Model/Year: 2011

Pros: Nice fit, well ventilated, good adjustability.

Cons: I haven't had any issues with them yet, but the plastic connectors on the sides look like they may not hold up to years of abuse.

Recommendation: I bought these as my previous Fox pads were just too hot to wear in the summer. These keep you much cooler and though they feel a bit awkward when you first put them on, once you start riding, you really do not notice them. the knee/shin guards saved my knee & probably my riding season early in 2011 when I hit a sharp downed tree branch.

Pros: they protect my shins!

Cons: sizing is crazy..

Recommendation: only have 2 sizes available a Small/Medium and a Large/XLarge. I guess if they had a M/L it would be the perfect size. they do the job and are comfortable though, and that's what matters.

Pros: Great coverage fits better than the 661 4x4s

Cons: It is hit or miss with knee/shin pads; they are either too short, too long, or just fit like crap.

Recommendation: Geat knee/shin pad, I needed the xl and it is a little long, but fits better than the 661 4x4!
