I haven't thuroghly looked at the specks, but I think the biggest difference as you go up in price, is the cooler it is. But $230 is a lot of dough, even $120 is kind of a lot.

In some MTB vids I've seen you have to look pretty carefully to tell that they are wearing a protection jacket.

It dawned on me that maybe my 2x2 661 elbow/forearm guards might fit my calf, so I tried it. Fits perfect! I only wish I had another pair because I use them on my arms for MUni all the time. Btw, my 661 4x4 knee/shin guards fit right over these with no problem. +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: DSC01816.JPG | |Download: http://www.unicyclist.com/attachment/23685 | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- MuniAddict My Videos: 'http://www.youtube.com/profile_videos?user=ttt8699 ' (http://www.youtube.com/profile_videos?user=ttt8699) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MuniAddict's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/12920 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/65912 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |
