  1. I need to get a pair of 661's..my shins can't take this abuse anymore.
    I'm asking for them for christmas..but i don't know what size i need
    and the website doesn't really have any measurements. I'm like
    6'2"...Would the large size most likely fit...i don't have huge legs or
    anything lol.

  5. Why didn't you mention 661's in your *subject line*? Would have saved me
    the click (I don't have any). 😠

    The 661 size guide just gives you the leg opening sizes. That's nice
    to know and all, but the leg opening size is only a part of the sizing
    info needed. The more important measurement is the length of the pad
    from the ankle to the knee.

    Municycle.com has a 'much better sizing chart'
    (http://tinyurl.com/z9tve) for the 661 armour. Look at measurement
    "E". You want that measurement as long as possible and still fit
    between just above the top of your shoe and the middle of your knee.
    If the pad is too short the armour will slide down your leg during a
    crash. If the pad is long enough the top of your shoe will stop it
    from sliding down and exposing the top of your knee.

    At 6'2" you can probably go with the XL.

    hmm...i hear what you are saying. I think it'd be better if it were a
    little snug than if it were too big. I'm not really concerned about my
    knees all that much..i've never fallen on them. Its my shins that are
    getting destroyed. After talking to Cody i decided against the 4x4s
    too..because apparently they are a little stiff for wheel walking and
    street stuff.

    I've got 4x4s and they're not restrictive at all. I wheel-walk in them
    on my 24" muni and they feel great. Don't know about crankflips.

    I agree, they're definitely not restrictive, especially after you're
    used to them. Of course, at first they will seem extremely hot, but
    you'll get used to that also.

    I know you said you don't want em anymore, but incase you change your
    mind again, don't get XL. They're massive. Way way too big.

    Another vote for large size.

    I'm 6'1" with disproportionatley long legs and if you click my avatar
    you'll get to see how they fit on me.

    My long legs also seem to be disproportionately thin, and hence there
    is a slight problem with the straps dangling (which you'll see
    clearly), but in a year of wearing them that problem seems to be purely
    cosmetic.
