I am about to purchase some leg protection, following a recent accident to my uni buddy at work ( Onza Bites Man ), but I am not sure which size to go with.
I am 6ft 4, so would expect to be looking at a large/x-large, but does anyone have any measurements out there on which brand is the longest? 661 4x4’s ? 661 Veggies ? Roach Indy Leg Combi ? Any others I should be looking at?
If anyone has measurements on smaller sizes please add those too, it could be helpful to others on the forum looking to buy some leg protection.
Cheers
Andy
You’re going to want the largest size you can get your hands on, I think. I’m 6’0", and I go for the largest size I can find.
im also 6’4, but have very skinny calves. i went ahead and ordered the large sixsixone 4x4s, and once they arrive i’ll try them on and let you know how they fit.

661 4x4s and Roach DH leg armour sizes tend to be on the small side. I’m 175cm tall and I wear Large Roaches. If I were you I’d get extra large.
a while back i inhereted a pair of blue roach indie pads in size large. i am 5’ 8" tall. they fit but are a little on the long side. they have come in handy both when i was learning and freeridding on a hard tail bike.
i have thick legs so most of the pads i have tried on feel a little snug including the large roach pads. mostly what i find is to get the kneecovers to fit comfortably i have to pull them down. the bottom of the bads dig into my foot if i dont tuck my sneeker tongue into them.
recently though i have ordered a pair of mediums… hopefully they fit. if not i will have to sell one of the pairs.
does anyone know about the arm sizing ? i figure i need medium for those?
