I'm after some lighter weight knee pads for more pedally local rides. Like the look of both the Race Face and the Fox pads. I think the Fox pads just edge it but would appreciate some recommendations.

Ta.

Hi wallop, I use the fox enduros. I call them pedal pads, they don't offer a huge amount of protection but they are really comfy. I like mine. Not seen/used the race face ones though.

Another option to consider are the TLD shock doctors. Very light, no straps and offer a shin option too.
I had them for DH, as i've branched out into more trail these are still effective with no discomfort.

I can recommend the IXS flow knee pad, good for all round. I tried the Fox Launch, was a bit bulky for pedalling.
