No more "calf rash"

Lizard Skins mtb calf/shin guards. Now hopefully if I go down on a heel-side slide, my one calf won't end up with road rash.

I typically skate in shorts and kneepads, but that still leaves my calf exposed. Normally no big deal, but after having a heelside slide NOT slide, my calf would prefer not to become intimate with the pavement again.

Yeah, that's the exact spot where I get road rash.

i like my fox north shore pads for downhill biking... they come with integrated knee guards too plus they have balistic nylon inserts to absorb impact rather than just scuffing like the ones you pictured mark. but then again theyre like 50 bucks so you get what you pay for.
