Going to bring this topic back up to see if the opinions are still with the Fly 5's or Leatt Dual Axis. I want and need a new set and I'm pretty much down to these 2.

As for the guard vs. brace debate. I don't do braces because I'd rather do a knee(painful and lengthy recovery) than a femur(Possibly deadly). I know the chances of the latter are less, but not willing to make that bet.

I'm in the same boat and can't decide between The Fly's or the Leatte. I wish I could try them on somewhere. My biggest issue is wanting good coverage on the inside part of my knees where they contact the bike. I've always got bruises after I ride.

When i used shin/knee guards I also taped a football thigh pad to the top of it so it would lay over top of my knee and lower thigh.

Kept the bars from digging in.

I like the Oneal Pumpgun knee guards. They have a pivoting hinge and are designed to left and right fitment. They are not knee brace level protection but are a huge help for bruising.
