RockGardn Landing Zone Knee-Shin Armor and Pads
Product DescriptionOrganic Hinge™ construction: The bottom of the knee cap, and the top of the shin plate are not sewn directly on to the main pad, but rather are joined together with nylon webbing. This allows the shin to move independently from the knee, offering a smooth range of motion. Shin impact and exhaust porting: an added strip of protective foam is adhered to the shin plate before it is sewn to the main pad. This effectively doubles the padding over the shin bones, and also slightly lifts the shin plate off of the main pad, to allow heat and perspiration to escape through the top Hidden ABS plastic beneath the Velcro of the thigh cuff to resist the cuff lifting off of the leg. Double padding at the center of the kneecap All Velcro tabs are perimeter and “X” stitched for durability. Thick, perforated EVA padding to keep you cool. Extremely lightweight Adult size

from Seattle Date Reviewed: July 9, 2006 Strengths: When I first got these pads I thought that they would be rediculously hot and uncomfortable. Was I ever wrong. Now I put them on and they are like a second skin! My confidence is up and I am willing to go faster than ever before. I've read that other pads move around and are not there to protect you when you need it - not so with these pads. They have a much larger protection area than my friends' 661 pads and I am able to put my RockGardn pads on easier thanks to the great "buckle" setup. Weaknesses: It's a velcro jungle! (not really a minus) Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: all of them Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $55.00 Purchased At: rockgardn.com Similar Products Used: None Bike Setup: Nomad w/ Z-1 Sport and DHX 5.0 Coil

from Orangevale, CA, USA Date Reviewed: January 30, 2006 Strengths: Wow, these DO NOT MOVE! They don't slide down, they don't twist, they don't come undone, they don't move. And, they are very comfortable and offer more coverage than any knee/shin guard I have used. The unique above the knee strapping system doesn't bind behind the knee like some pads, and there is minimal to non existant pedaling interference. These are burly! Weaknesses: none yet.
