[Closed] Which Knee pads for XC and trail centre riding

I use POC Joint VPD Knees and find them pretty comfortable and reasonably tough. I previously used Race Face Rally FR kneepads but I eventually wore my original pair out and the replacements fitted differently and rubbed badly. Since I moved to the VPD pads I haven't been particularly bothered by the loss of the shin guards.

I can recommend Endura MT500 pads for when you know you'll crash :oops:and gform when you might crash. 😕

+1 for Endura MT500s.

Got mine 'free' with a 6 month subscription to WMB for £21 last November.

They work, keep my knees warm this weather and are not noticable after the first 2-3 minutes of riding.

northwind, i'm not mis leading anyone it's my own experience and opinion

That soft pads offer no more protection than arm warmers? Seriously? Honestly from most people I'd assume you're on a troll. They won't stop a sharp rock or a hard edge as well as a hard pad but there's still a substantial amount of protection there. Or at least, there is with well designed pads.

If you like, we can do a test- you can put on knee warmers, I'll put on kyle straits, we can take turns falling on our knees or kneeing shifters, see who cries uncle first 😉
