Hello all,

I was just wanted to hear some of your opinions on which knee pads would be best for gravity enduro events?

Cool enough to wear while pedaling up hill but also providing enough protection incase i come off on the way down.

Thanks in advance

    I use 661 Kyle Strait knee pads for downhill. You wouldn't want them.
    Thats as much advice as I can give!

    Fox Launch Pros provide reasonable protection and are pretty comfy when pedalling.

    Its always going to be a trade off between protection and comfort.

    661 kyle straits here, for uphill, downhill and everything in between. Comfy as a comfy thing.

    I find them a bit uncomfortable for pedalling uphill. they are a bit thick and get hot and cut in to the back of my knees. Fine for downhill though.
    661's quality isn't great. My Kyle Straits have lasted a year & they are about ready for the bin.

    I believe that's a banstick offence according to Northwind.

    Never heard of them. Get them on, go riding, fall off and report back :)
