SK-491 Extreme Knee Thin Protector Extremo de Joelho

When I was practicing figure 8 and fell, I had this on.
Protector was injured in the shin area, but no injuries at all!
I'm not sure about another product that is only small enough for my knees, but this one gives me peace of mind.

It takes some time to install, but it is securely guarded.
They are too large to fit OFFBoots, so I use them for ON touring.
It is good to have a sense of security.
The price is not too expensive, so there is no harm in buying it.

[How is it used?
The cup of the Knee Shin guard which seems to have been made by Thailandchi and which I used for more than ten years was broken as if I had hit my knee on a stone when I fell, so I introduced it as a replacement. I was looking for a HardCup that can be fixed on the knee with emphasis on protection, and I chose this product because I thought that the Hinge type that does not go to the Knee brace was too stiff. It was also attractive because of its reasonable price.
I have been using it for about 6 months now. I use it for running on gravel roads in my neighborhood and as cold weather gear.

Was the one you received as per Image?
It is stiffer than I expected and seems to be more protective.

How was your experience with it?
The fit is firmer than I expected, but it feels secure rather than hard to move.
At first it felt hard to bend when Sitting, but I got used to it.
I'm not sure if the Guard is meant to be worn on the outside of the pants or not. The circumference of the thickest part of my calf is about 36cm.

[Points to note]
Of the three belts, the one just below the knee does not stretch, so if you wrap this belt a little tighter above the thickest part of the calf, it will be harder to slip down. However, there is no rubber on the back of the Belt to prevent it from slipping down.
I bought some anti-slip resin (the stuff you put on the back of kids' socks and stuff) from a 100-yen craft store and added anti-slip to the back of the Belt and Protector. This makes it even harder for them to slip down.

How did it compare to other products?
The previous Guard was a Socks type and was easy to put on, but the tightness could not be adjusted and it was difficult for it to slip down. This Guard has one belt that doesn't expand and contract, which makes it more difficult to slip down. The belt on the thigh side is thick and doesn't dig in, which is also a nice touch.

【Request to Manufacturer
The shin guard is Quantity:Pair (for Left and Right) Quantity in GuardBody, even though the design is such that there is a distinction between:Pair (for Left and Right) I'm a little confused because there is no specification for Quantity (or maybe I just haven't found one). It's a trivial thing, because the Fit feeling doesn't change much either way, but the Quantity:Pair (for Left and Right) If you have a specification, I would appreciate it if you could clarify it with a Tag or engraving.

I bought these before for commuting, but the Neoprene above the knee is not good. If you tighten it too much, it shifts down every time you move your knee, and it's hard to bend your knee in the first place, so I sold it immediately. However, the Protector itself is a good, solid product, just like Komine.

Komine kneecaps are made of very good workmanship and are made of soft material rather than hard material. I am 175 inches tall and fit enough to wear. They are well wrapped and provide good protection for the knees when riding。
