Description
Nobody likes wearing bulky pads. They're uncomfortable, sweaty, and you probably won't want to wear them very often so they won't do you much good.
These slip-on knee sleeves are Dakine's lightest, lowest-profile, and most breathable pad so you won't have to battle with straps, and they'll pretty much feel like a cosy knee warmer once you put them on. The great thing is that they also more than pull their weight in the protection department with a CE certified insert and side protection and they're treated with Polygiene odour control tech so they won't get stanky too quickly..
With perforated DK Impact energy-absorbing foam technology, Cordura abrasion protection, and a pre-curved ergonomic fit these pads will save your skin if/when things go wrong out on the trail.
Who's this item for: These are a great choice for anyone looking for a low-profile knee pad for any kind of riding.
Protection Style: These are a slip-on soft shell pad. They rely on being sized correctly to work and will be soft and comfortable enough to pedal around in all day.
Materials: 100% nylon with Cordura abrasion resistant shell. Silicone grippers help them to stay in place.
Closure or Slip-on: These are a slip-on style pad so they don't have any straps.
Length of knee pad: The pads will cover a few inches above and below the knee cap.
Protection level: These pads offer light to moderate protection against impact and abrasion.
Removable protective inserts for washing: No, the pads aren't removable.
Pros: Light breathable design is comfortable and low-profile so you'll be be able to pedal around in them all day. Good compromise between protection and comfort.
Cons: Sizing is crucial. If you don't get it right they'll tend to slide down if they're too big, or be too uncomfortable if they're too small.
