Light & comfy knee pads needed !!

kinioo

Hi All,

After few crashes I decided to invest in some knee pads...

I don't do DH but I do like aggressive / fast MTB riding etc.

What I am after is something light, comfy (should be able to do 50km in them), washable and easy to put on/off, something which doesn't move about when pedalling etc. and something suitable for (not many but...) hot days.

I don't want to break the bank here, something reasonable in price.

Does anything like this exist ??

I found these: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/dainese-trail-skins-knee-guard-2015/rp-prod118469, quite like them, but any other options here ??

Maybe something even lighter with bit more vents ??

Many thanks for any recommendations

The Trail Skins and TLs are OK and there's Fox Launch Enduro and Spesh Atlas. Not impressed with POC Airflow

Knee pads are a bit like gloves no one will know which ones are the best for you. It's important that they stay put which doesn't always mean 50 km comfortable and they need to be protective which again doesn't always mean comfortable. Have a look at those with D30 or similar it works well and be prepared to buy loads and send loads back

Fox Launch Pros get my vote. More protection than the Fox Launch Enduro mentioned above but seem pretty comfortable and no issues on longer rides so far.

Been running the Dainese Trail Skins for the last 12 months or so and been really happy with them, light enough for all day riding and will take the sting out of a decent crash, not tough enough for full on down hill though...

Been using Fox Launch Pros for about a year no problems recommending them good all day comfort look chunky but your barely notice it.
