  1. So Working at a bike shop, I notice that Quality bike parts (a large
    parts distributor) Carries roach leg armor, in sizes small, medium,
    large, and xl. Since large's have never been large enough for me, I
    figure why not try the xl? Large's used to not be quite far enough
    around for my legs, and only long enough to cover from my ankle to the
    bottom of my knee.

    The xl's arrived today, and to my large suprise, they're bordering on
    too large. They go from the lower of my ankle to the several inches
    beyond my knee. I'm convinced I could have the larges on under these.
    They also say race face on them (roach was bought out by race face, I
    think.). The straps instead of stretching to close (like happened on
    the large's), they are almost maxx'ed out. So to anyone with really
    plus sized legs, both in length and girth, this might be a solution.

    Also, the back now has mesh instead of nylon.

    *5 minutes later*

    After testing, I can indeed easily wear the xl's Over the larges. it's
    not even stretching the straps of the xl's.

  4. Darn, I thought this was going to be about Face AND Leg armour. Oh,
    well. Lewis will be happy for the ++ size, though- thanx.

  5. Thought I'd mention, after one trials ride I've so far found them to be
    quite comfortable. (compared to the old ones). ventilation is
    significantly better.

  6. I went out for some muni action with Kyle on Thursday and he had a pair
    of the Race Face armor. I didn't try them on, but they looked nice. They
    come up higher over the knee and I didn't hear Kyle complain of them
    slipping all day.

    Good Times........ Mojoe
