4Pcs Motorcycle Knee Elbow Pads Protection Motocross Racing Knee Shin Guards Protective Gear for Adults black

I use the shin and knee guards commuting to work daily on a VFR800. These have held up just as well other name brands I have paid a lot more for in local stores. I also find them helpful when working on my bike or cars in my garage. The knee hinge works great and these stay in place. In the event of a crash and/or slide, I feel like these would offer decent protection especially compared to just wearing lined pants. I have always ridden with different types of lightly armored jackets, but when it gets warmer I plan on using the elbow/arm protectors with a light mesh tear resistant nylon jacket.

Fits great.

decent amount of protection and looks cool for the money

Okay. So FULL DISCLOSURE here. I was mountain biking and hit a rock and crashed, falling on top of a pile of lava rocks in Southern Utah. I fractured my elbow (the orthopedic surgeon calls it an Olecranon fracture.) But because it is on a big bone, with no rotation in it, they just tell you to suck it up and don't bump it. So I suffered through 2 days of bumping it and going into orbit with pain each time, and finally started searching for some kind of protection that would still allow me mobility. And I found these.I love the hinge, giving me free range of motion, and added about an inch thick of padding everywhere EXCEPT the elbow area, leaving that completely free as an air pocket. Then I strapped it on. It was amazing how much relief that gave me, and I could still bend my arm and work and use it as though nothing happened (except no weight bearing lifting--that put too much stress on the fracture). It was a game changer, so WIN WIN. And if I'm not busy doing anything that I would bump it, I can take it off and work free from a splint.But I have noticed that because the straps are only an inch wide, after a while it really cuts into the skin, even an hour or so. I think that these would be fantastic to protect my arms after I'm healed the next time I go mountain biking, but I seriously don't like the straps. So making them even an inch and a half or better yet, two inches wide would be a vast improvement for comfort.Anyway, I also notice that the support it gives alleviates pain that my normal activities create when I'm not wearing it, so I guess those orthopedic surgeons have never fractured their Olecranons before or they'd have done something more them before this. I'm thinking this could be niche market?....

check mounting bolts between shin and knee rides the tend back out. Kinda bulky and hard but better then grinding a knee away

Bought because it was cheap, but it is poorly constructed.

Knee cap area has no padding but overall its holding up!Good value for the combo! For a min I had the knee pads mounted to my vest so when I played airsoft I never got hit in the arm and they worked perfectly

I gave them to my adult son who does Mountain Bike Racing. He was very impressed. No more cut shins and elbows. Great quality materials and design.
