Does anyone know where I can purchase these online, and not on a European site?

Straight from bishop himself:

If you guys need to get your hands on a pair of these badboys email this guy - sgvrijburg@manoove.com and he'll be able to set it up.

They aren't available in North America yet so you'll have to go direct.

Just buy an old wetsuit and cut out patches in the same shape, it is pretty equivalent and way cheaper.

it redirects the pressure away from your shin bone, so its not actually pushing against anything.

get em, they help.

I was thinking of getting these, then I was tightened up my bootz and was good!

Do you put these and pull them up to the upper quarter of the boot, to place the pressure on your upper shin rather then lower?

Or do they go right on the area that hurts, and then they displace it from there?

I've just been putting a wrist warp thing at the top of my shin and I feel like this'll do the exact same thing, but if it's any different I'm sold.

I used to have them. They worked really well at first, but eventually i found that i'd get shin bang with them anyway. I might still use them but I forgot them at the mountain one day a few years ago. I find i'm pretty much okay as long as i start out with my boots super tight at the beginning of the day and then slowly loosen them as i need to. Booster straps are also crucial. Also shouldn't this be in the gear talk forum?
