Not noticed much difference between them in use, if replacing would probably get endura mt500s or Kyles.

I can't help in terms of a comparison, but I got my Kyle Straits from Amazon for £28.99. I also used a free trial of thier 'Amazon Prime' delivery service which meant they were ordered last Friday afternoon and delivered in time for my ride the next day 🙂

I've had both and found the Kyles more comfortable, won't buy the Evo's next time.

Also find Kyles comfier than Evo's, annoyingly as the Evo's were meant to be the replacements!

kyles are more comfy for me too

(although i think they slightly changed the design this year, i haven't tried the new version yet to see if this is still the case)

Not had Kyle Straits, but have had a set of Evos (knees) for about 18 months now.

Found them very comfortable, but as with all the other 661 gear I've bought (had shoes/gloves) they're not that well made (been steadily falling apart for about 6 months now).

I wanted some POC pads, but even the largest size wouldn't fit me.
