Knee pads help
I want to get a new set of pads, and I was looking at the Scott grenade evo but it looks like their large only goes to 17 1/2 inch. The fox launch pro d30 goes to 19inch, now when I measured my thigh 4 inch above my knee cap am at 21 1/2. Does anyone knows if they will fit, and if am over doing in it with these, I just do dirt trails with small jumps roots some rocks but not much. What do you guys recommend, a nd Thank, and I hope someone can help.

I have the Dakine knee pads. They are awesome. The girlfriend just bought the Fox launch Enduro ones which look pretty sweet if your not doing anything crazy. Take a look a the Troy Lee D3s. They are pretty sick and kind of the same thing at the Enduros.

when I wear pads, I use Fox Launch Shorty. Most people think they are overkill, but I prefer a pad that has straps so I can put them on and take them off without removing my shoes. They are a bit bulky when walking around but I rarely notice them when riding. and once adjusted, they go on and off pretty quickly.

So far I've been pretty happy with the Alpinestars Paragon - both knee and elbows. The are super comfortable, light, and breath well in the FL heat. However, without adjustable straps they may not fit everyone although they do come in a very large range of sizes. I cannot get them on and off over my shoes but that hasn't been a big problem.
