POCJoint VPD Air Knee(Return to Product Page)

Was looking for a lightweight, breathable pad and this fit the bill - I like how the pad wraps around the side a bit to offer a little side protection which I think is needed in a knee pad. It's pretty minimalist, really geared toward the type of trail riding I do, probably not the best for downhill but should offer enough protection on a spill in a rock garden. Large pads usually fit me well and these do but I have the strap loosened all the way so could be snug for some. All in all very comfortable to pedal in and seems to have adequate protection.

I ordered the medium size. At first, I thought they were too snug but gave them some time and they loosened just enough. Now I only notice a bit on long climbs or when some debris gets into the top and rubs a bit. Otherwise they are great and I would likely buy again when these wear out. They only provide a moderate amount of protection, but that is what I wanted, something that is comfortable enough that I would wear them every ride.

These are my go-to Kees/Elbows -- All my kids wear these for the days at the gravity park.

I wear them on days when I'm practicing skills or doing gravity runs.

They are pretty comfortable once you dial in the size. They fit kind of small-even though I followed their measurement in the size chart the medium was very tight. I had to return the first pair and re-order the large. Haven't had to try out the protection yet-thank goodness.

I'm 5'6", 135lbs and size small fits great. Breathable and form fitting, I barely noticed it's on my knees! I highly recommend these knee pads.
