As the title says, I have been off the bike for a few years due to injury and had a big DVT in my left leg (behind the knee into my hip) so, I have started riding again, I am after some leg protection as damaging my left left (one with the DVT in it) could lead to some horrible issues, I have tried a few sets of 661 pads and the lower strap and neoprene around the knee in the large size is too tight which would lead to it restricting the flow of blood out of the leg, I looked at the FOX pads, same issue, is there anyone making XL pads

Thanks for any help

Chris

don't go for POC - their large are only just big enough for my waif like legs.

I've got a pair of 661 knee pads that are massive even on my large legs. Worn once this weekend and i didn't really get on with them (carried them all the way up to the top of the Wall at Afan, put them on for the Graveyard / final descent and then took them off again at the bottom). Any use?

Thanks for the offer, I have tried on some of the knee pads and they felt ok, what are they and what are you after?

Not sure exactly but I think they are these.

How much - not much. £7.50 posted?

2010's are much better.
