Strengths: Relatively inexpensiveWeaknesses: I had the straps as tight as I could get them around my leg and the pads still fell down. The knee cup doesn't have a strap so it's just floping around when you ride.Bottom Line: Not worth buying, or dealing with trying to sew on a strap yourself. Spend $10 more and find a pair that has a strap for the knee.

Bottom Line: addition to my previous post; they do fall down your legs, but if you buy a strap of semi-think elastic and sew it onto the flaps on the sides of the knee protectors, the knee cups dont flail around everywhere

Strengths: good protection, good price, look goodWeaknesses: falls off leg on bumpy terrain, pretty hot; the part that actually covers your shin gets insanely hot on your leg, knee protectors flap aroundBottom Line: ok if your just doing jumps and stuff, but not that great for dh, they'll fall off if you dont make 'em really tight, its a good product, but there are a few flaws

Strengths: What can I say, there Hard, they do a good job for the Price.Weaknesses: Fall down my legs, Need some kind of strap above the knee.
Bottom Line: There Great for the Price, but If you ride more then a few times a week get a Highr price set or just rig them up all Ghetto so they dont fall.

Strengths: Good PriceWeaknesses: To really work, you need to do some mods.Bottom Line: To really get the hot setup, cut all the stiching out of the knee cup. Don't cut any of the material. Use the pads only as a shin gaurd. Then buy a set of pro-tec skateboard knee pads. Tuck the material from the where the knee pad was under the pro-tec pads. You will have the hottest setup on the hill. A DH racer will love this combo. This has worked for me for two solid years of DH racing.
