A very wise (and strange....I mean really strange!!!!) rider/bike/wheel building God an all round sex pest told me to get some Football shin pads and use knee pads.

I've got the shin pads........I'm just a little "plump" yet so I canot find knee pads to fit

Ive used plenty of different shin/knee pads & found Dainese to be very good...

They're just a rebranded version of their Veggie shin pads. They're ok but the ventalation is not as good as some others...

Peter, I got some older used 661 veggie knee pads as part of a deal last year and they are BIG, barely stay on me - have you tried any similar?

My Dad says that he used to use a couple of paperback books down each sock when he played football as a lad.  He can't fooking read but has lovely shins

dyno shin splints work well, but only if you wear them.

Not seen them Jon will have a mooch and try and find a pair.....I've also gone the "Dordy" route and bought some "normal" knee pads to use as Elbow pads

Probably the best you get.  Shins, front and side for whips and ankles:
