Good quality but questionable fit
These fit super small. I have a pair of POC Joint VPD 2.0 in size XL (they also fit small and I had to size up). I bought the long version in XL and they fit even smaller. I could barely get them on my leg and couldn’t get them up high enough. The regular version (not these long ones) seem of good quality and run very hot.

The best

- I've put it through the wringer
I ride in so-cal dry shale and rocks ..and love the downhills and little jumps and kickers ......knee pads are critical. This is my second pair of these pads . My old ones are over 10 years old and the Velcro straps are stretched out and have lost their griping / sticking power. But still stayed up pretty darn well . I still use them in my snowboard kit . This new pair feel a bit tighter and the top strap is thicker and stronger . Many people have commented that they run small. I would say that they start out a bit tight but because the material forms to your body slowly I have no problem wearing these for my 2-3 hour local rides . I do sometimes push them down while climbing or leave them in my pack till I get to the top or the sketchy downhills. As far as crash protection , these are the absolute best. ! I crashed my knee on a railroad tie recently and these pads saved me. Also the outer material is somehow rip proof . My old pair has been crashed on so many times and still has no rips . Another thing is how nice these are to kneel down on while doing any trail side maintenance ! Yeah, they are expensive but your knees are worth it !

Runs small
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I followed the measurement instructions and ordered a medium but when trying on at home I could feel it compressing my hamstring just sitting in a chair. Ordered the L and fit better. Only 1 day testing and it stayed up while pedaling and secure in the DH bike park. A lit warm but it?s summer and hot in WV. I?m a wimp and would not be getting air or anything crazy but this seemed like a good idea just in case...
