Review on 🚵 POC Joint VPD Air Knee Pads: Lightweight Mountain Biking Armor for Men and Women - Enhanced Protection by John May

I love these pads. I bought these for abrasion protection, but they offer some impact protection. Obviously wearing them in the summer heat is hotter than not wearing pads at all, but they breathe very well. I wear them averaging 40-50 miles per week for a month and I'm so used to wearing them that it's just another piece of clothing I put on before every ride. My motivation for applying was seeing my partner fall and snap his arm resulting in 5 internal stitches and 11 external stitches. Some pads would prevent a visit to the doctor. Breathability is excellent. The side opposite the overlay is a full sleeve (instead of straps above/below the ankle) but the material flexes very well and doesn't bunch up. They only slip when they sweat profusely. Even then, slip is negligible and only occurs in really rough terrain. Neoprene handles on the inside adhere well to the skin. Drawstring straps help stay in place. Good freedom of movement. **I also bought matching elbow pads. Rating and rating match.**
