Enduro D3O Mountain Biking Knee Guard, Medium

Bought these for mountain biking trip where there’s lots of rocks and steep climbs. I haven’t work knee/shin guards in years. These fit well and did not slide down my legs. Unanticipated benefit was they protected my skins and calves from “pedal bite” that I get from my flats. No breeze on my legs so they felt warmer but I was sweating in Southeast US heat and humidity anyway. Worth the peace of mind knowing I had some protection. Padres were easy to remove for washing.

This is my first set of MTB knee pads. Though I'm not a beginner rider. I looked at Evo, REI and my local bike shops to find a set that I really liked. It came down to two pads, these Fox pads and the POC VPD Air 2.0. So I decided to buy both. Wore them around the house and gave them a quick pedal around the neighborhood. The POC's might even be slightly higher quality in their construction, though both look to be well built pieces of kit. The POC pads were rather bulky though by comparison to these Fox pads. As soon as I put these on, I knew they were the ones. They are extremely comfortable (for pads mind you) and I have no issues wearing them for an hour long climb up a fire road. The protection is slim but hardens upon impact and should handle most impacts without issue. I enjoy their length of both the spandex type material and the actual pad. It covers a lot of your leg and the pad covers part of your shin. Which, if you've ever taken a shinner from mountain bike pedals, is never fun lol. I think they look quite stylish as well. As with most Fox products, the minimalist approach to design is appreciated. My only gripe is that there are no velcro straps. I wish there was a velcro strap at the top to make sure they never fall down at all. You can help circumvent this if you wear a longer chamois under your shorts by putting it overtop of the top of the spandex part of the pads to help lock it into place. But an actual velcro strap (just at the top) would elevate these to the next level. You may have to adjust these on occasion, but it's rare enough where it's not a big deal to mess with it while taking a drink of water. I would recommend these to nearly everyone. If you're riding trails in the PNW, then these are perfect. But if you are hitting up Whistler or riding true downhill you should look for something with more protection. It will be less comfortable, but it's a bit irresponsible to ride in thin pads when hitting things that big. I also might look for something elsewhere if you ride on rock a lot. Say if you ride in Arizona on rock faces or something like that, you should probably look for a hard pad to combat that. But for the loam of the PNW, these work great.

Fit and protection are great.

I recently had a knee replacement and felt the need for some protection as I started riding trails again. These pads fit great and stay put, giving a sense of protection should I crash. They are very comfortable and easy to clean. I highly recommend these.

Great knee pads

Fit: I’m 5’10” and 185 lbs and the large fit great. Comfort: Probably as comfortable as knee pads can get. Going without them is the most comfortable, and it doesn’t feel like you’re not wearing them. But they aren’t horrible. I wore them for a 5 hour ride and they didn’t squeeze too tight, weren’t too bulky, and didn’t restrict movement. I forgot they were there eventually Impression: overall they left a positive impression. Note: the sticky dots on the elastics that hold them in place left red dots on my skin, like a rash. It went away after 24 hours. I washed them and we’ll see if it happens again.

Very comfortable yet supportive. covers the knees and sheen. Im glad I got this product! Fox all the way.

Fox Enduro kneepads. This is the second time I’ve bought them for myself and both of my sons use them. The fit is perfect. The design is spot on. Just the right amount of protection for Enduro or trail rides on your mountain bike..
