I really like my G-Form knee pads and have recommended them to various people along the way, mostly because they’re a good balance between comfort and protection and don’t cost the earth.

I seem to remember paying around £30 for the pair a few years back. Now I come to replace them as the material’s getting ripped, only to find it’s more like double that – £55 on their website.

Does anyone know of a stockist at a more reasonable price (and not the bright yellow ones please…)?

Got our last lot from ebay

I’d be (am) tempted to get the pads re-sown onto some knee warmers, as it’s the basic flimsy Lycra sock that is the weak point of G forms. 15-20 quid for a pair of warmers and a fiver at your local seamstress/repair shop?

Bliss pads?

trail skins, g-form don’t even pass the basic impact test.

Thanks for the recommendation. What is the basic impact test, is this something official or just a turn of phrase?

ive had a guy at work crack my legs with a bar if 17-4 while wearing g forms and i would say they are good.

not as comfy as my fox enduros but the fox ones are rubbish protection.

Armor? Never read beyond that.

If I wanted to get all stromtroopered up I would, I just want something light and unobtrusive. I like Bliss pads and they have been fine for me.

??????????????????

Bliss pads are EN-1621-2 CE Level 1 rated

I know it really wasn’t the reason I bought them though. If the OP wants gform pads that’s fine but don’t pass on your hatred of them.

eh? what drugs are you on.

same speech over a yr ago.

Is it that they don’t pass the test or haven’t been submitted for the test? Regardless I wouldn’t otherwise wear pads so better than nothing. Only downside is the sleeves as mentioned and if you’re unlucky enough to get a sharp Stone between the mouldings.
