anyone use them?

Got stung to hell by nettles last few rides, thought these may be an option . .

I'm assuming they would stop stings?

Also any idea on sizing? Any idea how you measure your calf?

Think I'd rather have the nettle stings! - 23 quid too

I like a post ride nettle/thorn review, I'm usually going so fast at the time I don't notice them 😉

That looks like a compression sleeve rather than calf guard though - to squash your legs primarily!

Shinpads? Or football socks?

where i decided, somewhat unwisely, to venture last night was sheer hell, unrideable 2/3rds down, but i thought may as well keep going, legs still buzzing today and covered in thorn scratches too . . arms too . .
