I am after some kneepads as my old ones are falling apart. Ordered a selection from CRC and am suprised at how minimalist the Dainese Trail Skins are. I wondered if any one has had a decent off wearing them and how well they protected.
I am wondering if they are robust enough if I had an off on a nice natural rocky Peak district style descent like the Beast or the such (that's about as hardcore as I go at the moment)
Anyone?
Had a pair for a few weeks now. Had a couple of fairly decent crashes and they protected me very well indeed. I have no qualms about using them in the Peaks and did so recently with no worries. The next time I visit the Brenin to do the Beast I'll be wearing them too.
I am very happy with them as they don't get anywhere as hot as my old 661 Evo pads and when you get rolling after a climb you can feel the air coming through them which really is quite nice 🙂
Wholehearted recommendation from me, I am taking them to the Alps in a couple of weeks time.
i can vouch for their comfiness. did a very hot enduro at grogley on sunday in them. much more comfortable than my POC's
I haven't crashed in them yet so no idea how useful they are, I generally don't wear knee pads so I guess they'll be better than that...
Thanks - I tried them on and then pretended to be a Thai Boxer and attacked a filing cabinet in the office and they seemed pretty good especially at under half the price of a pair of POCs!
I've not crashed mine but again can vouch for their comfort. My other pads, Fox Launch Pro, which I use for proper DH, are more comfortable but alot hotter.
