Nice, thanks for the pics. I definitely made the right choice getting the Windys.

Damn bro, what's your calf size?

I tried on the Windy pro style for MMA training and they were great. I've never used the CSI grappling shinguards but they worked a hell of a lot better than the muay thai shins I had.

no doubt, 16.5 inches around, I'm kinda slim actually for 200 lbs, look much lighter like 180

XL is the way to go I think, the Kings look cool too but Very expensive

Those are great pictures... thanks for sharing.

Still curious about those Kings though They look great, and where I'm looking they cost about the same as Fairtex and Twins.

What about the "sliding" factor? I have the "Thais Mai" shin guards which are great in every way except for one major problem: they slide on me a lot during the round. I assume the reason is because they are leather on the inside too, which makes them more slippery. But they do have a buckle that allows you to make the straps real tight. I see that the Fairtex and Windys also have a buckle, but not the Kings.

So how are the Kings, Windy and Fairtex as far as sliding around? Especially wondering how the Kings are with sliding since they don't have a buckle.

Thanks!
