Knee pad advice

marcaudsley

Hi all
After a recent tumble resulting in a hospital stay and op to knee i am considering buying a set of knee pads. More for confidence i think.
I have looked at the 661 Kyle Straits and the Veggie knee wraps
What is the main difference?
I ride mainly xc & trails, not much xtreme stuff!
Anyone help me out?
Cheers all

kyle st are great pads comfy offer good protection..

i think so some please correct me the veggie don't have a plasitc cup like the kyle st

an internal cup that is before someone shoot me down telling my kyle st don't have a cup..

yup veggie pads are soft padding only, Kyle ones have a hard plastic internal shell too.

Go for the Kyle Straits, much better protection and really comfy, do a search on the forum, tons of people have them and love them, including me

Just bought some kyle straits today and they are very comfy, and adjustable.

There is a lot of ingo f you scroll down the Buying advise page - an earlier thread today.

I often find that products get cyclical hype on forums but it's true with teh Kyle Strait pads- they're great
