The
SixSixOne Race Knee Shin guards are possibly the most heavy-duty knee and shin guards in the 661 mountain bike protective gear line-up. A full-sized hard-shells running down your legs leave no part of your shins exposed, and full-sized hard-shells for your knees do the same for your kneecaps. The 661 Race Knee Shin is as beefy as knee shin guard as SixSixOne makes.
Both of the Race’s hard-shell guards, the one for your knee and the one for your shin, are padded with perforated EVA foam. In fact, this EVA form is oversized so that it wraps even farther back around toward your calves and over the top of your knees. Both the hard-shells are also ventilated to improve their comfort on warmer days.
The
SixSixOne Race Knee Shin offers you:
- Full-sized hard-shell protection for both your knee and shin
- Oversized EVA foam padding sewn into the hard-shells that cover even more of your legs
- A double-belted Neoprene knee sock that snugs firmly around the top and bottom of your knee joint
- Ventilation on both sides of the knee and shin guards to keep you comfortable on warmer days
- Two heavy-duty Velcro shin strap adjusters to keep the Race Knee Shin in their proper position
The
SixSixOne Race Knee Shin guards are sold as a pair. They provide you with full hard-shell protection for your knees and shins at a price that will leave you some cash to upgrade other elements of your mountain bike protective gear.
