What pads do YOU use for DH?

[bazza]

yeah i use the azonic ones they go from top of knee right down to my shoes. they dont slide down because they are sitting on my shoe. but yeah they are good saved me MANY times. but i would of rather baught the dainese ones. BUY THE DAINESE they are the best for quality and what not.

BUY THE DAINESE they are the best for quality and what not. the fox robocop things are wayyy to small and you would still smashhhh your shins. dont buy anything that dont give out at least 3/4 shin protection or esle you will regret it!!!!!

Tampax maxi pads cause they're ultra absorbent for those mid run accidents. :lol:

 

[Billy]

I use the ones with wings.....

 

[Ev]

I use either a k-mart TSG copy with the caps removed or a set of Azonic knee shins(that only cover half your shin).

 

[jamo]

i reckon CTR's are the way to go. cover the whole leg and knee and bloody good shit.

 

[trobb]

i've got armadillo knee/shins. They work really well, kind of like a second skin- they dont' get in the way on or off the bike...

ive never tried anything else for riding though so...

armadillos dont give heaps of bruise protection but you don't end up with ripped legs either...

And yeah- I do tend to fall heaps!

Neither, how cool is it. I thought my suit would limit my riding but it doesn't

 

[Ride_Guy]

Also have 661 pressure suit which does the job against killer tree's

i got fox 911's, just got them not long ago so they havent warn in yet and keep mving around :evil: pisses me off, i gotta fixz them every 5 mins

 

[bazza]

i got fox 911buy new ones then. cut up knees cost you more than they are worth

 

[SpectRe]

Dainese Gladiator Jacket and Dainese Freestyle knee/shin guards

If you're considering the 911s, I'd advise you to go with the 661 comp or race pads. I haven't tried the race pads, but they appear to be a less bulky version of the comp pad. I know though that the comps are way more secure than the 911 pads, and better value (not suprising, 911s are fox after all....). As for the Raptor's, they seem like a good thing, but they are a moto guard and as such they don't offer full shin coverage, that's my biggest gripe with them.

 

[bighitter]

661 race - knee/shin pads are the goods -
never slip and keep me protected - a little uncomfortable on hot days though.................

Stayfree with Wings.

I ended up getting some dainese Pro Air's and they are quite nice. Taken a couple rides for them to sit in the right position but now they are sweet Very happy wiht my purchase so far.

 

[thrower78]

ctr's

i have used ctrs they will stop anything although when you have a big stack on your knees the knee part tends to slide down your leg resulting in stiches in your knees. If you have bigger quads than the average person they will slide down and straps might not reach.

 

[dropbm]

me got the raptors no problems with m so far

 

[Acadian]

I have some 661 race, some Roach and some Dainese Pro Air.

I almost always use the Dainese Pro Air. I use them with some neoprene knee warmers on to and they never slide!

 

[Kreaky]

i got the standard fox shin pads. there doing the job, only thing is you pulling them up all the time.
can i just say that if you dont have body armour that includes the arms u should get the fox extreme elbow guard, i got them and they farkin rock. i sliped of a 8 foot drop when i first started and if it wasn't for them i would have had broken arms.
