I bought a pair for both my knees and elbows. The quality seems to be very good but I haven't used them on my bike yet. The straps are a bit fiddly at first but will just take getting used to! Hopefully, I'll never need to find out how good they are!

Forcefield knee protectors
09 Sep 2022 by Leslie S
I purchased these knee protectors for a 5 day trip on the bike, so have worn them for a number of hours over this period. They are exceptionally comfortable when riding and also when walking around, to the point where you almost forget you are wearing them! Whilst fairly expensive for what they are, I think overall are worth the money for the level of protection they offer and comfort when wearing them.

Good fit.

Comfortable but I had to place a plaster over a piece of hard Velcro.
For this I've dropped the rating to 4 *.
Great online shop with free returns. What's not to like?

Pricey but decent

They are a definite improvement over the knee pads in my textile and Kevlar trousers. Fairly comfortable but quite bulky. Couldn't walk any distance with the current pads in.

Don't be weak kneed

A "sized" piece of kit vital for those not in the "one size for all category" of some brands. I chose these over the Sport version (the actual knee protector is the same on both) as these with straps not only add extra fixing in position but with the stretch of the sock enable the option to be fitted without your leg in the sock at all, it flattened into the protector and the whole thing sitting on the outside of tight long johns or trousers worn under your motorcycle trousers. . Excellent.

Great lightweight knee protection. Not too bulky inside my In The Boot pants. Nice and flexible. Comfortable lightweight mesh sleeves with decent elastic keepers for above and below the knee joint. So happy with them I might but the thinner version for work!

Perfect knee protector
16 Sep 2021 by John
As with most motorcycle trousers, the knee pads are never in the right place and can be uncomfortable. These pads are the perfect solution. You hardly know you have them on, they stay on the knee and are top level protection. I use them on my road bike and no issues on a recent tour.
