Kali Protectives Strike Knee/Shin Protection

Works great comfortable and light weight

I use these to protect my knees after two full knee replacements. They are comfortable and breath well. Happy to say I have not fallen, but feel they will protect me if I do. Very happy with product.

Started mountain biking this summer and was introduced to this brand of knee pads by my boyfriend. I wore his XLs on occasion while I was shopping around for equipment and I liked that they were light weight, had nice coverage, were adjustable, had decent grip and velcro to stay up most of the time, and protected my knees well after multiple falls. (again, still learning)When I decided to buy my own pair, I used the Kali product sizing guide to pick what size I needed. However, the Medium is too small for my legs. Pulling them on and off is a bit of a struggle. I would definitely size up if I could go back in time.

This knee pads are great. They are very comfortable and honestly I forget im even wearing them. If I had to give a negative is that they are just a tad bulky, but really this just a very small negative. I got them for 50 dollars, and in my opinion they are a really good value.

I've owned a few pair of these over the years. One started falling apart and Kali Protectives replaced them free. My last pair were getting pretty torn up from use and saw these again on sale. These are my daily pads and they are great for everything up to park day. Great air flow and comfort. You will forget they are there.**Update**I've been using my most recent pair of these for a little over a year ago. The silicone grip along the top and bottom is starting to show signs of wear and will likely wear-out/come off in the next few months of heavy use in the heat. I am looking at other options, but these are so darn easy to use, comfortable, and work well when needed that I am thinking of buying my 4th pair.

I crashed mountain biking and banged my elbow pretty hard, swelled up pretty good. Had to go the urgent care at Kaiser for x rays and return to see orthopedist. Small fracture and a bursitis. Cost for my copays and x rays was $160.Ordered the KALI elbow and knee pads. Cost was $160.Yup, the universe has a sense of humor.The knee and elbow pads are SUPER comfortable. After a few pedals you don’t even notice they are on. The rubber grip inside the cuff keeps them in place well while pedaling. Airflow is very good. I have ridden in warm but not hot weather and they seem to breathe fine. Don’t think they’ll be too hot come summer.Had one very low speed off where I landed directly on my knee, pad stayed in place and I didn’t feel a thing. Can’t attest to high speed crash protection yet, and have not tested elbow pads yet, but so far so good.They are relatively short. They don’t offer as much shin or forearm protection as some of the bulkier downhill pads, but are great for more pedal heavy rides.So comfortable I actually wear them, so that’s the biggest endorsement.

Best pads on the market. Light weight, hard flexible hard shell impact area, stays in place while pedaling.

I bought a size small based on the sizing chart. I'm on the skinny side, at 5'10 150 pounds (male). The knee pads are comfortable and good fit from the top of knee down, the issue I have is above the knee. These pads are designed for larger people, expecting you to have massive thighs even on the smallest size they offer (size small). The area around the thigh is very loose on me and the single strap that is not a full loop around the pad on the top doesn't seem to help much. It will tighten it up but it is very uncomfortable putting pressure on the back of knee area with the strap which could cause rashes. I've been using the pads for about 4 months and every time I go for a ride or even just walk with them on the knee pads shift around way too much. I've had the padding slip beneath my knee too many times now, (almost every ride). I like the pads otherwise, very low profile, not too hot, doesn't prohibit movement. But for me Its gotten to the where the knee padding shifts around so much that its not even safe anymore and defeats the whole purpose of wearing knee pads since the padding slips below my knee, so I'm going to stop using them. If Kali re-designs the top strap so that it fully wraps around the front of the leg or the entire leg I believe that would help massively, but for it to be a perfect fit I need the thigh area about a centimeter smaller in diameter so it can stay in place and not have any slop

These stay in place really well, even in rain y weather. They breathe nicely while moving, and actually feel like they are venting air over your knees and cooling them. And Seth approved them.

Really great knee pads. It’s a pity they’re hard to find at a reasonable price, but I managed to get them on Amazon during a sale and I’m glad I did !They’re very comfortable and haven’t shown any major signs of damage or wear after a number of rides.

After 4 months of using it 6 days/week they got completely destroyed... every pad on the sides and all silicone that should keep it in on is gone... and i didn't even crash once .... these are the most comfortable pads i ever hade, i dont even feel i.m wearing them... but got completely rekt after just few months... even pads that i paid 10 £ for are stronger cuz they still in one piece after 1yr of usage 6 days/week.They are waaaaaaayyyy overpriced..

So comfortable, you won't even know you're wearing them. Saved my already damaged knees from a few wrecks already.
