Thanks. That is exactly what I wanted to see. All the pics I have seen show them at angles that do not clearly show the back of the greave when worn.

I do notice that it does leave the side of the thigh exposed where it meets the knee and it does cross below full coverage of the calf though. It is about what I was thinking. It covers the knee, but not the muscle around the knee. I will play with my template tonight and post pics. I am pretty close to that already.

Note: I noticed that both men are wearing a small linen pad right around the ankle area. Is that acceptable? I think it would definately make it more comfortable.
