NOT SUITABLE FOR EUC best for motorcycles and powersports

You will see a lot of people buying this for EUC but let me tell you why it doesn't work imo. I rode in them at least 3 hours continuously in EUC. The fact that you're standing means they'll slip off no matter how tight you zip or what type of pants you're wearing. You can modify it by drilling holes and criss-crossing, but I prefer not to. They are intended for sitting, in which case they work very well. They work best for bent knees. You just can't stand with them. Most EUC riders have slightly bent knees, but even that isn't enough. The top rests on your knees unless you bend your knees too much, almost in a seated position. Even if you use power pads or other pads that require you to push your knees forward, shin lifts will work. on road. This makes it difficult to feel how much pressure your knee is putting on your kneecaps, and it can also become uncomfortable. I ended up going back to regular knee pads. At these prices, the discomfort of EUC driving isn't worth it. Otherwise they look and feel very high quality and are great for cycling.
