\nPros: i LOVE these as far as comfort and movement...i can barely tell that i have them on and they do not budge! theyre also nice and slender and fit securely around my leg with plenty of velcro to tighten them up. they\'re not bulky and could be worn over or under clothes. i also think theyre cute haha.
\n
\nNeutral: as far as protection, theyre pretty good. when i got my first knee pads (alpine stars) i stood up and slowly dropped to my knees (hold the jokes) to see how they felt. i could stand up straight and fall to my knees and they were like air clouds. i did the same test with the dainese and they werent quite as cushy. no biggie. they def still protect my knee caps and obv not as cushy since they are not as bulky.
\n
\nCons: side of the knee protection. this is probably just a personal issue. but when i do foot on seat and staggered, the inner parts of my knees rub or hit the tank as i come down. i know since i\'m learning this is a body position error, and happens when i let off throttle too quick or hit brake too hard. but it\'s an important aspect of the knee pad for me. after riding with these knee pads for 3 sessions, the inside of my knee was bruised and tender. :-(
\n
\nRecommended for people that can ride and want max movement. great for skinny legs. no bueno for squids that rub the inside of knee on bike.\r\n
