dye knee pads sizing

[jwren00]

I want to get a pair of the new Dye core knee pads. I'm 5'11" and weigh 155ish. For those of you that have these pads, what size do you guys think i should get?

I called dye and they said i should get the XL's because they run small, but i want a second opinion. Thanks for the help.

Get XL. They do run small and there is a breaking in period before they feel comfy. But once you do they're comfy and never move.

Larges fit my forearms pretty tightly.

KNEE pads?!?!? ;)

I tried mine on @ Mardi Gras. I'm about your size and I got the M/L. They were a little tight, but then they were broken in. Now they fit well and stay put!

BTW - Get the XL if that's what DYE suggested.

I'm 5'11" and 155lbs as well, and got the large kneepads, wish I'd gotten XL instead. Took some breaking in, but mine finally fit, they're just a tad tight. Hate to wear them for a full day.

I'd go with the L I have the xl and they always slide down on me. I'm 5'9" 180. so I ended up just getting the JT skinz...they are shin/knee pads and they stay in place...they could use a bit more padding.

I ordered the XL's, they better fit! Thanks for the info guys
