Hey Guys

Just got a pair of the TLD T-Bones for Xmas, I got a Medium and they fit well around the thigh and calv but seem to be a bit tight around the back of my knee. Wore em around the house for a while and it was driving me crazy... Does the back stretch out?? I saw a pic of Sammy boy rockin them with the back cut out (see pic)... Has anyone tried this??

I have cut the back out of mine. They are so much more comfortable... The thin stretchy fabric used to get pinched in the back of the knee. No more...

I think the issue is that your profile says Southern California..so the assumption is that your native language is english, you live in the los Angeles/San diego area, and thus it should be quite easy to find info about a companies products that is in your back yard..


Now if you are from Baja..none of these asumptions hold, but they are easy to make, given your profile.

I love them. Made trail riding more fun.
But, I agree they pinch a little bit. I might trim them out after reading this. They aren't going to be all threads everywhere ?

Operated on the pads. OMG. I thought they were nice before. Now they are the equivalent of slippers. If you have them---> do it.

Just cut out the thin mesh part. Leave neoprene intact. Seemed to come out nice and clean w/o much effort. No signs they will come apart after this. Do it.
