I'm skinny too (5'10 145 lbs), so I feel your pain! They don't make "off the shelf" protective gear for us. You may have to do what I do and settle for second best. I use strap on armor (KNOX "Flexiform" knee armor is infinitely adjustable and perfect for us skinny guys!) along with O'neal Comp Shorts (padded), and simply wear the best pants I can over them. By the way...as a skinny guy, I've tried about 8 different types of "strap on armor" and ALL were too big for me. The KNOX is PERFECT fit. Expensive ...but worth EVERY penny if that's all that fits! Get the "cross knee" knee protectors....you'll be glad you did.

Same problem for short large people like me.

However, try Revit - http://www.revit.eu/ they make different lengths Short, Regular and Long. Looks like nice kit too.

Call Vanson

Call Vanson. They'll be able to get you something that fits and works. Price is commensurate with the quality and durability.
