I've had these knee pads for about 2 years now and they are fantastic.

They have a comfortable fit, and even more importantly, a snug one. These things will NOT MOVE once you've strapped them onto your legs, so you don't have to worry about them sliding down when you fall (making them useless).

They are really beefy and can take some big hits. You can comfortably fall onto your knees from a standing position. The replaceable sliders are also a plus, although mine still haven't needed a replacement.

The only disadvantage is their inherent size. You don't want to have these on for dancing. Other than that I use them all the time. And they can also get a bit hot, but not bad.

Great pads, worth the price, get 'em.

These have to be the most comfortable kneepads on the market. a little bothersome on a hot day (which is almost every day here in az) but they're definitely worth it. definitely a good call when your freeriding

these are good but they make you sweat like a mofo, but hey they protect your knees well I would suggest them for fast freeriding.

Great Knee pads will really save you a lot of pain and down time when you are starting or learning anything new!
I love the removable caps not only cuz you can replace them with out getting in pads but I slapped some Velcro on my leathers and BAM!! saves you from tearing holes in your leathers and easy to go back and forth from knee pads to leathers!
They do make it almost impossible to dance with them on and every so often when im pushing my knees will just touch and a cap will go flying off but not to often

Simple design, effective protection.

The caps slide well; the foam allows you to take a lot of hard falls without damaging yourself.
When learning something new or just freeriding hard, these pads come in handy for saving some skin and preventing bruises. The foam in these pads is great at absorbing damage.

If your into sliding, these will help you progress. On top of sliding well, the caps are replaceable (i.e. you don't need completely new pads once the caps are worn down).

The one downside to these pads is how bulky they are. Not ideal for a situation in which aerodynamics are of high importance (DH race). Also, this makes it difficult to dance/cruse in.

Worth every penny.
