Pros - They fit well, and are comfortable and light. I am pleased they cover area above and below the knee.
Cons - I read the description of these knee pads before purchase, which includes the following description: 'They will protect you from fall-damage and abrasions, and give a 'mind-boggling level of protection'
I have to say I am staggered by how little impact protection (fall damage includes impact) they offer! There is virtually NOTHING to absorb impact energy, and if the knee slammed into the road, it would no doubt be broken! They offer some protection against road rash, but impact NO! Having been a speed skater for 54 years ice and inline, and hit the road and ice hard in the past, the description 'Mind boggling level of protection' is very misleading as far as impacts are concerned! In my opinion the description should have only said they protect from 'road rash, whereas it implies impact protection too! Overpriced for what limited protection they offer! |
