You're looking for a little more protection than your baggies can offer, but that doesn't mean a bulky hard-shell pad is going to do the trick for you. You'd prefer something lighter, a little more breathable, and a hell of a lot more pedalbale, so toss on the Shred Optics Flexi Knee Pads Lite and get your shred on. These breathable sleeves offer flexible knee protection, thanks to SLYTECH foam that molds to your body and moves with you when you're hammering up the trail. They are topped with anatomically-shaped spandex that stretches, and holds the pads in place, while an Armortex fabric covers the padding to protect against abrasion.
