I love my Airflex Pro's. They are so comfortable that I wear them on almost every ride here in central TX, they have also held up better than any other pads I've used and though they have gotten holey and ragged they still function (but really need replacement).
My biggest complaint is that they tend stick to the ground on impact rather than sliding and this causes them to more often than not be ripped out of position during a crash... sometimes causing additional injury in the form of scrapes and abrasions.
I was hoping the updated version would be a little more "slidey" but from the looks of that mesh pattern on the knee polymer these will be worse. Bummer.
