Fox Racing Launch Pro Knee Pad Armor and Pads
Product DescriptionGo big or go home, but don?t go home for the season. The Fox Launch Pro Knee Pad will make sure that you get to go home after going big, rather than going to the hospital. Silicone grip behind the knee keeps the pad from slipping down your leg or shifting in flight, and the pre-curved ergo fit sits comfortably without bunching. The perforated neoprene breathes better than Michel Phelps in the final 50 meters, and the elastic straps on the top and bottom could give your old skate pads a lesson in comfort.

shayco Date Reviewed: October 25, 2012 Strengths: Lightweight, Stiff around the knee, wrap the knee pretty good, no sliding/movement, feels like I'm wearing no pads after a few minutes Weaknesses: One of the velcros started to get loose after the first time I've ridden with the pads. Think it's only mine and will probably fix it in a few more rides.

from San Francisco, CA Date Reviewed: February 27, 2012 Strengths: Great kneepads, they work well, don't slip, not bulky, not too expensive. Great for long, fast descents where your knees can bang around against the top tube from slamming your bike into corners. Weaknesses: Starting to stretch out a bit, and tear at the stretch points, but they have seen a lot of use.

from Pasadena, CA Date Reviewed: October 9, 2010 Strengths: Hard cup knee protection Weaknesses: The comfort/fit of these pads was a big disappointment. After pedaling uphill for about 15min, they had to come off or else I would have lost all the skin on the back of my knees. If you plan to descend only, these should be fine. But if you want to wear them for the entire ride, don't bother. The design is very poor IMHO. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Similar Products Used: I've used a set of race face shin/knee pads for the past 3 years. They are super comfy when climbing. But they are also heavy and I picked up the Fox launch pads for more XC rides because they are lighter. Big mistake.
