So I bought these last week but finally got to test them out extensively today!
This armor is much beefier than my old KH pads. At first, they restricted my movement but after crouching down a couple of times and stretching them, they felt great. They go up a lot higher on my leg, which is where my KH armor failed. In some situations, the KH pads would peel down and expose my knee. It likely would have happened again today but RaceFace saved the day. I had a few gnarly falls, but the impact was really lessened by the pads. They completely cover your leg but the back is breathable so its great. I felt really confident on the trail today, and they saved my butt several times. I couldn't recommend these enough. It was hard to find them for cheap but pricepoint.com sells XL size for about 40 dollars (http://www.pricepoint.com/detail/13536-536_RACIN4-43-Brands-180-Race-Face/Race-Face-Indy-Leg-Armor.htm). A great alternative if you feel like KH armor isn't big enough!
