Bliss Protection

Vertical Knee Pad - Women's

The guys in your ride crew might actually get Bliss Protection's Vertical Knee Pad confused with one of their own at first glance, as its refreshingly simple aesthetics make it difficult to distinguish from a men's design. The difference comes in fit; take a pair out on your next ride and enjoy not having to stop at the top of climbs to readjust bulky, ill-fitting armor. The slimmer, women's-specific cut accounts for anatomical differences between men's and women's legs, and the guard includes an upper and lower strap to allow you to customize fit.

In the event that a spill interrupts your ride, ARG padding topped by KEVLAR will protect your knee cap from scrapes and harder hits, while additional EVA foam on the sides of the knee gives you extra coverage during bigger crashes. The whole thing sits atop a stretchy, breathable chassis that will move with you as you pedal, and won't slow you down when you blast through a straighter line to overtake the guys.
