Questions & Answers

Does the actual Pad have a thick layer? In hot weather, how comfortable are these?

There is a difference in thickness between mine and the lightweight, useless Launch Enduro Knee pads from fox and the real downhill pads from the others. It is about a centimeter thick. On one hand, I don't find them to be very comfortable to pedal for a long period of time, but on the other hand, they are extremely lightweight and Their back can bunch up, so they are not the best for paddling for long periods of time. I personally do not like paddling in knee pads because they make my legs feel cramped and heavy. If it is hot outside, they are OK to use

How does the return policy work for this item?

honor Amazon's 30 day return policy here at Netrush, but I am not sure about other sellers.

Do you have a pair of knee pads in the works?

In other words, it's a game that requires both left and right knees

What about jeans? Will they fit comfortably over them?

Probability is not high. These pads are both knee and elbow pads that I have. It seems that the elbow pads slide around a lot when I wear a long jersey. When they are in contact with skin, they are brilliant. You may want to check out motorcycle gear if you are looking for jeans that provide protection. Kevlar panels and pads are available at the knees and hips of trousers made by this company. Protect riders during slide accidents on an asphalt surface at speeds of 65+++ mph. They do an excellent job. Despite their hefty price, they are not that cheap. If you need a lower end example, you might like to consider Scorpion covert jeans.

Selected User Reviews For POC Joint VPD Air Knee Pad

The product is good, but due to the critical reviews of knee pads in general, I remained apprehensive about buying it
5/5

The decision to buy has nevertheless been a good one for me. Let me share some of my impressions and tips. It's not that I'm possessed by my own tree-loving traits I'm just 5'10" and 177 lbs This trunk has A pair of legs of that size. Since I've not crashed yet, I can't comment on durability after a crash while the level of padding and thickness makes me confident that there won't be any knee injuries. Wear them most often from 7 a. m. to 7 p. m. It is not binding at the back of my knees when I ride 20 miles. On occasion, I will, as well, slip them down from my knees and wear them around my ankles while on long 'flat' rides, stopping and pulling them up as we get close to the descents since my riding area is divided between these parts. You can use this method to ensure that your knees are able to breathe, as well as prevent sun tan lines from appearing. Besides wearing them in the gym, I've worn them to You do not experience discomfort even when the weather is humid and 90 degrees. In general, it is good to buy this knee pad when knee protection is the intention. The following would be one suggestion I would make to the manufacture to reduce cost Even though it may seem incongruous, this product comes packaged in an incredibly elegant box ideal for display in a Tiffany window on Michigan Avenue in Were we to reduce the box glamour, we could pass the savings along to customers.

The knee pads you need for trail riding are incredible
5/5

The trails in my area have a lot of short steep climbs followed by a lot of A pair of these knee pads offers enough protection for trail riding every day. Already two times I have fallen on them. I had a pretty decent fall the first time and my knees were uninjured. As for my forearm, it's not as long as mine. In this way, they function much like a cheese grater (since they have additional protection there, I really like how the fit is The measurements were taken in accordance with the recommendations of the The wheels won't slide and won't come off when the car crashes. Additionally, they do not interfere with a ride. The first time you put them on, they feel stiff, but they warm up as soon as they come in contact with your body heat, so they quickly mold Honestly, I don't even notice my knee braces on when I'm riding until I've been in an accident and realized how much they saved me. My favorite thing about these is that I wear them even when I ride in a local park which mostly consists of pump tracks, flow tracks,.

When taking a spill, it worked
5/5

POC's sizing chart. I went a size bigger (Large) when I should have gone for the mediums, but I was worried my calves would be too small even though other reviews warned me that the mediums would be too A few months back, I got into a nasty spill off a jump, and I noticed they were slipping a bit while I was trying to get them tight. Right knee pad slipped and scraped my knee pretty badly to the point where it looked more like it had been damaged by a car accident. Although they lasted for a long time and were in good condition, they also protected my knees where they covered, so I cannot You want tight pads, so make sure your size chart is correct!.

This is a 5 star rating
4/5

Those were the perfect fit for me since I needed something lightweight. It's hard to have good crash protection and be breathable at the same time, so I understand that they are not as breathable as I had hoped. might not be especially thick, but should still be enough protection for most accidents except for the most severe ones. It's really comfortable to wear them once you get them on and they conform to the shape of your leg Although the material on the back can bunch up sometimes, it is usually noticeable only during climbs that are longer than a few miles, and I wear them around my ankles then. The size smalls are snug, but the benefit is that they do not bounce around on rough downhills at all. I wasn't sure of the size I have skinny legs and bought a small. While I could have gotten two mediums and been comfortable, they might not stay in place as well as larges. Having them be a little tighter would be more appealing to me than having them move. While I don't think these are quite as affordable as some other similar options, they are more than adequate in my opinion.

A pad costing $800 plus the bill of a doctor costing $1,000
5/5

It's truly a pleasure to use The gloves have been purchased for their abrasion resistance, however they do offer some impact protection as well. In the summer, wearing them keeps you cooler than wear pads at all, but they do air very well, which is one of the best things about them. I have been riding 40 to 50 mph with them for a month I ride about 50 miles per week on average, and now they are just another piece of gear that I put on before each ride. My motivation to pad up was after observing a friend tear up his arm, which resulted in five internal stitches and eleven It would have been easier to avoid that doctor's visit if some pads had been available. Breathability is a great feature of a mattress. Contrary to traditional knee pads, the side opposite the pad has a full sleeve (instead of straps above and below the joint), but the material still flexes Their only problem is when they have a lot of sweat on their bodies. There is even a chance of slippage on really rough terrain, though it occurs less frequently. grippers in the inside are made of neoprene so they adhere well to Keeping the backpack in place is facilitated by cinch straps. The movement of the arm is nice. As well as the elbow pads, I bought the matching wrist wrap. There is no difference between a rating and a review.

As soon as I loosened the Velcro strap all the way the next day, they felt fantastic
5/5

I believe this was because the Velcro straps were too tight. During the whole process, they also remained perfectly in place. Recently I put the knee pads through the ringer at Moab during a long weekend. They are my first set of knee pads for biking. I began to get a soreness over my hamstring tendon due to rubbing. As soon as I loosened the Velcro strap all the way the next day, they felt fantastic. I believe this was because the Velcro straps were too tight. The strap was also able to stay as loose as possible, so they stayed perfectly in place! It would be unfair to say that I "forgot" they were there, but they did not hinder my progress. This pad is on the thin side of pads. It's suitable for cross-country or trail running. If you are looking for DH protection, I would recommend something else as these might prevent any skin donations in the event of a crash. The medium fits well on me, even though I am 5' 11", 155 pounds, and have athletic/muscular thighs (but I am not a weight trainer).

It also pinches behind my knee, which I'm not a fan of
3/5

In this case, I could not decide whether to get the medium or the small. I probably would have chosen the medium. I would have kept them if I had. It felt like they were very heavy and substantial. In the end, I wanted knee pads that were low-profile and which I could wear all day long. It also pinches behind my knee, which I'm not a fan of. Dianese Trail skins have no material underneath the knee, so these are the ones I will be using. A pair of G Force low profile runners are another option I am considering. I am 5'7" and weigh.
