Another vote for 661. Saved my legs yesterday, and if I'd got elbow/forearms as well my arm would be looking a bit prettier right now Roll Eyes

Don't get Race Lite ones though, they've got crap support.

The Race are good but I find the top of the velcro cuts into the back of my knee...

I used to use knee/shins but I've started using 661 Kyle Strait Knees and they are soo much better, more manunerable and cooler but not a lot less protection

i have the racelite's, they are excellent, really tough and protect you well, they just slip round meaning that your knee's get exposed sometimes, im going to get a pair of these to keep them in place though - http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=3991

ye i'd go for the 661 4x aswell. lasted me for ages and still going strong. also alot better because they wont slip, are comfy and best of all are fully covered at the back so when slipping a pedal you wont get the backs of your legs cut
Cheesy
also dont get the race lites because my freind uses them and sais they slip alot!
