Ian S. –
I had to do some extra work to make these fit. You NEED to strap these to a belt or they will fall down. NEED. So measure from where you wear your belt and make sure it is tight enough to hold these up. I ended up attaching these to my breastplate with a d ring and a clip that i added on. I wear them tight at the thigh and loose behind the knee to get the most movement without alot of up and down movement on the Armour.

These give the tops of my legs the perfect level of protection for LARP between the bottom of my brigandine and the tops of my greaves.
