I have become a knee pad snob. There are just too many bad or disposable pads out there that don’t get the job done season after season. One of the most comfortable knee pads I have ever owned were also the lightest and most breathable. They mostly stayed up when I pedaled and I hardly knew they were there. I rode them exclusively for 3 seasons and I have the scars to prove it. Coincidentally, they offered very little protection, tore easily, and had a shelf life of 1-2 crash
