Review: Well made, breathable, comfortable - Great fit, as breathable as you could hope for, and comfortable. I ride with a little more confidence knowing the lower limbs are protected better. Very satisfied.
Review: Exactly what I needed - I never liked to wear knee pads on a regular basis because they were uncomfortable and would end up sliding down my knee after a little while. When I did wear them, it was for aggressive riding in chunky and fast trails where the risk of injury was high and I would immediately take them off for the climb or even for the flats. Picking when to wear protection is like predicting when you're going to fall. It doesn't work. After my last wipeout that left my knees oozing for a few weeks, I swore that I would make wearing knee pads on every ride mandatory. In order to do this I had to find a pair that were comfortable to pedal in and of course provides good protection for the front of my knees and also the sides. I tried POC VPD2.0, which were really tight and bulky. I moved on to POC VPD air, which were highly rated but irritated the back of my knees. I tried multiple Alpinestars pads in different cuts and Sam Hill pads as well. They all went back until I found the Fox Launch D30 pads. The fit was tight at first, but I was impressed with the padding protection while remaining somewhat slim. The cutout behind the knee allows your knee to flex without pinching and bunching up. The straps actually work and do a great job at keeping things in place for the duration of my ride. As luck would have it, I recently crashed on a steep DH section and took a direct hit to the knees and walked away unscathed. I had scratches and bruises above and below the pads, but no damage at all to my knees. Amazing!! I highly recommend these pads. However, I would caution you to avoid sticking your fingers in the opening behind the knee to help pull them on or off. Yes, it's really tempting and convenient to do so, but it will tear the stitching if you do. If you only tug on them from the top or bottom strap areas you will be fine.
