I’ve been through a lot of pads. As in dozens of pairs. Unfortunately, I’m often in-between sizes which is another way of saying no sizes fit well. However, with these new Dakine Slayer pads, I’m right in the middle of the size large on their chart and that holds true to the actual fit.Also good: comfortable materials but appears well made (only two rides and two washes so far so we’ll see). Knee side padding is minimal but much better than the sleave only pads. Top velcro strap allows dialing in the fit and is high up so stays under the shorts. Calf fit is just right (snug so it doesn’t slip but not constricting).
