Faith hurts It's torture

Very painful. The whole journey pinches in the hollow of the knee. If you don't want to hurt yourself, buy it. And the size is terrible too. I returned it and bought a Raceface, expensive but worth it.

Pros
  • Cool
Cons
  • I don't remember but something happened

Really uncomfortable due to poor design, otherwise it's a good concept

As other reviewers have pointed out, it's really uncomfortable on the back of the knee. I think this is because the edges of the belt are uncomfortable and end up chafing against the skin. Maybe you'll be lucky if you get a better device or have tougher skin :-)

Pros
  • nice touch
Cons
  • there are issues

Very uncomfortable to wear

Tried to wear, bought small and medium, one for my son, one for me. Both of us could barely stand in it after only 3 miles.

Pros
  • Sequins
Cons
  • Speed

Your best investment

There is nothing better on the market. These knee pads are really comfortable and you can easily tie them with their velcro system. I used them continuously for 4-5 hours and they never slipped while downloading and they collapsed on a hill and fell on a rock up to my knee, I thought I broke my knee or something. Magically I didn't even have a scratch, they absorb the impact amazingly well, they saved me a few bucks in hospitals and a few days of convalescence. A plus is their shin guard, this…

Pros
  • It's amazing
Cons
  • Some mistakes
