Im wanting some new knee pads and have narrowed it down to 2. Either the Race Face Dig knee pads or the 661 Kyle Strait pads. Which would you choose or have you used both and which is better?

those new fox pads look pretty sweet... now Im leaning towards those, but Im gonna think on it for a few days. Is the knee pad hard shell or soft?

I have some 661 Kyle Straits and I really like them but they do have some issues with sliding. I tried on some of the new Fox pads the other day and really like the way they fit. I'd defiantly giving those a try when the Straights need replacement.

Both 661s and the Fox pads have a harder knee cap. Not quite solid for head frontal impact, had a friend pop the cup inside out in his Straits, but they do good for most crashes.

I have the Straits and like them alot. These Kali's I just won from Massanutten are virtually identical and the color is great too. BUT, they're too big. Size XL.
