We led the field in knee/shin innovation with the patended x-up strapping system with the introduction of the Launch Knee/Shin 2007. Several years later it continues to be one of our best sellers.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

Sizing is tricky
I really like these pads. Last year, I lost a set that I've had several years. The things I like about them is that they're quick to get on and off, have plenty of adjustments. When you see them all full of gouges and scratches, you think how glad you are to be wearing these. I wear them only for downhill and occassionally at a park, but they would be too restricting for cross country.
Anyway, I found the sizing difficult to understand, even after writing to Fox. As 5'9" male with average proportions, I bought the L/XL. If they were any longer, they would be too long. As it is, I have hard shell coverage to my ankle and the heavy fabric all the way to my foot.

Top-Rate Knee/Shin Pads
These knee/shin pads are really best-in-class in my opinion. They are easy to put on, comfortable to wear (for a knee pad), and don't rotate around on your leg while riding. Excellent shin protection for flat-pedal users. I haven't crashed with them yet, but I'm sure they will save my knees from a potentially painful situation.
Highly recommended!
***UPDATE***
For what it's worth, after using the knee pads for a season I still love them every bit as much as the day I bought them, and have taken a few nasty spills where they definitely saved my knees and shins. The straps and pads have held up very well, and should last another season without trouble. Great pads!
FOX Launch Knee & Shin Pad
Your search for knee pads that are long enough to also protect your shins are over, they are so comfortable I forget I have them on! Great ventilation and the cross straps keep them in place. I'm 6'1 and over 200lbs so I ordered the large/x-large and the fit is right on! The first thing you want to do is to open the straps by using the "LIFT TO OPEN" tab, be sure to open all of them, put them on by crossing the straps behind your knees and locking the tabs in place then secure the bottoms straps around the lower shins, and you're set to ride! Just buy them; you'll love them too.
