IONK-Pact Select Knee Pad
Item # INB002O
K-Pact Select Knee Pad
You want to protect your knees, but that coverage can't come at the price of the mobility and strength you've worked so hard to develop. The Ion K-Pact Select Knee Pad brings the two needs together with their Tectonic Fit technology, a design that separates the knee and shin panels to ensure the pad maintains the flexibility you need. The pad itself uses lightweight EVA side panels to disperse crushing impact forces without sacrificing mobility in key areas. The knee pad zone features SAS-Tec and Air Prene padding, both of which are used for their flexibility, breathable comfort, and impact protection. Power Aramid material along the upper pad withstands abrasion and tearing forces, should you slide out on your bike over rugged ground.
- Knee pads that maintain flexibility
- Separate knee and shin panels ensure freedom of motion
- SAS-Tec disperses impact and is comfortable to wear
- Air Prene padding is breathable and absorbs shock
- Power Aramid fabric withstands abrasion
- Hook-and-loop straps customize the fit

Sure they look cool. Sure they're really comfortable when riding. But when it comes to an impact, they're not worth much. My first impact and my right knee was hamburger! Used for mountain unicycling. I've used and abused numerous knee/shin sets over the years and these are definitely not worth the high price tag. Unfortunately, like Firefly, my go to set was discontinued.

Bought these for the SO who likes to do enduro-style riding. He chose them specifically because they're NOT a slip-on style and he can ride up with them in his bag, then put them on at the top without taking off his shoes. He loves the fit and feel of them when riding BUT ON THE FIRST RIDE this little side anchor strap pulled out on his first crash! This piece is anchor for the webbing strap that goes under the knee (has the velcro on one side and a hook on the other). The stitching along this seam appears to be coming out now, so I think this was just a manufacturing defect and they didn't stitch it in properly (looks like there was no back-stitch along the seam). This was a repairable issue, albeit a little tricky to hold it together while flipping the pad inside out through to access it through the small slit where the SAS-TEC pad comes out. I've stitched it back into that seam, and gone along the seam and reinforced it with some extra back stitching. Have heard from other people that they had the same issue with these pads, and the exact same strap pulled out. They have continued to ride with the pads and haven't had any problems if that strap isn't connected. To be honest, we aren't really sure why this webbing is there in the first place and what its purpose is! If you do decide to get these, DON'T TIGHTEN THE WEBBING TOO MUCH. We think that when he crashed, the neoprene went to stretch but the webbing didn't and so that became the high stress point and that's why it pulled out. *shrugs* Overall 5/5 for fit and performance, but -1 star for this piece falling apart on the first fall. Would expect better from something that's >$100.

Hi! Do these slip on or do they wrap around your leg via the velcro straps? Would you need to take your shoes on and off if you wanted to leave them off for the climb then throw them on to descend? Thanks!

They are velcro straps and you don't need to take your shoes off
