I need new knee/shin guards

Kris Holm Percussion. Enough said. 661's really don't even compare. They
KH's opened up a whole new world for me. They're much thicker, yet not
as hot (somehow). And despite the thickness of the padding, they're
much less bulky. That may be one big paradox, but I swear its true.

if you need knee protection too, get the percussion. if you just need
shin the get lizard skins, because they are really good, and have a
palstic peice in the shin area so you really have to wack yourself for
it to hurt.

I use the Azonic Neoprine. They are the best most comfortable shin ankle
knee and calf protectors of all time! Period. They are also really
simple durable and easy to put on and take off. Getting the correct
size is very important. I bought the large size used from a worker at a
bike shop for $10. They were great for winter riding when I put them on
over my jeans. They were just to big and rotated when I wore shorts. So
I therefore got the small and they are perfect when not wearing long
pants. Yes, they are somwhat hot but not more than other brands that I
have tried. Keep in mind that I live in Israel and it is hot here!

I would buy them from here at $30.

I like the KH percussions but the Azonics are just more comfortable and
easier to put on and take off. I also feel that I get much better knee
protection with them. Don't get me wrong I love KH equipment and would
not trade any of my KH unicycles for the world but the Azonic leg armor
that I linked above is the best protection that you can get. The two
layers of thick neoprin really protect the calf and that is hard to
find nowadays.

The KHs look good, but the Azonics look just as nice and more reasonably
priced. Thanks for all the help guys.

I have the KH Percussions, which I've ridden now for just two rides.
Love the fact that they're easy to get on and off. But I've had some
rubbing on the back of my knees where the elastic goes across; I'm used
to the coverage from the 661s there, I guess. We'll see if I get used
to it, or what. I don't know that, in terms of the OPs question,
there's an appreciable difference between the 661s and the KH.
