walker Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 I'm on the search for a set of knee pads that off some protection, but are still lightweight and unrestrictive/close fitting. I'm pretty sure Megaskill and Martyn wear them or something similar, has anyone on here got experience of them? Are there any other pads worth looking at? RaceFace Dig pad perhaps? - though they do look a little more heavy duty. Thanks, Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Vandart Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 I use them sometimes especially in cold. They are good shit but can get a bit itchy especially on a hot day. They only really protect against banging your knees on your bar/stem/frame etc. I wouldn't take a fall directly to them like you can with good hardcapped skate pads.

walker Posted January 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 Cool, well yeah, I understand its a compromise with protection. I want minimal protection, just to stop knocks while wearing shorts really. anyone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigamac Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 http://www.winstanleysbmx.com/product/1191..._Kong_Shin_Pads I use a set of these, ridiculously comfy and so good for the shin digs. Recommended. But i've never worn the 661's so i can't comment on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
