The decision to extend the knee pad's coverage beyond the standard size was a strategic one, aiming to provide comprehensive protection for the entire lower leg. This extended design not only safeguards the knees but also shields the shins, which are particularly vulnerable to impacts during trail riding and downhill excursions.

The choice of VPD (visco-elastic polymer dough) as the primary material was driven by its exceptional shock-absorbing properties. This advanced polymer compound is capable of dissipating the force of impacts, effectively shielding the rider's legs from potential harm.

The hook-and-loop closure system allows for a customizable and secure fit, ensuring the knee pad stays in place during even the most demanding maneuvers. This adjustability is crucial for achieving the optimal balance between protection and mobility, catering to the diverse needs and preferences of riders.

By meeting the stringent EN 1621-1 certification standards, the "Knee" knee pad provides users with the assurance of top-tier protection, giving them the confidence to push their limits on the trails without compromising their safety.

Backed by a 1-year manufacturer warranty, this knee pad is a durable and reliable companion for any rider seeking comprehensive lower-leg protection without sacrificing comfort or performance.
