Hi i am looking to buy some of the above but would like to know waht other people would recommend.Need something that comfy.
Thanks
race face for total protection.
i run dainese as i got them cheap. i need those knee keeper overthings to keep em in place but they are very old and i'm not blessed with calf muscles.
otherwise its a fit thing. you can buy the best pads but if they dont fit you are throwing money away.
how exactly do you "run" them?
Troy Lee Designs Lopez. I like the fact they have a "sock" over the knee that the pads velcro onto that can be used for light padding/support on their own. Comfy too.
da funk
POC are ace.
661 kyle straits. So light and comfy you forget you are wearing them and they stay put when you hit the dirt.
Dainese for me on my second pair now , stif in Leeds were doing a good offer on them
i use knee pads only
knee and shin on bmx (seperates)
I have the race face FR (knee/shin) for the more gnarly downhill stuff and then just use race face digga (knee only) for smaller XC stuff.
Both are good. I tried other pads and didn't get along with them
661 kyle patriots. fit well comfy for pedalling and protect too. Stitching is a bit gash and you'll need to re-sew from time to time.
I use 661 Race Knee and Shin Guard. I was never bothered for them but a mate accidently bought two pairs from CRC and asked if I wanted them, I thought they looked too rigid and would be uncomfortable but they are great would highly recommend them!!! Have had a few falls recently where they have saved me from cuts etc!!! I have the elbow/forearm pads too these saved me from a broken arm last wkd in Lee Quarry but did help to tear a massive hole in my new jacket 🙁
