Leatt Airflex Pro Knee Guards-Black-L: Ultimate Protection and Flexibility for Extreme Sports Review

Super comfortable, you don't even feel them while riding. Very handy for pedals! The size chart is about 1/2 size larger. I'm 185 pounds, 5ft 11" and wear a large. My wife is 4ft 10" and 108lbs and wears a medium. I can wear medium too. I suspect that in the long run, if they stretch a little, the medium might suit me better.

Every time I wear these pads, even on the hottest, wettest days of South Florida summer, I forget I'm wearing them. They stay in your lap and give you confidence when doing technical sections or jumps. If you ride aggressive flat pedals they can catch on material on the back of the pad and leave small tears, but that's to be expected. Overall, I'll definitely be buying them again in a few years when my current ones wear out.

I really wanted them to like them more than me. They are very light, you can feel the wind through them. They'll probably prevent some injuries in a fall, but I don't find them super comfortable. They fit my feet but seem to roll up and down a lot. The knee pad is not very comfortable. I actually prefer to pedal with my old ixs flow+ knee pads. I will most likely return to them when they wear out, which based on the reviews of the Lehmwolf YouTube channel will likely last a season or less.

I have no issues with the pads themselves. They appear well made and durable. My problem is that according to the size chart they were too small for me. I ordered XL and my thigh size is 19 3/8 inches, 3-4 inches above the knee and 16 inches at the calf. These are fine within the size range, but I found them so tight that circulation was cut off. I would say that you should aim for the size that fits the smallest part of the measurement. I will go back and look for an XXL replacement.

I was looking for a well fitting, comfortable knee pad for mountain biking. I'm an average experienced rider and mostly ride blue singletrack with lots of obstacles, trees, rocks etc. I don't ride mountain trails so I didn't feel the need to use a super hard knee brace. No problems at all after the first few rides. I would say the pads are true to size. They feel comfortable for the first few minutes, but as soon as I rode I forgot I had them on and after an hour's ride on a warm, humid day I…

I disagree with these pads because they are very thin and don't look like they could take a direct hit. On the other hand, they also completely cover the knees on the sides. Actually, I was looking for something much more protective and heavier. If you're looking for lightweight pads that can offer you some protection, these are for you. They stay in place, comfortable and fresh. A few weeks ago I fell and they left scratches on my knee. Personally I would go for the POC VPD 2.0, I have the…

I am an avid mountain biker (age 10+) and avoid wearing knee pads because they are uncomfortable, sweaty and generally uncomfortable to wear. After a couple of bad accidents earlier this year that left my knee swollen and kept me from cycling for weeks, I decided to try Leatt Airflex Pro Knee Pads. If you're considering them, buy them. I have about a dozen 1-2 hour rides and a few 4+ hour rides and all I can say is that after about 5 minutes I forget I'm even wearing pads! They are comfortable,

I may have gone a little crazy and tried about 10 different knee pads and these were probably the ones I was least worried about when I first started looking, but they ended up being the most comfortable knee pads from all. She. After riding a few hundred miles in them I can say these are the best pads I have ever had and I happily reach for them on every ride (except DH/resort ride days or shuttle laps). They breathe very well when you're going downhill and are very comfortable to pedal…

I'm almost 6ft and about 170 surprisingly my height is large. Being thin I assumed a medium would fit best but decided to trust the measurements. They're a little tight, but not uncomfortable. As soon as I received them I wore them at home for about 2 hours and they are very comfortable. After that I measured my legs where they left marks above and below the knee. I could go up to XL which is weird. I took her on a walk of about 14 miles that took about 1 hour and 40 minutes. The pads are very…
