Shin/knee guards
Yes, My brother and I are wondering the same thing for knee&shin guards.
Any ideas on a brand that offers good protection and fits well under your pants/bibs?

These are the ones I will be riding with this season. Extremely comfortable compared to everything else Ive tried so far. Pretty good protection from the knee right to the top of my boot. Will try to post back after I get a few miles with them and let you know how they are working out.

knee pads
This is what I ride with, I don't do the huge drops but I like to jump. They are not bulky and they stay put so when you go bust meadows you don't notice them.
They provide a certain level of warmth on cold days too.

This is what I have.
They are grade A sweet shin guards.
They have a cool buckle, so the Velcro lasts WAY longer.
They fit under my Motorfist snow pants just fine.

This is what I run. I am definitely
not a hucker. I just suck at riding and fall off alot. I also have a Blowhole and Airframes on my sled. The vents are painful on the knees If you take a big hit, and I am afraid of raking my shins down the screws on the edge of my boards if I miss when hopping across.
These pads sit nicely on top of my boots and the straps keep them in place quite well. I am on my third season with them and I don't even know they're there until I bash my knees into the console and it doesn't hurt. These cost around $35.00

Fox Titan. Looks like they are the cheaper smaller version of the Titan Pro with less coverage above the knee.
I use these and love 'em:

Do you get a hockey stick with those?
Yeah, and our knees stay supple.
Unlike snowmobiler. I hear his are raw and haggard.
Ha ha! Supple....my wife hates that word.
You guys might want to look at something like this too: http://www.leatt.com/shop/body-protection/knee-leg-3df-soft/knee-leg-3df-soft-adult.html
The materials stay pliable, but act as a hard material on impact. A little less bulky feel than a standard hard shell knee guard. I have the regular 3DF ones and I think the others models are new. If you're on the outer edge of one size, I recommend going to the next size up.

I have some older EVS, plastic cup with neoprene tops and bottoms, I like them. I used to wear old (OLD) Axo foam/plastic units with elastic bands to hold them on.
The EVS lets me feel the sled, yet still offers protection. Plus I noticed when riding with a guy who had the same Klim pants as me, he said he was cold all day, I was warm, it was because of all the neoprene on my thighs/lower legs.
I bought these ones after riding with a bud who hit a hole, and left holes in his Dragon console. With his thigh bones. He drove his bones through his skin, knee, pants, and plastic console. Freaked me out, I bought better guards, lol.

Bilateral open femur fractures in the backcountry... He was fortunate to be riding with experienced people otherwise survival rate drops very quickly.
I like EVS knee/shin guards. G-form shorts for no bulk hip/thigh protection. Any impact that is truly high energy will result in a devastating injury, but at least our body armor helps to walk away from most other accidents.
