Decided against my wife’s advice before popping my racing cherry and rode without guards. “Get some Fox ones” she said “The reviews sound great” she said
First race, first rock drop. CRASH! Endo and I’ve bashed my knee and taken plenty of bark off. Ordered the fancy Fox guards that night.
I’ve since worn them in several gravity enduro races (LOTS of pedalling) and these things are sweet!
No pinching, no moving around my leg, not too hot and not restrictive at all. (I’m used to moto pads which suck)
Even wore them in the car post-race ‘cos I forgot I had them on.
Managed to slip a pedal on landing recently and these babies even stopped the dreaded shark bite wound from my flats.
Worst part is my wife wants her own pair now!
Can’t fault them.

To be honest these knee pads have far exceeded my expectations. I downhill as well as Esk8 and have had to bail a few times and they have saved my knees brilliantly and at 58😬that’s important

These pads. Are the most comfortable I have ever used. Hardly notice them being on. Even after an hour long ride they are cool, stay up and Super effective.
One of the best upgrades yet.

I upgraded from the old launch pros to these new ones recently, the difference is night and day.. heaps better comfort, no more rubbing on longer rides, better protection with the D30 inserts & hard caps and more breathable with better straps too. I’m hopeful these ones won’t end up smelling as bad as my last pair, knee sweat is funkyyyy! Who knew. Highly recommended!

I purchased these for my son for his 16th birthday. I got the medium size which fit but didnt allow room for growth. Sent back them back and got the large size. they fit much better. I have one happy son. These are a great set of knee pads and he rides easily with them.

Light , super comfy and the ultimate in protection ! Strongly recommended , a bit pricey but you certainly get what you pay for ! Best knee pads ive ever owned !
