Rookie Koho Pad Sizing Question

[nicksorg]

I've been looking at purchasing a set of used senior pads. Without much experience, I've been doing some research and I think the Koho pads - maybe 580s might be good for me. I've searched the posts and have seen differing opinions on stock sizing and measuring. My measurements are:

Floor to mid-knee = 22
Skate size (Koho 580) = 9.5
Height = 6'4"

I'd appreciate any feedback from anyone with similar measurements, etc.
Thanks.

Koho's run alittle big so i'd say either a 35+1 or a stock 36" pad should do it.

id say you could easily fit into a 36+1 or 37 (depending on if you prefer slightly larger pads) pad, with NO mobility issues whatsoever

I'm only 6 even with 17.5 ankle-to-mid-knee. The koho/CCM charts land me in a 33" pad, but when trying new ones on I feel that a 34" koho suits me fine. Ideally, a 34" with an extra inch or two on the thigh rise would be what I would chose for myself.

Given how they fit me, I would suspect the above replies about 35"
or 36" Kohos would be accurate for yourself. Get to a store and try some on!

Nooo, don't feel that way. I have short legs for my height. See my Domi-esque frame in my avatar?

As a point of reference. I have an 18.5" ankle to knee measurement and fit perfectly into a 35" Koho 590/580 and RBK. On all of my pads I have added 1" to the thigh rise.

Hope that helps.

I have an 18" and my knee is sitting right at the top of the knee cradle on my 590's(33") so i'm moving into a 35 rbk after this year.
