Strengths: Protects the shinWeaknesses: Doesn't protect the knee at all, unless you're just sliding down the hill feet first. I went over the handlebars a once (not very fast) and I was going hands and head first and my knees got scraped up. I crashed sideways, then my knee got scraped up. It's like the covers over the knees it not there.Bottom Line: If you bought them and haven't wrecked and you don't want your knees to be scraped up. SELL THEM and get something else!

Strengths: Light, CheapWeaknesses: Slipping down no matter what.Bottom Line: I'm about to purchase the Lizard Skins and give them a shot. THese haven't worked well and are a constant distraction when I ride tech terrain. A buddy has the same problem. Someone needs to make a basic, minimalist simple knee protector that's not for the DH set, but for the 40 something dude occasional riding iffy terrain.;

Strengths: Quick to take on and offWeaknesses: SLIDING..These pads definitely slide down over your kneecaps,leaving them pretty much exposed.It only takes a couple of minutes actual pedaling before they've moved.Bottom Line: They seem fairly comfortable although they get a bit hot.The only reason I would'nt buy these again is due to the slipping/moving that occurs,what good is a knee pad that does'nt protect your knee??

Strengths: Solid, good protection, protects at the rear and have saved me on a few occasions.Weaknesses: Move around a bit, strap behind the knee rarely stays done up and they do get pretty warm.Bottom Line: Not bad pads for the price I payed although I probably wouldn't recommend them to anybody.

from San Luis ObispoDate Reviewed: July 6, 2007
Strengths: Lite, simpleWeaknesses: Everything that mattersBottom Line: These things were terrbile. First and only ride with them was an urban ride. They dropped down after a few pedals. First thing I did was race down a parking garage. front end washed out, fell, scraped up my knee because the guared fell down. Never used again, I borrow my roomate's race guards and they seem to stay put much better and protect more. Probably going to buy them instead...
