the pads themselves are great. the padding is such that it's very comfortable for extended use. i didn't experience any chaffing or irritation while pedaling. the hard shell is great for falling on odd shaped objects or hitting at weird angles. nobody falls into soft grass....

having said that, there's a couple things to be aware of. the pads can get hot on long days. with cushioning all around and the hard shell, it doesn't vent in the front (the back is open tho) and when i take them off i'm always sweaty inside. i don't notice it while riding and it's not uncomfortable but something to know. i suppose you could consider it a good windbreak for your knees if you fly downhill tho.

also, these don't stay put. as the day goes by i don't know if the straps get stretched or if the moisture from sweat is making them slippery but they tend to slide down or twist around your leg. to be fair, this can be said of most strap based knee pads. if this is a dealbreaker for you, you may want to look at the sleeved pads that you pull on like a sock.

Pros: Really comfortable to ride with. It flexes with your leg even when seated on your bike. I like to how it has 3 straps, 2 at the calve area and 1 at the quad area. Not a burden to the legs, its pretty light

cons: just that its bulky. Keeps sliding down once in awhile, so need to pull up.

PROS: Lightweight, Stylish, Durable

CONS: Bulky

BEST USES: Mountain Biking, Road Biking

This is a good set of pads, they only gripe is that if your wearing shorts and are pedaling while sitting, the top strap has a C shaped hook to hold the strap and it can catch on your cables. should have been put on the outside.

PROS: Comfortable, Rugged, Good Ventilation

CONS: Hooks catch on cables, Slide down over time

Overall good product but not the most comfortable.
Good option at this price range.

Comfortable and easy to use and a good value for added protection

Got these for my wife to do trail riding and work great protected her good when she took some spills

Great product for the price, a little bit heavy, but for the price i dont mind that extra weight. I totally recomend this!

Great!

PROS: Durable, Lightweight

Comfortable and provide good protection. Love the strap at the knee which keeps the knee pad in place. They are lightweight and durable.

I like this guards, they are pretty affordable, might not be very lightweight but not heavy and give good protection as they cover knee and shin.
The guards also have good fit, they are avilable in only one size but despite being a short guy (5'5") they fit good. Not very breathable but still I find them comfortable. Very good option.

PROS: Lightweight, Windproof, Durable, Stylish

Does a nice job protecting you while you mountain bike.

Saved me a good knee banging the other day.

PROS: Lightweight, Durable

Bets use for mountain bike

PROS: Lightweight

CONS: None

I use these pads only when I am riding in rocky areas, and I didn't want to spend $50 or $60 on a set of pads that I wasn't going to wear all the time. These pads get the job done and look good.

PROS: Product value, Size, Comfortable, Protective

CONS: Straps Design

These are a great value. However, I'm not completely pleased as they straps aren't efficient in stabilizing the pad and keeping them locked in place. The coverage is great - so that I love. They do tend to retain more heat than my previous alpinestars. Ultimately if you're not having to do a lot of pumping and stay in mostly an attack downhill position they're your best bet! They did take a hard knock on my pedal and a tree first ride and they're still relatively flawless.

Have only been using the product for half a season.... single track and downhill. Didn't want to splurge on anything to fancy, and this is doing the trick. Seems that once a little sweat builds up on the front of my leg, they tend to slide down a little. Easy enough to yank back up, but some of the better pads seem to have better straps.

PROS: Fit, price, Weight

CONS: Breathability, Hold

The one size fits all doesnt really work. Tried it on the trail and it slips down my leg while pedaling.

PROS: Lightweight

CONS: Poor Fit

Hopefully the best product I'll never need. Broke elbow and decided it was time to use protection
