I have the fox launch right now, would NOT recommend them. Not comfortable at the knees.

go to the shop and try on everything,
then go to another shop and try more stuff,
there are plenty of good pads out there finding the right fit is biggest problem.

you also gotta think what you'll be weairng them with if ur gonna dirtjump and ride in jeans then u want something thats low profile enough to fit under stuff


personally i wear 661 knee pads as there really comfy and they fit like a dream
and i slide a pair of white plastic soccer shin pads in the bottom.

it's light, it looks cool and it gives me all the protection i need.

the race face dh pads are probably the beefiest out there and we'll provide the best protection in a crash, but have very poor mobility.

i've heard good things about the lopes knee pads but they don't fit me soo i can't really give u much info on those, jst try a bunch of stuff on and then deceide

I use the Kyle Strait Knee. Works really well and is super comfortable.

My mate just bought a pair of the 661 Race's. The white ones, and they are super comfy, fit really well, and you dont feel like you're wearing anything. Well worth investing.
