Heh, nevermind.

Arty, the raised parts of the shin and knee are reinforced with plastic cells, like a cross weave behind the face of the guard. They've stood up to the abuse I've put them through, but like I said, to each his own. I really don't like my 911s, I don't think they go down far enough, or reach around (heh) the shin enough, but they're also a 3-4 year old design that's seen some major improvement since then.
