    POC System VPD... light, breathable, I put them on and forget about them until I need them. Not the most protective but I’ve fallen onto roots and rocks and only incurred very minor injury. Pedal all day, stay put, and way better than POCs other offerings in regards to comfort.

    I rock the G-Form knee& shin guards combined with Triple8 shin guards to cover lower legs.
    I agree Gforms are the most comfortable and coolest/air flow but unfortunately they do slide and move upon a side crash as u mentioned.
    My gf uses the Ixs assault and they dont move on crashes

    Dianese Trail Skins for me, they work great. They're good in between pads, though I do use them for DH frequently. Haven't tried the Trail Skin 2s yet, they look more G-formy, which isn't a bad thing.
    Fox Launch Enduro knee pads for XC rides when I feel I need some protection. I use the Launch Enduro elbow pads as well, but only when riding DH.

  • @toony_grant
    @toony_grant Před 6 lety +3

  • @Esteb858
    @Esteb858 Před 6 lety +120

    You should also mention that the RaceFace pads fully open up from the back so you can remove them without taking off your shoes. It seems like a silly detail to mention but it’s one of the things I like the most about those pads. After a hot long day of riding it’s really nice to be able to immediately take off the knee pads without having to take off your shoes. It also easier to carry these in you pack and slip them on for the downhill since you don’t have to take off your shoes.

    • @Primoz.r
      @Primoz.r Před 6 lety +2

    • @osvaldinho617
      @osvaldinho617 Před 6 lety

      In terms of comfort: Do you use them for 20 miles plus rides, too, or do you put them on for downhill only because of their size? Since they're open at the back, their ventilation doesn't look too bad either...

    • @Esteb858
      @Esteb858 Před 6 lety +4

      When I first got them I did use them on 20 plus mile rides without a problem but since they are easy to remove and put on without taking off your shoes, it's easy to strap them to your pack for the climb and then just put them on for the descents.

    I have a pair of Fox enduro pads I wear on pretty much every ride. They don't have the most impact protection, but they do great in a slide and that is all I really need them to do. I can also pedal all day in them without any issue. In my opinion the safest pads are the ones you are gong to wear.

  • @Oh_Sully23
    @Oh_Sully23 Před 6 lety +2

    FYI the sticky rubber strip is silicone. Sounds like a lot of the pads have non-newtonian materials in them these days. D3O were among the first to market such materials where the materials resistance to a force (ie impact) is dependent on the velocity of the force. Cool tech as it allows the pads to be flexy for easier pedalling (a slow force application) but the material stiffens up during an impact (fast force application) to give more energy absorption ability than regular foam of similar thickness.
    Human bone is non-newtonian to, but in the opposite manner. You can fracture a human bone with a much lower force if the force is applied slowly compared to applying the force quickly.

    I have used all the knee pads on this review. The best one is the G-form Pro knee pad on a 3 hour long ride. They all provide good protection but G-form does not cut you skin after a longer ride.

    @atomicdawg321 Před 4 lety

    I just bought a pair of G-Forms last week and did my first ride in them (or any kneepad) on a 21-miler. After the first five minutes, I didn't notice that I had them on. Thankfully, no crashes, so I didn't get to test out the protection aspect, but they are super comfortable. It was hot Saturday, and the ventilation seemed adequate.

  • @willsherman3527

    I'm amazed at how little attention there is to ankles and back of the shins. Every time I crash, or even when I don't crash that's where all the pain is. I started wearing these soccer shin guards that have padding around the sides by Storelli.

  • @175thStreet

    Thx for that! 👍 The Fox pads look interesting with that side protection :) I use the POC and love 'em. For rocky and rooty DH I use LEATT Hybrid (with shin pretection) though, as they combine hardening gel and a hardshell on top to slide off those rocks and roots. They stay well in place but are not the most comfy ones for pedalling ;) There is a knee-only version of the Hybrids that I'm curious about, how they feel on pedalling ;)

  • @reyv4242

  • @danytheunicorn95
    @danytheunicorn95 Před 5 lety +1

    I use well ventilated motocross pads because they are a third of the price and I love them. They are not comfy for pedalling tho so I only use them for the downhills, other than that they are pretty good and I combo them with shin pads which help them stay in place so neato magneto. Great video as always. have a nice day:)

  • @chumpmtb2554
    @chumpmtb2554 Před 6 lety +14

    I started using the G-form pads this year, after riding for 12 years without knee pads. Naturally, I went OTB with 2 tuck-n-rolls down some rock steps on my very 1st ride with them ;) Awesome protection! The biggest bonus is they fold up very small to stick in your pack for climbs, and are light weight as well. However, you should buy them to fit a bit tight, since they don't have straps, but after a few mins, I forget I'm wearing them

  • @BimmerDudeXi

      They are pretty true to size. Being a strap on one end and elastic gripper on the other, I'd be inclined to size down because the back is very stretchy.

Is something like that even sensible to wear? They don't look like offering much protection of anything.. Maybe i need something with a hard shell.. I pedal a lot so they gotta be flexible. Hmm. I just want basic protection for commuting and a bit through the woods. Nothing crazy. Any advise?

      i wouldn't trust the machine & the dryer for my cycling clothing and gears. i wash them manually, all are still good! the machines will eat your jerseys.

    Any advice on spine protection. I took a bad fall last year on my home trail and broke a few transverse vertebrae in my lower back. I have been injured badly a few times but these one really scared me. Any advice is welcome, thanks

      RaceFace has some cool D30 Foam protection undershirts. Check this one out. www.worldwidecyclery.com/products/raceface-flank-core-protection-black-lg?variant=894161953#

    • @Luca-ft1kv

      If u want serious spine protection then look at mx body armour, as it is made to withstand a lot more force. Things to look for are CE certifications on the armour pads themselves, not on the vest or whatever the armour sits in. Another good thing is D30 or any of its equivilants. Normally there a soft, gel like pad that hardens significantly upon impact. That means there comfy when ur riding but protective if u crash. U can just get a vest, which has back/chest plates only, or u could get a t shirt one, which normally has shoulder pads as well. I prefer the full jacket design, that has chest/back, shoulder, elbow and sometimes hip

      sorry to hear that bro, that sounds really scary. i fell off while fatbiking in the fall of 2017 and actually tore my right acl. i had surgery last march 2018 but now i'm all good. can't wait to go back fatbiking but now with kneepads for sure.

  • @ln663

    Wonder how the gform withstands crashes? The pad itself seems to need protection by itself given that the material used is exposed.

    • @WorldwideCyclery
      @WorldwideCyclery  Před 6 lety

      Pretty good to be honest, haven't seen many people with durability issues on the G forms. What kind of riding do you typically do?

    • @ln663
      @ln663 Před 6 lety

      Worldwide Cyclery nothing too serious when it comes to riding. I ride from xc up to enduro. Thing is you can’t predict what happens when you crash and where. I would hate to nick and rip a g form on rocks. Though I do like the cool and minimal looks of it

      G Form for sure, you won't even notice them. They are perfect for longer rides :)

    • @WorldwideCyclery

      G forms offer great protection and are super comfortable. They may slide a tad when you crash but that’s normal for knee pads :)

    I have the IXS & the Fox Launch pads. I love the IXS, I hate the Fox! Too big & bulky, and mega uncomfortable. Feels like it's digging into the back of my knee, and cutting off circulation in the calf! It may be good for downhill, but it is not good at all if you have to pedal! The IXS I can wear all day, and barely even notice them!

    • @huntstyle
      @huntstyle Před 5 lety

      The size is fine, it's the design.

    • @omichelini
      @omichelini Před 5 lety

      Do the IXS FLow Pads run true to size? I'm right in the middle between medium and large. I'm 6' tall, 167lbs. Do they give in a little (or maybe a lot)?

    • @huntstyle
      @huntstyle Před 5 lety +1

      They have a chart on their website, I believe. I just measured and ordered based off of that. Medium, I believe. They fit perfectly!

    • @omichelini
      @omichelini Před 5 lety

      Yes, I checked on that chart, in fact. And my lower leg measures exactly 42cm which is the boundary between Medium and Large! I was wondering if medium should be snug yet not too tight. I think I'm going with Medium.
