They feature a slip on design, meaning the whole knee is enclosed in a neoprene sleeve that offers more protection from small impacts and also prevents any chaffing from the X strap system.
The padding behind the knee guard is quite thin keeping the pad light and ensuring they don’t get too hot.
A popular choice among many riders it is easy to see why, just make sure you keep the top straps done up nice and tight otherwise the pad can be prone to a bit of slippage while riding. Not the pads fault, your own for not ensuring they are nice and snug!

His first mountain bike was a Trek 820, which he bought in 1990. It didn’t take him long to earn himself a trip to the hospital on it, and he’s never looked back since. These days he’s keeping it rubber side down, riding locally and overseas as much as possible.
