Dirt Rag reviews
this kind of thing regularly. I didn't see that specific model at a
glance but you may wish to poke around some more.



There were a couple reviews of previous Six Six One models:

Pricepoint
has a great deal on these pads and I was thinking of picking
some up.  After s
couring the web for an hour trying to get additional
information the light bulb went off, ask OBRA.



So, anyone
have these – like/dislike?  How is sizing?  I took a couple
good hits at Sandy Ridge and would like something to keep
knees and elbows from taking too much damage, I am not a
free rider by any means
but can go pretty good downhill.  Would these work for Super
D (I would guess they are better than nothing)
.  I don’t want to really
ride in a hard shell pad.  Pretty much want a pad that I can
ride all day in XC fun downhill that will keep an old guy
from
doing something
bad to himself so he cannot ride for several weeks after. 



The one thing
I have read is they cannot stand up to a big hit and had
serious durability issues.  Any comments are welcome!


Thanks


BTW, wouldn’t
today be a great day for a cross race??
