Submitted by Bill a from Brooklyn, NY

Date Reviewed: April 5, 2003

Strengths:    Simplicity of construction, materials and the fact that I've used them constantly for 8 years...I had to sew velcro onto the existing tabs because I outgrew them, but found no need to replace the pads.

Weaknesses:    They tend to get stinky after a summer of daily use without properly washing them - they are black neoprene after all, which means they get terribly hot.........but I'm not at all complaining.

Bottom Line:

Get these and forgo the padset that matches your frame that matches your helmet that matches your shoes that matches your jersey and whatnot - they will last forever, and they leave cool looking ovals on your leg from where the vents touch.

Strengths:    durability is exellent had them for like 6 years still holding up ,comfort and fit is second to none

Bottom Line:

if you want a good line of pads without the high price and the crap these are it ,the comfort is top rate and the protection is there.Eventually you`ll forget you have them on ,and hey isn`t that what riding is all about ,not getting hurt and staying on the bike ! enjoy !

Submitted by Jason Glaspey a Downhiller from Eugene, OR

Date Reviewed: August 13, 2001

Strengths:    Everything. I've never had a problem, once in many years of riding. I've slammed hard on all types of surfaces, and had my pedals dig in so many times I can't remember. Never had a scratch on my pretty legs.

Weaknesses:    NONE!

Bottom Line:

I got these seven years ago when I was riding flatland and dirt jumping my bmx. I did a no footer and missed the pedal driving it around and into my shins. 9 stitches later, I bought these. The only time my shins have ever felt my pedal pins were when I was in too much of a hurry to put these on. I love these and now I never forget them, regardless of what kind of riding I'm doing.
