Hi all - I am looking for some soft shell knee pads. I was trying to find some 661 Rage pads but these are all out of stock in medium. Does anyone know where they are in stock or can recommend a similar alternative? Thanks

    not surea bout the 661's but the fox launch pro as the comifiest / best fit / least slippage i've found, if not a little warmer than some

    I have 661 Rage pads. They are horrible for xc riding. They aren't all that good for downhill either.

    The 661 AM comps look decent if a little camo coloured. I'm interested in the elbow pads to compliment my Kyle Straits.

    For kneepads now the Fox's sofaboy mentions get a lot of reccomendations as do Raceface Digs and Nukeproof Criticals

    Thanks for the replies chaps. I've read mixed reviews on all knee pads now regarding fitment but as everybody is built differently that is to be expected I guess. Will investigate the fox launch pros..
