Elbow and Knee protection

mark_fogel

I am heading for a long weekend at the lake district and could do with with decent elbow and knee protection. I already have soft Fox knee pads however I am not confident these would provide enough protection if lets say I fall on rocks...
Can anyone suggest something which is easy to wear all day and not too restrictive?

Thanks!

If you're riding any distance and climbing then stick with the lighter pads. Heavier pads will just get hot and uncomfortable.
Personally, I wouldn't bother with elbow pads. In eight years of never wearing them I've never had any worse than grazes or cuts.
