661 Kyle Straits - worn them every ride since December, no issues with pedalling or getting sweaty.

Fox launch pro knee pad.

Came off at Cannock last week in the loose stuff. No damage - POC VPD knee/ shin (as I sometimes ride flats). Not had them long but very impressed so far.

POC VPD knees. pricey but really well made, much better protection than kyle straits, as good as T-bones but much more comfortable.

+1 for 661 Evo. Totally flexible and not neoprene so not sweaty. Have worn them on 6+ hour rides with no problem

My Kyle Straits have become quite rough at the back of the knee cup and tend to rub a bit now. Up until then I loved them. Think my next pair will be Fox Launch though.
