Troy Lee Designs' Raid pads are its gravity-oriented, most-protective set of knee pads. The main question arise: does this protection come at the cost of comfort?
Are they machine washable? Main downside of a lot of the d30 style pads, knee pads you can't wash are pish tbh
No, they aren’t, I tend to hose mine down whenever I wash the bike.
they do survive very occasional accidental trip through the machine though.

Is that true? I've bene putting my d30 pads through the wash for years. Never read the instructions I guess. They still look and feel like the day I bought them. 30C max though.
Yeah original D30 at least was not supposed to be machine washed and apparently the material could be "killed" if you treated it wrong and it'd stop custarding, same with POC Dough and some others. But some are allowed at low temps, you've just got to check with the manufacturer or label (but I don't think any of mine actually had anything useful on the label or packaging)
Or there's the removable pads option sometimes but that's a pain in the dick too, they never seem to go back in right
