Total protection knee and shin guards

These shin/knee guards wrap around the side of the rider’s calves and ankles, cover the shins and knees, and the area between. The outer shell is impact-resistant plastic, the inside is padded by a layer of foam. They are adjustable for length and come in two sizes, adult and youth. They are designed to be worn under leathers or Levis. When used with leathers, the standard protectors are

discarded. Once these beauties are on and your boot buckled, it almost feels as if your leg is in a cast, but movement isn’t restricted. If you’re after the best in protection, even without normal leathers, try these. They work. They go for $32.50 at dealers or from Malcolm Smith, 7563 Indiana Ave., Riverside, Calif. 92503. Phone (714) 687-1300.
