What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"Finding knee pads that balance protection, breathability, and comfort is tough, but these nail it. The four-way stretch fabric moves seamlessly with my legs, and I forget they're even there until I take a hit. The RHEON(TM) polymer insert stays flexible while riding but firms up on impact, so I feel confident bombing down rocky descents. Plus, the SuperFabric(TM) front panel holds up against scrapes and crashes without sacrificing airflow."When we're pushing our limits on rugged trails, we want knee protection that keeps up without slowing us down. That's where the Trail Knee Pads come in. Rapha partnered with RHEON(TM) Labs to create an impact-resistant insert that stays flexible while pedaling but instantly firms up when it counts. The SuperFabric(TM) front panel resists abrasions, while the breathable four-way stretch sleeve feels like a second skin, offering all-day comfort. Ergonomic patterning and a wide thigh gripper keep them locked in place, even on rough descents. Whether we're racing or just sending it on the weekend, these pads give us confidence without compromise.
