from oakland, ca Date Reviewed: March 4, 2007 Strengths: Light, comfortable when positioned right Weaknesses: after 3 pedal rotations they have slipped down where they offer little protection. Straps are WAY to long, and do not provide a good fit at all. Very uncomfortable after the knee guard slips down below my knee (happens EVERY time). piece of cloth between knee guard and upper velcro strap ripped on both.

from San Diego Date Reviewed: March 21, 2005 Strengths: None, well... at least you think you're protected. Weaknesses: Slip and slide constantly. Knee strap? What knee strap, oh a little stretchy piece of spandex with velcro. Shin strap? Oh, it's about to feet long. Worst design ever.

from Mount Kisco, NY USA Date Reviewed: September 16, 2004 Strengths: These padsfit very well and have a good amount of adjustments that I didn't expect (the top spandex that grips your thigh has two velcro sections to control). I've ridden them on three cross country rides (75-80 degrees) and I quickly forgot they were there. Weaknesses: Make sure you order the right size, I could see ordering too big and they would strike the top of your foot.

from So. Cal, USA Date Reviewed: June 30, 2004 Strengths: Since some posters obviously didn't actually use the product, tested or demo'ed only -HUH!!!, I'll give a real review of the strengths. Construction - Top notch Materials - Comfortable & durable Protection - Perfect. The cups are very strong and the strpas do a great job of holding everything in place in a crash. Fit is great. However, keep in mind that everyone is different and no armour can fit everyone perfectly. Customer Service - Top notch. The guys at RG tell it like it is and keep it real. Even if it doesn't benefit them. No BS. Weaknesses: Doesn't clean itself?? Doesn't protect against stupidity. It's armour people, not a replacement for intellegence. Use your brains. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Anything pointing down Duration Product Used: 2 Years Price Paid: $55.00 Purchased At: Direct Sale Similar Products Used: Roach, 661, Fox, AXO. Bike Setup: 03 BIG HIT XXXprt & 03 Monster T w/ Kenda Tires and PUSH'd Vanilla RC.

from Dallas, TX Date Reviewed: June 26, 2004 Strengths: While most of these reviews are positive, I can only say this product is better than nothing. The build quality is simply "okay." Weaknesses: Poor design compared to what similarly priced competing products offer in terms of protection. Specifically, this product offers no protection to the sides of your kneecap, and I was concerned that the knee guard would easily slide to one side in the event of a hard crash. You have to put your foot through the lycra section, which is also easily damaged by velcro sticking to it.

from AZ Date Reviewed: April 25, 2004 Strengths: I usually like to wiat at least a month to review something new, but I've wanted to sing the praises for this fine product since my firt ride with them! Surprisingly good airflow, comfortable for what they are (no pad always feels better than any pad, but no broken bones feels better than no pad), excellent strapping system... Weaknesses: None with product! Rockgardens fit guide is a little suspect. My pads are definitly a little big and have to be tightened down to stay put - which they do now! If on the lower 15% of thier size scale, I'd jump DOWN a szie.
