Flex Knee Guards
When you need protection on the trails but don't want the bulk of a hard pad, 7 Protection's Flex Knee Guards promise to shield your skin in the event of a spill without weighing you down. These knee guards are also designed to support your upper calf muscles as you pedal, and a strap at the center and the top to allow you to fine-tune the fit so that it's secure without feeling restrictive. The CE-certified X-Profile foam pad and flexible supporting fabric provide breathable protection while the lightweight neoprene stays in place and ventilates while you ride.

I was super disappointed in these knee pads. The protection is awesome and I was really encouraged by other reviews. I got them in a medium which I'm usually spot on and they were a little small and tight but not too bad. I went out for a 2 hour ride and could not even handle them because the velcro straps (top and bottom) squish into the back of the knee and rub like crazy. I ended up taking them off and putting them in my pack they rubbed so badly. The velcro straps are way too high on the bottom of the knee pad and way to low on the top. It puts those straps square into the fold of the backside of your knee. I would not recommend them at all.

Good Protection, But Uncomfortable
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer

They give good protection. Have had a few crashes that would have been far worse had it not been for the solid padding and coverage the pads provide. However, they get uncomfortable on longer rides as the lower straps cut into the back of my knee. Also the thigh straps are awkward to tighten as I have significant overlap of the straps. Will be switching to other pads.
