Shinguard Sizing

[Cavs019 710]

Anyone find that the RBK to Jofa transition has also marked a change in their sizing? I wore a 15 in 8090 for 4 years, and picked up 6k's yesterday. The 15s were litterally stabbing the top of my foot (over the tongue,) while the 14's were perfect. Anyone else have a similar experience?

I did. They do seem longer. In Jofas, i usually would get a 15 in., but the RBK's 14" fit perfect on me.

Off topic, but how'd you like the 6K pad?

Haven't used them yet but they feel unreal. The ventilation on them is awesome. I may decide not to keep them though as my 8090s are just part of my leg at this point. There isn't anything wrong with them besides the horrible smell. I just figured 4 years is way to long for an equipment whore like myself to wear the same thing. :D

haha i know what you mean. I really like the 6K's shape, i like the theighpad less design.

I'm tellin' ya, try the Funk Free. I think you'd be surprised how well the smell will disappear. :)

This isn't related to a particular brand, but is there anything really wrong with hacksawing and inch or two off the bottom of one's shins?

the clamp or whatever may effect the intregrity of the rest of the plastic from holding the pad down. You'll also end up with frays. As long as the knee cap part isn't too big on your or anything, there should not be a problem with that.

hey cavs would u mind actually measuring the length of them to see if they are a little longer??? also WAS jofa pretty standard with their sizing before? i asked a question about sizing due to not being able to try them on and now im kinda scared bc if they are still standard im going to get a 17 but if they are longer than normal ill stick with a 16.
