Leatt Knee Guard Airflex Pro Flint #S

Update 3/17/24: No change at all. The irritation I had discussed was the tags on the inside getting placed funny while putting on. After figuring that out, the irritation feeling is gone. Still going strong a long time later. I use these for paintball primarily. They have absolutely brought back my play aggression. I previously was getting sore knees, and ultimately legs and lower back while playing that significantly slowed me down. Using in-pant hard knee pads just get ripped out, and pants with built in foam just didn't fit the bill. The over the pant knee pads (like military surplus) just suck, and the construction ones just literally aren't meant for movement. Someone recommended finding 'D30' rated knee pads, as they are impact rated. To explain this, these knee pads are NOT SOFT. They are not clouds. To be completely honest, the first time or two you will find them uncomfortable. But to be able to dive onto the ground, get to one knee, and shimmy around, and feel absolutely nothing through that ENTIRE process is just priceless. And after a few times wearing them, they feel normal now and you won't really notice them. These do not move around your leg. I have never had to readjust them. Playing in the heat, sweating like a pig. Playing in the pouring rain, just drenched dripping wet. Playing in the cold no issues. You pull them on to your bare skin under any layers, and they have really solid grippy rubber on the tops and bottoms that truly grip your skin (not in a pulling manner). They breath really well. I don't have any sweating issues with them directly. The backs of the knees are cut out to allow for bending without material bunch, but also let them breath. Over long days, like 6-7+ hours, they have gotten a little irritable at times. But I've never had any kind of rugburn or chafing from them, or over compression that hurt blood flow. I recommend these to nearly everybody. If not these specifically, then any 'D30' style knee pads specifically. Thank you for coming to my rambling TED talk lol.

All pads wear out. Most of the time they're from petal strikes on the back of the pad, occasional Knicks, unavoidable wear and tear. The only picture review shows a hole in the back of a pad, which is most likely where from a pedal hitting the back of the pad. Not wear on the actual material. The fact that the author doesn't realize that a pedal struck the back of his leg, shows he's not an avid rider, or doesn't even realize brush or his pedals hit his leg. I don't leave many reviews. But I think it's important too support the companies that make the best products on the market. This is one of those companies. Don't ever abandon this pad style, it's the lightest most flexible pad. It stays in place. I don't touch it during a ride. And oftentimes I forget it's there. Yes there are pads with better protection. But for a rider of mostly blacks and double blacks. As technical as I can find, I can say that unless your biking out of your skill level. These pads provide enough protection for moderate falls. You can still fracture a bone through these pads, so if you want pads that will protect you against high momentum falls, be smart, don't get a pads that's designed for comfort and coolness. Get an uncomfortable pad that gives you maximum protection and stop whining when you have catastrophic falls and the pad doesn't do the job it wasn't meant to do. LEATT, YOU ROCK, KEEP MAKING THESE THINGS.

These should fit great if you measure yourself correctly. I’m writing this review after they helped save my knee during a wipeout on a ride. It wasn’t the first time they hit the ground, but it was the first time when I was super glad I had them on. They didn’t move on impact and they took the hit really well. One thing that probably helped was the small pads on the side of the knee. I came down with my bike in a weird jam and that’s where the frame hit me. The pads on top of the knee are nice, too. These breathe pretty well, and I don’t get too hot with them on, even riding around in 80+ degrees. Edit: 5 months later, they’re still holding up great. They fit well in the small straps on a Dakine Hot Laps 2L waist bag if you don’t want to wear them right away. They roll up tight enough you could strap them to your frame if you don’t use a bag of any kind.

I was using the TLD speed sleeves but in spite of what the reviews say, have ZERO circulation and are very hot. I ordered these based on reviews. First, they have a lot of protection. There is side padding as well as the main front guards. Second, Outstanding circulation, This pleasantly surprised me. You can actually feel air flow coming through the front guards, amazing given the TLD sleeves have none. The back is mesh with a cut out to allow lots of circulation. The mesh is the same mesh that the TLD speed elbow sleeves have. ( Why the TLD knee sleeves do not use this is a mystery to me). The TLD speed knee sleeves were the very first thing that came of after a ride. With these, I can wear them without sweating profusely and they are so comfortable, I wait to take them off until I get home. 3rd, They STAY ON. I have ridden 25 miles on rough trails without ANY slippage. At first, there is a sensation of slippage, but they just don't slip. So far, they are holding up in the delicate wash cycle . I expect these to last as long as the TLD speed elbow sleeves' mesh does. (excellent for a year now) Even the extra large, unnecessary labels in the front top of the sleeves do not chafe or rub

As the title says, these knee pads are a dream to wear, breathable, and even more comfortable/cooler than my POC Air VPDs. I like to coverage and flexibility, however the top sleeve that sits around the thighs slides down to the knee cap after a bit. I think the reason is the silicone band at the top is very narrow and does’t provide enough grip against the skin, especially once you break a sweat. It’s not a deal breaker since the pads themselves stayed in place otherwise, but it would be nice if they had a wider grippier silicone band to keep that top sleeve from sliding down. I don’t think it’s a fit issue either since the medium fits me snugly and it’s actually a bit tight around my thighs, which one would think would help keep the band in place. Nevertheless, the light weight, comfort/flexibility and ventilation are top notch and I recommend these pads. I even bought a pair for my son who’s just getting into MTB.

Delv. And product was great. I just ordered the wrong size knee pads.😬

Just returned from 5 days of riding mostly black diamond trails in Moab Utah. I've been riding for years without knee protectors but after a crash a few weeks earlier that cut up my knee pretty good, I decided to add knee protectors to my kit. I did not want a heavy or confining brand that would interfere with pedaling and I wasn't looking for downhiller armor protection, just something to take the brunt of trail-type crashes in rocky areas. After reading a lot of reviews I ordered these in large and XL. I normally wear large in road knee and leg warmers, and just about everything else. The large were way too small and I could barely get them on. The XL however, fit perfectly. The are about as tight as my large sized road knee warmers. I did 25 miles on my trainer with them before taking them out on the trails to test pedal ability. I virtually forgot they were on after a couple of miles. I was surprised and optimistic. So, our group met in Moab and I rode them daily for the 5 long days of riding. We rode 13-17miles per day except the last day when we rode about 7 miles around Klonzo. All of the rides we're blue/black or black trails and our group tends to ride fast and hard - most of the group race road and XC. These warmers performed great, though I fortunately did not have to directly test their ground-contact performance. They wore well, never interfered with pedaling and I forgot about them before each ride even began. I don't know how they will feel in the heat, but while the temps were only low 50's, we were hot in the sun and at our pace it got sweaty but my knees never felt hot or any more sweaty than the rest of me. I'm converted. I will wear these on all our local and destination trail and enduro rides. I don't see any downside and plenty of upside to wearing them. I'm still riding with no elbow protectors and I don't plan to change that anytime soon, but I already feel exposed when I hop on my MTB without these protectors.

I first tried the IXS knee pads, but they were so uncomfortable and left the skin on the back of my legs raw. That’s when I found these from Leatt. I did not have the same problem with these, and found that they are pretty peddle friendly. My only gripe is that they slide off my leg while peddling or going down hill on technical terrain. If Leatt put a Velcro strap on these, I would give them 5 stars easy. The most important thing is that these have protected my knees countless times already, and I’ve had them a little over a month. I do recommend them, but be sure to choose the size knowing that they will stretch and fall off your legs.

Excelentes rodilleras!!

Produits parfait, ne tombe pas grâce aux bandes antidérapantes léger , on oublie qu'elles sont sur le genou. Attention, produits vendu par 2 !

Happy to see Quebec Retailers on Amazon Great product and quick shipping!

Mi sono orientato su questa perchè una delle poche compatibili con la dimensione del mio polpaccio/coscia (ho preso la XXL) Comodissima anche in pedalata e sembra di ottima fattura. Per ora non ancora sperimentata su botte forti ma sembra bella solida

Se sirve Muy cómoda y ligera, el material parece que no protegerá, pero yo lo probé dando un golpe con la rodilla a una pared. Y si logra proteger
