“I’ve not fallen off using these yet, but there does seem to be a nice strong piece of padding in front of the knee. Similar density to what you find in a motorcycle jacket I guess.
I purchased the ZIP knee guards only, as I wanted to be able to remove them when resting on long rides without having to remove l my shoes.
They slide on easy enough, but if you’re zipping them up they require a bit of effort to hold it together to allow the zipper to move. Pretty comfy though otherwise, the inside of the leg (top and bottom) has a rubber/silicone strip that holds onto your leg to stop it from sliding up or down (which doesn’t pull on leg hairs for the boys).
It also has a super stretchy elastic strap that runs behind your knee to adjust the fit.
The only negative I’ve found is that their sizes run small - when ordering I recommend going a size up from what is recommended on their size guide as I had to swap mine for a larger set.”
“These feel very comfortable and don't make you sense that you have too much padding. They look great and double up as knee support - I have a dodgy knee from playing too much soccer - With a grey pair of shorts, they are completely inconspicuous. With a zipper on the side, they zip off quickly, though you're not able to zip them on too easily and best to zip them up first and wear them on like you pull up your socks. Of course, they are for safety, protecting my knees from the dreadful pavement if I ever need to fall, and not for knee support or looks, so I haven't yet fallen while wearing these, I hope that I never do. But you can never be so sure! A bit pricey but at what price do you place on these in the case I ever do fall.”
