My knee guards are not quite as long but also interface with the boots ...warmer in winter and full coverage. Much preferred over in pant blobs of armor that moves around too much
I don't always agree with your advice, but this for sure! Ditch the built in knee pads in your pants, people, and go with an over/around the knee solution.
Back to the topic at hand. When we talk about ankle protection, what do we really mean? Is leather or a fabric of some sort which merely covers the ankle suitable? Or do we mean something much more robust, something which offers lateral rigidity?
For what it's worth, I wear BMW Allrounds on my Thruxton, and Falco Avantours when aboard the Tiger. Always.
