Fox Launch (vs. Sixsixone Rage)

Hey I'm looking for a pair of kneepads, and would like to keep the price under 45€ (35£). I have seen a pair of SixSixOne Rage kneepads which seem like a good value, but have also seen some Fox Launch models. My main question is: what's the difference between the launch enduro and launch pro? The pro model is definitely cheaper and would fit my budget, the enduro is a bit much...
I mostly don't need lots of protection, I normally just do trail riding. I need the pads to be comfortable while pedaling, as I do that a lot.
Thanks in advance, Luca

The Pros have a hard plastic cup over the knee, the enduros are just foam padding. So more protection with the Pros but possible more flexibility and comfort with the Enduros.
That said I have the Pros. So long as you get the sizing right they are excellent and have had no issues with comfort. Might get hot knees on the hottest days but otherwise once you are used to them almost forget about them.
I wear them as I'm wrong side of 40 and can't afford time out with bust knees rather than being a hardcore rider! More confident in the Pros ability to with stand bigger knocks than the Enduro which look quite flimsy.2015 Nukeproof Mega TR 275 in raw0 -

Because I cant find any Sixsixone's in S anywhere, I guess I will go with the Dainese Trail Skins, as I have only heard good stuff about them. Thanks!-Cube Acid 29" 2013

I had 661 Rage knee pads and hated them. Really uncomfortable. Now using much better Nukeproof knee pads.Transition Patrol - viewtopic.php?f=10017&t=130702350

thos nukeproof pads don't have straps or give you any side protection unlike the trail skins.0
