Comfortable and good looking product
Very good quality and comfortable to use. A little bit expensive but it's worth for the money.

Great kneepad
My favourite rides are "the big day out" with long climbs, much cross country, and several blind decent.
Despite these 'pads being quite bulky, they have yet to chaff on a long ride (>40km) and are comfortable to wear all day long. Time will tell how they feel on hot sunny days...
They are a bit of a pain to wash, as the inner doesn't come out. If they aren't too mucky, dry them on the radiator, if you went swimming in the seas of mud, I take mine in the shower when I get home. That seems to work...

Better Protection but they still Rub
Very well made piece of kit with the POC size chart being accurate. The knee pad feels strong yet flexible, and you just know that it will do the job it's designed for. After 2 rides I did find that they slip a little which has caused some soreness behind both knees but this was sorted with a smear of chamois cream.
Used them in temperatures of around 10-14 deg C which at first acts as a nice knee warmer but then perhaps got a little hot causing sweat and perhaps resulting in the rub?
Would still have to recommend them though simply for the protection they offer.

Comfy, solid knee pads
I use these for dh, and on more gnarly xc in northern Sydney. They are light enough to strap on or in my camelbak for when I need them.
They took a few rides to wear in, they seemed to mould to my knee, and the initial slight discomfort has disappeared.
They are comfy and feel more solid than some other similar offerings.
For long xc or 'enduro' rides they are probably too bulky, or too warm in hotter climates, and a smaller/thinner product would prob suit better.
These puppies have to be put on over your feet, so they fit good, but need to remove shoes to wack them on.
But if you are hitting faster, gnarlier trails, they are excellent.
I was wearing them during one fast OTB on a dh track and came out with knees in fine working order. Head not so much hahaha.
Peace.

Absolutely brilliant
I mostly do XC / trail mtb'ing and these are perfect. Once on I soon forget I'm even wearing them, even on the climbs! They have given me more confidence on the downhill sections and although I was originally hesitant to buy these with the price they are I have absolutely no regrets. Should these ever wear out (which they don't seem like they could!) I would buy them again without even considering others.
I was also worried as an average build female that these might be too bulky and 'masculine' but they fit and look great and I would recommend them to any female riders.

Secure and comfy fit gives heaps of confidence!
I've been using my old POC pads since 2009 and the have performed excellently but it was time to get some new ones. The secure and comfy fit gives heaps of confidence, very well made using a stronger fabric than my old ones. A bit more than other pads but you wont regret it. Ace!

Very happy with this purchase
These are great pads! I was a little put off by the price initially but having read good reviews I decided to go with these to wear for my recent trip to the Alps and now for all day use.
I am petite with small bones and have had trouble finding adult pads small enough - but the small size is fine and there's just enough velcro with the strap pulled right across to keep them in place. Great for downhill but prefer to wear them over thin longs if pedalling for extended periods to avoid the inevitable (but only slight) chafing behind the knees. Would highly recommend.

Really good product
Fits really nicely and doesn't slip, not had any big knocks yet but feels like it would protect well.
