Sometimes hard pads are overkill, but you still want something between your skin and the ground. Enter the Alpinestars Paragon Knee Guards, a pair of lightweight, breathable, and flexible sleeves that will save your skin without interfering with your pedaling. Made of pre-shaped stretch mesh, the Paragons move as you do without causing sweat to build up, while soft CE-certified pads add a lightweight layer of impact protection. Flat seams prevent irritation, and the elastic cuffs and internal silicone print keep the Paragon from sliding around while you climb, descend, and get generally radical.
