New KH Leg Armor

I saw earlier today that the new KH leg armor was out. I was wondering
if anyone has it yet. I have heard that it is better than the 4x4s but
i was wondering if it is 16 bucks better. I am going to get a pair of
leg armor soon and i was wondering which was better.

they look like the fox ones. when the pedal smacks your shin the plate
bends slightly, hence you still get bruises thru the pads. i havent
tried 661s for more than 5 mins before but i think that the moulded
plastic on them doesnt bend as much so the pads take the impact rather
than your shin. however its like wearing steel armour compared to
kevlar. the kevlar being the kh or fox and the steel being the 661. if
shot at the kevlar disperces the bullet impact over a large surface
area. even tho it hurts like crap for the person wearing it due to the
flexibility, the bullet wont kill them. the person wearing steel
armour, due to the stifness of the steel, would be killed because the
bullet would penetrate it because the steel doesnt spread out the
impact. but if its thick enough the person wont feel SH*t.

basically the fox or kh will last longer but still bruise you and the
661s will break if hit hard enough, but until then you wont feel a
thing on impact.


id go the 661s because its unlikely that youd hit it hard enough to
break it and replacing them periodically would still be better than
semi-frequent bruising.

until theyve been tried and tested, i dont think anybody is in a
position to say which are better are worse than these.

Yeah, everyone is basing their opinions from a picture. I think they
look nice. The old KH leg armor was way cool and this is supposed to be
improved. I would like to see some in person.

What are you basing that on, you've never seen the Kh, and you've only
worn the 661s for 5 minutes? Isn't it a little unfair to malign a
product that you've never been within a thousand miles of?

Kh makes quality products, and bearing in mind that he is well aware
that his biggest rival in the market place is 661, he will no doubt
have designed his armour to exceed the 4x4 in terms of quality and
performance. Sure it might not match the weight/bulkiness/discomfort
vs. protection ratio that some people require, because that's a
personal preference, and it's impossible to satisfy everyone.

I'll be getting a pair as soon as I can, my 661s are shot.
