Review on Maximize Your Protection with 7iDP Flex Knee Guards by Dewitt Bhattacharya

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Withstood the test of time, better suited to tough trails

After 25 rides, countless machine washes and 10 hard falls they have held up very well. Riding them is quite comfortable for shorter rides (<10 miles) but once I move on to longer rides (20+) there is definitely some friction and discomfort. If you find your riding style to be 50% or more XC, then go for something less bulky (e.g. G-Form Pro-Slide knee pads, very happy with the 20+ mile pads). , or like to walk thick and clunky trails, they are perfect. They offer solid front and moderate lateral knee protection, do not slip in the event of a fall and allow you to choose your fit quite well with the 4 Velcro straps. They also had a very good time. I usually pedal, take off my shoes, put them on top once because they are bulky/warm for long trips. If you consider yourself an XC rider opt for the lighter G shapes if your main rides are more than XC type then these knee pads make a great companion.

Pros
  • Designed for maximum protection outside of CE EN 1621/1 standards
