new armour that's
    more hot-weather friendly. I don't really need knee protection, it's
    just the shins that worry me. I was thinking T'ry All Shingua'
    (http://tinyurl.com/3433rf)rds. They are quite cheap, look pretty mean
    and have different paddings. Anyone has any experience with them? Also,
    if I wear medium size KH guards, what size Try Alls do I need?

  2. We are having record snow falls for March, already burried in snow from
    Nov, Dec, Jan, & Feb.

    It seems every 2nd or 3rd day we are digging out from under more snow
    fall.

    So yeah, I think I know were it went.

  3. My legs are never too hot with 6'61 4x4 pad'
    (http://tinyurl.com/3xb89o)s, but because of the "coolmax" system
    they've got on it, it doesn't protect as much as other pads.

    But I don't know anything on the Try-All guards.

  4. I've got 661s.
    1) They're just as hot as the KHs in the summer.
    2) I snapped the plastic on my left 661.

    I need something for the shins only. Less area covered - more area for
    sweat to evaporate off - less hot. Knee protection seems unneeded in
    most UPDs I have.

  5. to be completely honest... the ones your looking at will kill you right
    at the botom of your foot...like where your shoe meets your foot...the
    little flaps on the botoms of the shin gaurds will start to really
    annoy you after maybe a week...or less.
    I tried some for like a month and they killed me.
    but whatever...

  9. Thanks for the pic. So you're supposed to tuck the flaps into the shoes?
    How about leaving them on the outside?

  10. ive got 661 veggie shin guards and theyre great. they dont have the
    knee bit either, its got those flap things on the bottom but they dont
    bother me at all
    and i think the 661 vegies look cooler than the try all ones

  11. i think that when my 661 4x4's finally wear out, which won't be too long
    now. that i'm going to get these....http://tinyurl.com/ypc9pfthey cost
    the same thing as the new kh pads, but have hard plastic so you know
    that you're protected. the only thing i might do to add a lil bit more
    padding is add a piece of fabric low on my calf(the only spot that
    won't be covered, but i dont know seeing as how it's rare that get hit
    that low anyway.

  12. If your gonna get anything...get these.
    I have em and I love em.
    They are like 20X lighter than the kh ones and they breath great
    becasue they are just foam with square holes cut into them...
    they are super strong and have alread taken a beating...

  13. Those Try-All pads look just like the Krusher pads I had.

    [image: http://img82.imageshack.us/img82/9643/dscf0035hy1.jpg]

    They were extremely comfortable.

    The flap on the Try-All pads would only help so that they dig in
    less... my Krusher pads, if you walked around a lot, would bother the
    area between your shin and foot if you didn't wear thickish socks.

  15. Problem solved.

    I cut off the knee protection from my old 4x4s. Now they give neat shin
    protection and are pretty cool. Great!

  16. I was gonna suggest that you could just buy some cheap football
    shinpads. They cost about a 10th the price of specific unicycle or mtb
    pads and od exactly the same job. That's what I use just cus I refuse
    to pay so much more for slightly altered protection. And if they are
    too hot then you can drill holes in them and adapt them to suit your
    needs best. Due to them being so cheap, it wont matter what you do to
    them.

    I'm thinking about getting these to replace my 4x4s. I just read some
    reviews on them and several people complained of the pads not staying
    in place. Do you notice this at all when you're riding with them? Are
    the straps too stretchy or irritating? Is there any protection on the
    back? Also, is there a plastic shell on them or is it just foam?
