Thank you for the update. I was not aware of that. Can you post me a link to their current ones so that I can see them?

Here ya go....these are the new ones.

GZ rider. Velcro wears out but here is an idea that "Might" work for you. The Velcro wore out on my boots so I had a shoe repair shop put on a couple round button snaps on each boot. So far they work great and didn't cost a whole lot compared to new Velcro or new boots. I just showed him where the boot velcroed into the usual position and went for coffee.

Thanks for the idea. I had considered sewing new velcro on to it at some point as I'm pretty good with a sewing machine (which some would say the GZ sounds like). Probably I would just buy the new ones as the knee gets scuffed up over time anyway.[/quote:atvnrw85]
Scuffing is good. Tells folks you actually wear the gear to prevent scuffing on your human parts. That is the best advertisement for ATGATT.

43 here and new to riding. I actually bought some chaps but haven't really wanting to wear them. It's just that, I live kind of close to San Francisco, and, while there's nothing wrong with it, it's just that chaps around here have sort of an association with "leather bars" and a certain sort of lifestyle.

I totally love those shin guards, though! I have some motocross shin/knee guards I picked up at CycleGear for about $30. They look like moto-x shin guards.
