SixSixOne Kyle Strait Knee Pads (discontinued)

Kyle Strait knee pads are very comfortable to wear. Each pad is ergonomically designed for each knee and has upper and lower velcro straps that create a good fit.  The knee cap is made of durable fabric on the outside and a hard plastic shell on the inside.  Dense foam is used to protect both sides around the knee.  Over time, the knee pads seem to conform to the shape of your knees.

After 100 plus days of bike park, shuttle and pedal days these pads are still holding up.  There are scratches, cuts and smudges but no tears in the fabric.  These pads will stretch over time so size down whenever possible.

I highly recommend the Kyle Strait knee pads for downhill, bike park, shuttle runs and backcountry descents.

These pads have saved me more times than I can count & the impact area holds up well, so I trust them. But, they could definitely use some remodeling. If the size chart says to get a large, get a medium. I've got big thighs & calves & I've had to fold sew the straps a time or two so they stay tight. For the price, they could use some adjustable straps to make them last a little longer or so you could loosen them enough to slide them over your shoes w/o destroying the elasticity. Aside from that, I'd buy them again...

these knee pads are great! i decided to buy them after i had a crash that left my knees raw for about two weeks, and have never regretted buying them. they are used mostly for dirt jumping and a little DH, but work for trail rides as well. i even used them on a 25 mile trail ride when i forgot leg warmers one day, and they worked flawlessly! They are also very durable, a rarity for soft face knee pads. even after multiple hard crashes all that shows is a little tear on the side of one pad! These are great, 661 knocked it out of the park with the Kyle Strait!
