Hi guys, I have been looking at knee pads recently, unfortunately I am blessed with pretty large legs, measuring 55cm just above the knee, 46cm around my knee and 45cm jut below the knee and am unsure who makes pads large enough!

So far I have only really found the G-Form ones, they have a 3XL size which is meant to be for 50cm around the centre of the knee, however I have heard they size up slightly small, does anybody have experience of this?

Thanks

Adam

Not g form but the Leatt 3D ones are the biggest on the market that I have tried but still found that the bottom of the pad cut deep into my calf so had to send them straight back to CRC. I eventually brought some of the Race Face hard armour short guards ( knee and upper shin coverage) and MrsS undid all the Velcro and re stitched it so I could do them up without cutting off blood flow and carefully trimmed away the Lycra leg sock part as it was too small. They were worth a punt at cut and adapt as they were only £25. They work fine, don't rub or chafe and are the business for shin/ pedal strikes and proper crashes.....I've tried both 😆

Thanks for the replies so far guys, I like the look of the Leatt ones, quite expensive but not fussed if they fit, might be worth ordering to try!

Yeah definitely worth it, it was just my calves too big, thighs were snug but bearable. 😆
