Lost a bunch of knee skin last week from a fall. Looking for recommendations for knee pads that wont slip (sweaty dude) and aren't to bulky as I mostly ride XC trails (Allaire, clayton, 6 Mile)
I used to use G-Form. Although they fit fine and comfortable, they don't breath as well as I'd like so I've switched to Leatt Airflex. They're just as comfortable and as the name implies, it breaths really well.
I was just going to post this.....I picked up a set of these last week. Comfortable, and so far they havent moved on me.I've switched to Leatt Airflex
Or hasn't tried multiple types. It's the same thing in any advise thread. "Hey I use XXX so you should too. I've never tried anything else to compare it to."this whole thread is going to contradict itself since everyone has different preferences and needs and likes/dislikes
that said i tried a set of gforms and the damn things never stayed put where they needed to be, do not recommend. but if you would like to try a pair id sell my lightly used set fairly cheap, ill check the size if your interesed.
i ended up settling on a set of troy lee pads with velcro top and bottom which stay put better.
Lol . This is one area that I just don't care much about or put much thought into. I think I settled on fox enduro knee pads , very minimal , there comfortable and fit me well . Half my dh laps last year were done wearing zero pads lol . It was a pretty hot summerI want the advise of someone like @Ryan.P that I'm sure has gone off the deep end and has an entire closet of knee pads.
