Price Paid: $30.00
Purchased At:supergo
Strengths:I love these. they work great and it is nice having protection in the back. they are well vented and are comforble. they have 7 straps on each leg wich is very nice. you have to get a size that hits the top of ur foot so they dont slide. i wore them for 7 hrs strait and i didnt have to take them off
Weaknesses:hurts if u have a cut on ur knees
Bottom Line:these are great for a great price go for it

Favorite Trail:Singletrack
Duration Product Used:6 months
Price Paid: $55.00
Purchased At:Supergo
Strengths:None
Weaknesses:They slide, they cut circulation and they itch like a b:tch.
Similar Products Used:Fox, Kona
Bike Setup:Giant AC
Bottom Line:These pad suck. Especially for the price. I decided to buy the $20 Fox pads and they've been so much better it's ridiculous. I thought buying pads that pulled up around your leg would be smart because I thought they wouldn't slide. I was wrong.

Strengths:very little. this is the for pro mtx shin/knee guards. I have used these for about a year now and hate them. while i do wear them on the more technical trails, i do so very little, as they are very uncomfortable, too warm, slide down, and really hurt the backs of your legs by your knees.
oh wait...i was supposed to put only strengths here...ok...
Weaknesses:now...where was i...oh yeah...they rip way way way too easy. in fact, they ripped the first time i put them on...not even a ride and they ripped...i emailed sixsixone's customer service, and never ever got a reply. emailed again and still nothing.
Similar Products Used:Fox 911's...apprently...much better.
Bike Setup:Big Blue Turner XCE.
Bottom Line:Bottom line, buy something else. the company does not appear to stand behind their product or care about their customers. like i said, these rip way too easily, and i know or 2 other people besides me who had bought these and they are trying to sell them too...they also hate them. too uncomfortable...which makes it too hard to pedal up that hill...straps are poorly designed...and they just slide down way too much. having to try and pull them up while you are riding is not a fun thing to do.
oh...and dont forget you need to take your shoes off every time you wanna toss em on or off...what a pain. not recommended. and if anyone from sixsixone feels like contacting me, feel free...i also own the pressure suit and now wish i had bought the old azonic...or maybe a dianese instead of your crud.
what a waste.
