Very pleased with POC's for 'just riding around for the day' use

Watching this with interest.

Am looking for a pair of soft kneepads for the summer.

I'm using some G-Form pads - including elbow ones, since I smashed it up badly last summer.

The bright yellow ones ๐Ÿ˜€

The large size seems to fit my body well, and not move around.

Very happy with my Fox Launch knee pads, forget I have them on most of the time, comfy for several hours of riding.

I used to recommend 661 knee pads but my latest ones don't seem as comfy - definite chafing behind the knees after long rides. I'm hearing good things about POC and Oneal ones...

Got an Endura pair. Took them on a recent trip down Snowdon (first time I have worn pads, a bit nervous about the ride). Very comfy and did not rub, but size up as they are quite small.

Think they are MT500

I have 661 Kyle Straits. Very comfy, BUT:
How do you wash them? They're beginning to pong....

Washing machine, chuck in a pillow case if you're worried about them getting damaged.
