Sixsixone leg armor question

There seems to be several version of sixsixone leg armor at this site:

Does anyone out there have a recommendation for the best one to get for
unicycle riding? Some appear to be on sale which is nice.

Thanks!!

Phil

I would say the 4x4's because thats what everyone seems to use, the
have good flexability and joint mobility to wear for long periodsof time
and not be too much of a bother tho they get quite hot. i couldnt say
about any other of the 661's but they seem to be more oreientated to
mountain bike racing, the 4x4's save the back of your legs from pedal
bites aswell, as i was reminded today, doesnt stop the bruising but id
rather have a bruise than another 6" long slice that bleeds for an age.

EDIT: $20 seems very cheap mine cost about £40!!!


If you can find a discounted US website it is cheaper to import a pair
(including the cost of p&p) than to buy one from you-know-who.

I use cheap Walmart shin gaurds, but I'm just learning and don't do any
serious muni. For me the soccer type gaurds have protected me well.

But.... at $20 these are a great deal and I be buying some tomorrow.

Just throw 'em into the washing machine. Not the dryer, though.

I put on some standard volleyball knee pads backwards, so the pad covers
the calf. Then a soccer shin guard for the front. For me, this works
just fine, but I don't do a lot of slippery log riding. I bought some
Roach leg armor, but didn't like the degree to which it limited my
motion. The setup pictured he

has worked much better for me, and has saved me a nasty calf injury
several times.
