Fox Racing Enduro Pro Knee Guard
The Good

- Level of padding is a nice compromise between protection and comfort while pedalling - Thin material breathes well

The Bad

- Thin material tears easily - Pad tends to sit below knee cap, leaving top of knee cap exposed - Quite tight - consider sizing up compared to other knee pads

Overall Review
I have had these for about a year and have found them to be just okay. The weight is pretty much ideal for offering some protection while being comfortable to pedal. However, they have a few issues that keep them from being as good as some other products. Firstly, the knee padding lacks contouring and tends to sit below the top of the knee cap. I had one crash where a rock impacted my patella right above where the padding sits. Secondly, they fit quite tight. I usually buy size medium knee pads, but even after a year, I can feel the constriction of the top band around my thigh. Consider sizing...

Fox Racing Enduro Pro Knee Guard
The Good

Not too hot, not too bulky, pack flat, forget they are on, don't move much

The Bad

Snug at first, can't be tough to remove after long rides

Overall Review
I really like these pads so far. Only one crash on them and it was from going too high on a berm. It resulted in more of a slide vs straight impact to the knee cap. I liked the Fox Launch Enduro but lost one at a trail head. I replaced them w/ the Transition then Terratec pads. Neither worked out for me. Enter the Fox Enduro Pro. The fabric is very light (more than the Launch Enduro) w/ more substantial padding. They don't get too hot, no hot spots, and dry fast. They are very snug when you first put them on but they stay in place well. They can be difficult to slide off when you're finished...
