Strengths:
Really really cumfy dont even think about them when there on
don't slip down at all ever! never! Good hard knee impact protection
straps don't rub/hurt , really good shin protection
These are my third pair of Dainese , I was going to give up on them until I put them on at LBS paid for them on the spot.
I was actually going to buy the Lopes but they don't stay up as well and I didn't like the idea of having two parts to a knee gaurd , recipe for FAIL when you get to the trail head and find half missing or after the ride and it ends up in your mates truck rendering them useless.
They have really improved over the old gray models the extra length with the rubber thing at the base completely stops them from slipping down while also giving extra protection for your shin.
The only down side is you have to take your shoes on/off to use these but it is not an issue as they are so comfortable you could walk around in them all day and this design really helps with them staying put.
Black looks really good , velcro improved.
Just be careful with the knee sock if you are really rough with them you can tear the webbing , worth looking after they will last for ages
Have the bottom stap tight the middle just firm and the top velcro frim and they will stay up longer than your grandad on viagra.
