Description

Real protection that stays in place with effective ventilation; these pads tick all the boxes. Our original Elevate Knee Guards raised the bar for comfort and protection. We’ve updated our most robust knee guards with TPU skid plates to make them even more durable and added a tension band over the calf to hold them securely in place. Laser perforations through the skid plate and ventilated D30® armor keep these guards cool enough to ride in all day, so you won’t have to stop to pad up.

Decent protection for light use

The knee guards look the part, the quality feel is OK. They are comfortable enough for some pedaling, but I prefer to have them in my backpack and put them on for descents/ tricky bits of trail. Having said that, I wouldn't recommend falling too hard with them as they won't save you from nastier injuries. They are definitely helpful to avoid the usual cuts and bruises from low speed blunders though and I wore them to get used to clipless pedals - they come in handy when you can't get your foot out of the pedal fast enough and fall on your side. They cover some of the upper shin region, too, and with some luck the pins of your pedals hit the guards and not your skin. Good product! For more protection, you'll need heavier gear...
