I have a pair of RaceFace/Roach FR shin/knees... They're pretty good. I find that when I pedal they don't slip or anything, but they are pretty bulky... A little difficult to pedal in, but you get that when you're wearing a whole bunch of plastic on your legs!!!!! I've been investigating getting the TLD T-bones or 661 Kyle Straits (just knee pads) for those not-so-rocky tracks. I've heard that they are really comfortable and give adequate protection.

I also have the RaceFace/Roach FR Elbow pads which are great... When riding they don't move at all, and although they get a bit hot I can hardly tell they're there in terms of comfort. Again, a little trouble bending at the elbow in them, but you don't do too much of that when you're riding!

I have no idea how they'll hold up in a crash... Hopefully I won't have to find out!
