Anyway I'd be curious to know what measurement you get if you do it again.

Damn, you owned these too?!?!? How many people have owned these things? Are they like the GSBB community pads or something? lol
Anyway I wasnt sure which inside seem you were talking about so I measured both and got 2 different numbers. The first one I measured was the little leather flap on the inside front corner of the pad and got 8" on the boot, 16.5" from the boot to middle of knee, then 11" from middle of knee to top of pad. So that adds up to 35.5" over all.
The the other seem I measured was the nylon one that runs along the inside edge the calf and knee wings attach too. Those measurements were 9" on the boot, 17" from boot to middle of knee, and 10.5" from middle of knee to top of pad. So 36.5" overall.
And yeah, they really don't seem that big. That's why I was shocked when I got 37" when I first measured. They do have a pretty extreme S curve too so that makes things hard to measure and them fit a little smaller than they are.
