Our Thoughts:  The Fox Launch Pro is a durable knee/shin pad system that pedals so well you almost forget you're wearing protection at all. If you are going for a ride that requires a lot of pedaling but still need to be protected, these are the pads to reach for. The articulation in the knee/shin moves very easily with little resistance, but yet offers great protection too. The fasteners on the side of the knee make it really easy to remove the pads without having to undo or unadjust any of the straps. The ease at which these pads come off and on really sets these pads apart from others on the market. Not only are the sides of the knees engineered from ease of removal, but they are very well protected which is an area that many other pads tend to overlook. The shin section of the Launch Pro is slightly shorter than other models but it did not seem to affect the protection level of these pads, and perhaps even helped with the overall pedaling efficiency. Overall these pads rock and it's clear to see that some of the worlds best riders have had some input into the design of Launch Pro knee/shin pads.
