I like the raceface/roach for the legs, and the dainese saftey jacket.

Because they are learning

searching takes work...screw that

 

[airrick]

well after searching, i have narrowed it down to either sixsixone race lites or 4x4s(for knee/shin protection), i am looking for armor that is protective but lightweight and breatheable,, but i would be willing to sacirifice some of that if the one or the other had a better, more ergonomic design(ie strap placement, and pedaling efficentcy)

Do not bother with the Racelites, worst pad ever designed. Unconfortable, poor protection, not really that much lighter. Get Roach/RaceFace Rally FR, far more comfortable and protective than either 661 pad you mentioned.

the way i would do it for shin pads it to get TLD combat guards. They are big, and wrap all the way around, but are VERY easy to take on/off, and strap around to top tube of your bike. They also pedal very well

If you want some nice and lite stuff dianese is the way to go. Some guys actually trail ride with those.

 

[SHIVER ME TIMBERS]

I like the raceface/roach for the legs, and the azonic Z-6.

yep this is the way to go Azonic Z-6 and raceface/roach knee shin guards

 

[airrick]

what website you you reccomend for dainese, i cant find a offical website

 

[fred.r]

For shins and knees, check out the Fox Launch pads, I've had a few different kinds of shin/knee guards and the Launches are the ONLY ones that haven't slipped down my leg. Also my roommate has the Roach shin/knee guards and they don't slip either.
As for Dianese, I have the elbow pads and love them, light and breathable, and still don't slip, plus they have buttons to snap onto a Dianese Jeresy, but I don't own one so...
Anyways, the only down side to Dianese is price, very expencive. Their upper body armor is around $360ish I think, I got my Azonic Z-6 for like $110 on sale, but I think regularly it's around $160 and it's very nice.

get fox launch
i just got them and theyre awesome theres no velcro or anything to annoy your legs, they dont slip, and the straps are really comfortable and also they look sick too
