I am looking at possibly purchasing one of these two items and want to know if anyone is running either. Thoughts? Opinions? Fit? Thanks!

I was actually just reading about those tonight after I posted my previous post. Finally got a few new mags in the mail. Those do look pretty nice, are they avail? price?

I havent found many stores that have a good pad selection. Keep finding the same Fox pads everywhere!

These might be okay, but personally I'm very disappointed in the quality of work coming out of 661. Some of the pads have crooked stitching and/or missed stitching all together and tear real easy. There are a number of other pads available outside of Fox and 661. Raceface has some good ones and there are a few more. You might want to check out the downhill section on MTBR, I'd trust the info there a lot more then the magazines as they tend to never really have a bad review of any products.

the roach/raceface pads are great...you can find combo deals on knee and elbow for around 100.00...it's your body how much is it worth to you?
good news Bender is healing and riding

I use the race lites. I like them because they have the side protection that the race shins don't have. They seem to slip down a little bit when pedaling but when used with the pad locks they stay in place.

Jordan, I'll sell you some Roach ones I have, I've only used them once (went down Stair Steps and T & A). They offer lots of protection and are pretty comfy. They are a size large and I'll slang to ya for $35.00 or so...here is a pic of them in action, and they've never seen dirt, or felt dirt I should say.

non action...
