Fox RacingFox Racing Enduro D3O Mountain Biking Knee Guard, Large

Protection is very good and pedal efficiency is very good.

These are great pads to protect you but not cook you, out in the trails. Fit under all my MTB clothing and aren’t bulky or restrictive. The removable pad makes them a breeze to wash or just leave the pad in and wash and hang to dry.

If not a question of if you will go down, but when. They don't limit knee movement. Good protection

I’ve ridden with these a few times down some mountain bike trails at a ski mountain. They are comfortable and don’t get in the way of riding

I've been mountain biking for five years and haven't really pushed my limits beyond basic jumps. I enjoyed riding my MTB, and have longed to challenge myself more.I discovered a new trail a few weeks ago up at my local ski lift, and near the end of my ride, I took a tumble off my bike coming down a big berm. I have always wondered how people fall on their knees when they crash their bike. I found out that day. Both knees hit the ground when I landed.My left knee got it on the inside, and I ended up with a big purple bruise there a few days later. The right knee got cut on my patella. Thankfully, I walked away with no major injuries. However, the incident prompted me to come home and research and order knee guards.I assumed gear like this was meant for hardcore riders, but after doing some research, I discovered a lot of people opt to ride with knee protection. Cool. I didn't feel like such a poser after all.I watched several YouTube videos and decided to order these. I'm very happy with them. I rode for an hour and had no issues with irritation on the back of the knees. They are hot though. I ride in 60 degree F weather most of the time, so it's not that big of of deal. If you're riding in anything warmer than that, these might be a bit much.The real test will be crashing in them. While I obviously don't want to get injured, I realize that falling is a part of pushing your limits and ultimately improving your skills on the bike. Wearing these gives me more confidence to see what I can do.Lastly, the size chart had me at an XL, but I decided to order a large and they're perfect. I ordered down simply because I think over time, the fabric will stretch out and I didn't want them to slip down. Happy riding!

I use these whenever on single track. Have washed a corner and accidentally detoured off off log bridge with these and they helped. Protect yourself! It’s taken me to the age of 39 to finally understand. Ha

Just the right amount of protection and stay in place. Very comfortable and probably no way to make them cooler.
