Opinions on these please. I'm not one for pads and things as i tend to land on my head or bounce! so these could be a solution?

or are they a waste of time? will be riding in spain , wales this year as well as the usual epping, danbury etc.

Cheers.

They'll be good for general xc and the occasional off you may have and good for those wanting some protection but dislike bulky pads. Alternatively they'll keep your legs warm in winter.

The problem is getting hot when wearing protection. Depending on the riding ie if its a long uphill to do the down then might be a thought to buy something thats quick release so you only wear them on the down. just a point to think about really.

Are they going to be more hot then normal pads.

I got fox Launch Pro Knee Pads worn once at cannock and they were hot after not to long.

Can borrow If you like.

When i rode in spain a few years back andI fell in to the fucking cactus thingy, I wished I had some protection lol. Its bloody scary in them mountains thats for sure with seriously steep descents rocks etc.

I have dianese you can borrow with velcro fastener so 30 secs to put on or take off and elbow pads if it helps. Dont go buying for one holiday and I dont give a shit if you mess em up mate lol.

Ive got these for arms and knees and ive found them very comfy, although ive not ridden in summer yet so will probably think different when it warms up http://www.sixsixone.com/Catalog_661Bik ... cf8c695311

they look ideal for light XC stuff, and ideal for this time of year.
Wont be too hot in the mountains when you go, Bang tidy!

Thanks for the offer.
