Thanks mate. I saw your post on the Facebook group and thought I'd check these out as I have dodgy knees, but I'm not sure if I can justify the large price tag of the full on braces for my style of riding. These might be a good compromise.
Looking to get these but haven't had luck finding a size chart. Was that one on the back of the packaging and if so could you post the details? I'm 180cm and 80kg, but have decent size legs. Thanks!
Hi there, unfortunately I don't have the packaging any more the S/M fit me perfect and I'm 180cm, 92kg. This link has the sizing if you scroll down to size guide: amawarehouse.com.au/products/alpinestars-sx-1-v2-knee-guards-1?gclid=Cj0KCQjwla-hBhD7ARIsAM9tQKtdibZCbNdRCvSlX69Bbov89PehtjZN_T-2C_CwV5i5Nqgc4Uy6hIUaArUREALw_wcB
G’day Ross I watched your review and went out and got myself the sx1-v2 guards and I’m 184cm and took your advice and sized down thinking I was L/XL went for the S/M and they fit like a glove. Just curious when fitted with your boot does the shin guard stay in your boot or does it ride up just outside the top of your boot? I know it’s all about the Knee protector not so much the shin but I was just curious.
Hi Richard, thanks for watching and your comment, I found they stay in position pretty well and just slightly tuck into the top of the boot but not enough to be uncomfortable. They did move around a bit but I have heard they stay in position better if you wear base layers but they seemed fine to me.
I just bought these after watching this video, I love them!! Great tip on the sizing!
I'm glad the video helped
Thanks Ross, just the feedback I was looking for.
Hi Pieter, no worries at all, so far so good they seem like a great product for the money.
Great video Ross thanks for making it :) I have ordered some
Most knee braces, and definitely not these are going to do anything to stop that side to side knee injury
I just hope they give me some protection during my next crash
I’m ordering a pair based on your review. Thank you!
No worries at all, thanks for watching and your comment. Ross

Exact same reason as me, I haven't crashed hard enough to really test them yet but I'm sure I will in time!! Thanks for watching. Ross
