Evening folks.
I currently have Troy Lee Designs 5400 knee pads and 5500 elbow pads, both in a Large. They just about fit – the elbow pads being particularly snug – but on Sunday, the right knee pad kept slipping down.
The reason for the slippage is that the stitching which kept the rubbery retaining band in place has given up the ghost, and the reason for that is that when I first put them on, it was reminiscent of a scene from the incredible hulk just without the green skin!!
I’ve been looking all over the place for anything which is going to be large enough – for a moment I got really excited when I noticed the TLs were only a large, until I discovered they don’t do an XL! – but at the moment, every single sizing chart I’ve looked at reckons I’m some sort of freak of nature!!!
Surely I can’t be all that unique?
If I can’t find anything else, I’m going to have to go with another set of 5400s and hope that some of the 15kgs I’ve lost this year has gone from my thighs, but if anyone can recommend anything else, please do!
Full measurements are thigh 23.5″, calf 16.5″, Bicep 14″, Forearm 12″
