The protectors have been impact-tested and approved to CE EN1621-1:2012 to ensure a high level of protection.Internal silicon gripper bands are used at the upper and lower opening of the pads and strategically placed straps at the upper calf muscle and at the thigh help to prevent the pad from slipping down during use.Who's this item for: Riders of all levels and disciplines looking for a low-profile, lightweight knee guard.

We recommend pulling up knee pads from the top and bottom of the pad with care, in a way that avoids stretching the mesh or damaging the stitching.
