Review on Leatt Hybrid Guards Large X Large by Brian Cheney

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Ideal knee and shin protection for mountain biking!

I've had several mountain bike crashes with it and thanks to these pads I haven't had a scratch on my feet. It also prevents pedal cuts! I used to have padded knee pads but they tended to slip off my feet while riding or tighten if my knees slid over mud or rocks exposing my knees. Leatt 3DF Hybrid EXT pads do not have these problems. They're a bit bulkier but offer protection where the overlay pads fail. When I start skating, I don't even notice it. I felt like the slip ons were a lot bigger while riding when they slipped off my knee and I kept having to remind myself to put them back on. 5 stars for excellent driving protection!

Pros
  • New non-slip calf strap and silicone grip pads
Cons
  • Cord is shorter than others
