Irregular Pulse Posted August 26, 2006 so what are the best for under 200 bucks. I mostly want something that stays put REALLY WELL. That is most important for me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fryboy My Ride Posted August 30, 2006 i wouldnt go with fox. ive just never heard of there gear lasting that long. i have moose knee pads and there great. but i think im gettin rid of those as soon as i get money for braces. GOOD LUCK!! I've been running Fox Raptors I think (the silver kind) and they have held up great for over 3 years. They were 80 or 90 bucks at Cycle Gear Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike_socal Posted August 30, 2006 I've had the Silver Fox Raptor knee guards for a few years and I think they suck. I wouldn't buy them again. The black snaps that hold the pads on break off. The edges of the straps dig in to the back of your legs. I had to cut up a few socks to put over the straps as protection. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mhillsing23 Posted August 30, 2006 I have the cheap EVS knee/shin pads from Dennis Kirk. They are great for the trail riding that I do. They stay put very well, and they are comfortable...not irritating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
