They (in theory) protect your knees and shins | | Weaknesses: |
They don't work. First off they creep down while riding. In an effort to keep them in place i wear them over my DH pants and they still creep down. Lastly they broke. The knee pad sperated from the shin leaving me with no armor and no money. | | Similar Products Used: |

FSR w/ Xvert carbon | | Bottom Line: | I feel burned on buying them but they were only $25 bucks from a friend. Still I would never buy them again | | Overall Rating: |

Protection - don't feel pedal bites, I have run and slid onto my knees in them and no pain is felt, awesome protection
Light
Don't restrict movement
Looks good | | Weaknesses: |
Fit - they have a tendancy to slide down, but adding extra velcro tabs allowed me to adjust them tighter and they feel sweet
Heat, a little hot but who cares for a 4 minute dh run | | Similar Products Used: |

1 Year | | Strengths: |
smacked my Cycle Design pedals into my shins, left cuts. Bought these, did it again, no pain at all. No blood at all. No bull, man. These are well reinforced in front.
They sit right on your shin. They won't come off. BUT... | | Weaknesses: |
They have a tendancy to slide down. What a pain.
Also, the patellar strap falls into the crook of the knee, very uncomfortable.
I slid on the dirt, they scratched up.
Lastly, I broke a pair. | | Similar Products Used: |
Levi's jeans | | Bike Setup: |
Surreal slalom bike. What's it to you? | | Bottom Line: | Qranc got me a new pair of guards 11 days after I broke them. I like their customer service. If they ever make use of that little slot on top of the knee plate for tibial armor, I'm getting it. I don't want a big gash in my leg, and besides, I'm getting tired of pulling up my armor. Oh, yeah, did I mention that it's hotter than hades? | Overall Rating: |
