What kneepads do you lot reccomend?
I have some Kyle Straits at present but they are a bit bulky and that horrid brown colour.
Need something a bit slimmer but will manage in the alps this summer!
As well as everyday trail riding,
Cheers all

To be fair, I wouldn't want to go much slimmer than Kyle Straits. They are not THE best protection as it is(I use them)
Get some black ones... ๐Ÿ™‚
Unless you get veggie knees, I doubt you'll get much slimmer and then you may aswell be wearing just your trousers...

Troy Lee KG 5400s for a nice lightweight and secure knee pad.

I've a pair of Endura MT500s that are almost 'invisible'...that is I do not know they are on after a couple of minutes.

Much better than my pair of Dianese knee and shin pads for XC type riding but come into their own an a DH course such a Cwmcarn.

So, you may need bioh types.

+1 for the Troy lee's, very comfy and no slippage, minimal cover on shins though.
