The "con" isn't really a con as it wasn't designed for XC, but I included it for those shopping online who can't see them in person. These are sweet pads and really inspire confidence. The pad has a nice feel. It's feels like a mix of hard shell and soft padding. I've never felt another pad like it. You do pay a premium for POC but I don't mind spending the money for quality, comfotable protection.
NOTE: this review is not for the DH LONG, just the shorter 2.0
Pros
Light, good protection
Cons
| ThankNone so far
