These seem great and are doing the trick for me. I'm 6'0" and wear a 32x32 normally. Bought a size medium and my only warning is that the shape is meant for people who are a bit more in proportion than I am. I have abnormally large runner's legs and a thin waist. The leg bands at the bottom sound like they are ripping when I flex my thighs, so I'm not sure how long they will hold up. However, pad placement is excellent and I really don't need the leg loop to hold up and still offer the same protection. Pads mold nicely around your body and you can feel how they firm up with abrupt hits. Haven't been able to find anything else on the market that works, so I'll likely buy the same pair if/when these break down.
