  • Awesome knee pads
Size: M Color: Uranium Black
Really comfortable, I dont find it obstructs my range of motion when pedaling even when sitting with the seat down. build quality seems very nice, these make me a lot more confident on the trail and I'm not scared to fall knowing I will be protected.

  • Great Protection and Comfortable
Size: M Color: Uranium Black
I tried both the large and medium to get the proper fit. POC's site fitting guide suggested the large but it just didn't feel like it would stay on in the event of a fall, it was loose fitting so I kept the medium and send back the large. The quality of the materials is top notch and the POC logo is prominent. The padded material is 1/4 inch thick and fairly stiff at first before warming up on the knee, the protection extends to the side of knee protecting the medial and anterior meniscus a bit, which after two surgeries this year I wanted more protection at the inside of the knee. The VDP material hardens on impact and absorbs a large amount of energy according to POC. These are probably best suited for single track riding for a moderate fall of the bike, any protection is better than none. Doing crazy descents? I would opt for the thicker hard shelled models. I'm combining these with some G-Form Shin (similar tech) pad and they work together great. I have only a couple of short rides with them but they were comfortable and as with anything new it will take some getting used to. I was using McDavid Hex knee pads before these but they lack the impact protection of the POC's, although they are light enough to throw in the pack and if needed can go over the POC's to add some protection if the situation requires it. These would also be great for hunters or any activities that require you to kneel for short periods of time on those aging knees. ... show more

  • A good product
Size: M Color: Uranium Black
Give the critical reviews of knee pads in general, I was cautious about the purchase. Even so, I’m happy with my decision to buy. I’ll offer a few impressions and suggestions. I’m 5’10”, 177 lbs, and not possessed with tree-trunk-sized legs. The mediums fit fine. I haven’t crashed so cannot comment on post-crash durability although the abundant level of thickness and padding does inspire confidence against knee injury. I usually wear them on 7-20 mile rides and don’t experience any binding at the backs of my knees. I also will, on occasion, slip them down from my knees and wear them around ankles when on prolonged ‘flats’ rides, then stop and pull them up when nearing the descents since, these trail portions are somewhat spaced apart in my riding areas. This method allows the knees to breath and if you are worried about sun tan lines, it fixes that, too. I’ve also worn them in non-humid, 90 degree heat and don’t experience any discomfort levels. So, overall, a good buy when knee protection is the desired aim. If I could make one cost-saving suggestion to the manufacture it would be this: Incongruous as it may seem, this product comes packaged in an incredibly elegant box suitable for Tiffany window display on Michigan Ave, Chicago. Reduce the box glamour and pass the savings along to the customer. ... show more

  • Pedal freindly, lightweight knee pads
Size: M Color: Uranium Black
These knee pads are lightweight and pedal friendly, so I'm able to ride for hours without them causing any significant issues or sliding down. I haven't crashed in them so I can't speak to the impact protection, but they seem decent for the weight. I have one main complaint though- they don't go far enough above the knee. They only go maybe 1-2 inches, and the rubber that keeps them from sliding down (it works well) is only in the front, so the BACK, right where the (relatively) rough stitching in the material is, has a tendency to start sliding down right into the back of the knee where it grinds the skin up. This isn't a huge issue, but it's something that some extra rubber would have easily fixed. Something to note- don't be surprised at how bad they feel at first. These are shaped for RIDING, not walking, and when standing up they kind bunch up and stick out a bit and feel pretty bad. With the knees bent, they feel pretty good though. Make sure to follow their sizing guide. I'm normally an XL or even XXL in a lot of clothing items, so I was super surprised that I wear a MEDIUM in these. I was kinda on the edge of medium and large on their chart, and I'm glad I sized down because it isn't too tight and much looser, it would be falling down. ... show more

  • Amazing knee pads for trail riding
Size: S Color: Uranium Black
My local trails are a lot of short steep climbing followed by downhill sections. These knee pads offer plenty of protection for everyday trail riding. Ive already fallen on them two separate times. First time was a pretty decent fall and I walked away with my knees unharmed. My forearm on the other hand....like a cheese grater(since have added protection there too). The fit is great; I followed the recommended measurements by POC. They dont slide around or come off during a crash. They also dont hinder your riding. I will say that when you first put them on they are slightly stiff but once they warm up from your body heat they mold right to your knee. I honestly dont even notice I have them on when I ride. That is until after a crash and you realize they saved your knees. I like these so much I wear them even when I ride a local park that is mostly pump, flow, and singletrack. ... show more

  • Not noticable
Size: L Color: Uranium Black
Bought these to replace my falling apart O'Neil light pads (I also recommend), used them a couple times on small 10 mile rides and for an 24hr Enduro race. Didn't notice them at all. They stayed up, we're comfortable, and gave me good peace of mind. I haven't taken any spills thankfully. Certainly not for big air riding but criss country to decent mountain biking I totally recommend! Sizing was true to fit. I don't think of myself having large legs for a girl but compared to guys little leggies I guess I'd agree that I have large legs. For sure measure your legs. ... show more

  • Saved My Knees
Size: L Color: Uranium Black
5 star protection took a washout spill off a ridge and fell a meter onto some rocks. Only 2 points of contact not bruised, those covered by these pads. That’s saying something now that I’m in my 30’s. Plus I don’t even notice them while riding, they’re so breathable.

  • Quality Pads
Size: M Color: Uranium Black
First and foremost I feel protection provided from these CE 1 pads are perfect if your riding is overall trail and technical MTB rides. Well made, high quality, good design. Stays put with hours of pedaling. Breathable for what they are and I can wear them under long pants if I want to.
