It's a balancing act.
Your knees need some extra padding, but you're not willing to sacrifice your performance for a just-in-case piece of gear. 7 Protection took Sam Hill's feedback into the design of the Transition Plus Knee Pad to ensure that it is race-worthy, so whether you're crushing laps at the park or actually competing you can perform efficiently. Extra side padding and an extended pad design increase your odds of hitting foam instead of something you can hurt. The pad sits higher on the thigh than most pads of similar design, and has a silicone strip that enables it to hold its position. The knit sleeve is constructed with breathable material, and features a mesh back panel for maximum airflow—preventing your knee pit from becoming swampy so you can finish your ride comfortably.

Some Major Flaws
- Familiarity:
- I returned this product before using it
- Size Bought:
- XL
- Weight:
- 200
I know these pads get glowing reviews, which is why I bought them. But I returned them right after trying them on, I could tell they wouldn't work for me for a few reasons: - The SAS Tech pad is removeable, but the break in the material to remove them is right on the knee cap. So when I flex my knee I can feel the material parting and my knee touching the bare pad. The material has a seam and this seam rubs back and forth on my kneecap every time I flex my knee. I don't see how this wouldn't wear a hole in my skin. I have other knees guards where the material parts near the bottom in order to remove the pad, this seems like a far better solution. - The SAS Tech pad is MUCH stiffer vs D30. If it's cold it feels like hard plastic and I'd guess it could be brittle, if this pad cracks you may be left with diminished protection. - The padding around the SAS Tech pad is too soft, and there is a gap in between the SAS Tech and the padding sewn in. I can't see the value in this extra padding besides adding bulk and making the pad less comfortable. The thought this extra padding will do anything is wishful thinking imo. These pads seem to work well for many folks, but I also think some newer designs/materials might be superior at this point. Sizing was good, I ordered XL according to my measurements and they fit well.
