Nobody likes wearing bulky pads. They're uncomfortable, sweaty, and you probably won't want to wear them very often so they won't do you much good.

These slip-on knee sleeves are Dakine's lightest, lowest-profile, and most breathable pad so you won't have to battle with straps, and they'll pretty much feel like a cosy knee warmer once you put them on. The great thing is that they also more than pull their weight in the protection department with a CE certified insert and side protection and they're treated with Polygiene odour control tech so they won't get stanky too quickly..

With perforated DK Impact energy-absorbing foam technology, Cordura abrasion protection, and a pre-curved ergonomic fit these pads will save your skin if/when things go wrong out on the trail.

Materials: 100% nylon with Cordura abrasion resistant shell. Silicone grippers help them to stay in place.

Closure or Slip-on: These are a slip-on style pad so they don't have any straps.

Length of knee pad: The pads will cover a few inches above and below the knee cap.

Pros: Light breathable design is comfortable and low-profile so you'll be be able to pedal around in them all day. Good compromise between protection and comfort.
