edit #2. after a few months of having these pads, the padding in the knee sunk down the the shin and now they slip down like it is nobody's business. awful i have to replace these now. i didn't wear knee pads for one day and didn't notice a difference since they decided to screw me over. the sizing chart is also god awful, if you do decide to buy this product, buy 2 sizes up, i sized at medium according to the chart but i ended up exchanging to an XL and then they fit. great at first, garbage after about 6 months

Those knee pads are good but the size chart is stupidly off. But the padding is heavy and resistant.

Like everyone else has said the sizes run ridiculously small but the product itself is solid quality with really firm padding.
The Valken website has more size information that may help your decision.

Bad Sizing

Just ordered and used these twice, a size L. Now I'm your average guy, 6', 190lbs, a large should fit right? Not a chance, WAY too tight, top strap digging into my leg, not very comfy. If they fit, they'd be great, but the inch difference in the XL isn't worth the time.

Awesome All-Around Protection

Used it for the first time playing woodsball. It saved my knees and and shins from pain when I tripped over a branch and landing, shin first on a branch, and didn't feel a thing. It is a tight fit, and can be hassle taking it off, but the tight fit prevents it from moving around to much and having to adjust it multiple times. Once it was on, it was on til the end. Quality looks good, but I can't comment on the durability, since I've only used it once. But just with the first time, it was well worth the money.
sizing chart WWWWAAAAAYYYY OFF
