What are people on here wearing for knee protection? I've been wearing some cheapo $25 knee/shin guards that are frickin uncomfortable but have done there job a few times. I'm thinking of getting something better. Any suggestions???? (probably not a $500 knee brace, just armor)

I just use some EVS knee shin guards that were like 25 bucks, they work pretty good and are ok comfortable. Would like the braces but I am not gonna drop 400 bucks on that shit.

I've got CTi braces now, but used to wear 661 knee pads that offered decent protection. My boots protect shins, so I like just the knee pads. Got them at Performance for $40.

Comfy? I can't stand the straps digging into my calves like the one I have.

The Fox racing shin/knee guards I've been using the past 6 or 7 years are awesome. Saved my right knee when I got attacked by an F-150.

I wear these - affordable, comfy (wearing kneehigh socks under)

I also wear them under my kevlar jeans when riding on the street - at least until I can get better street gear.

My 661 pads have soft sleeves with velcro straps on top, so never bother me. Some pads can be a problem tho. And the CTi braces are very comfy....better be for $835 each!

I have a set of 661's that were like $15. Never found them uncomfortable and often would forget I had them on under my jeans. Crashed them several times and was quite pleased with their protection.
