Hi for all those who want to buy these , i have been using them for couple of years and the protection is great ..my only issue has been that when you are seated on the bike riding trails or even if you have been wearing them for a while, the center of the protector cap which has a a kind of vented mesh pushes into the center of my patella area and irritates it which has led me to keep 2 small pcs of towel in either knee to create a padding to avoid that brushing and bruising.
If I buy these will they fit with high style drit bike boots or do they overlap? I want to buy a safe pair of boots and they are all very high looking. Do they overlap with these pads?
@@Nisotovski SX-1.. It's a little slimmer overall but especially on the inner joint. Can't go wrong with either. I would recommend trying them both on for sizing.
Happy Christmas Chase :) Question for you - it looks like there are two plastic nodules on the inside of the guard, where you would be gripping the bike. Does this not feel weird and give you a smaller contact patch with the bike? Or is it all good? Do these guards have any protection against hyperextension? Thanks ;)
Hi Alex. I wouldn't worry about gripping the bike with these. Being just a knee guard, they might give a little support for hyper extension but not nearly as much as an actual knee brace. - Chase
had mine for years, how about parts, i need a few screws and will lock tite them this time, also the plastic attachment points can break if you dont use the right method to secure them. thanks!
I bought these but ended up returning. It was because of the feature you pointed out- the padded piece that fits under the top strap and middle strap. As far as could tell, that piece did not open, you had to slip your leg through it . When I tried to wear these over jeans I found it impossible to get my jeans through the padded piece under the strap without my jeans getting all bunched up. I wear jeans when I ride, not shorts. I also bought these because people said they can wear them under jeans too. I bought large, I am 165lbs and legs are pretty thin so its not like I was putting jumbo legs through. Please tell me I was doing something wrong or the secret. Thanks in advance
Umm, so if these have no negative side... Then why should you ever buy a knee brace for several hundred? Like what is the downside of them? Why should I get a "better" one and a more expensive one?
These are great for a knee guard, NOT to be compared with a knee brace. These will never give the same amount of support as a knee brace. But if you want good impact protection and just a little support, they're great. - Chase
@@mikeyrivera2527 Mikey, I haven't ridden in these so I really can't tell you which one is the most comfortable as far as straps go. I just feel like the V2 sits a little bit deeper on the knee which is why I like it a little more. Can't speak for durability on either one, though. - Chase
I am a taller rider and already have a pair of CTi2 knee braces. I am looking for longer Knee/Shin guards that will stay in my boot. What is the overall LENGTH of these ???
The old fox titan pros were good. The new ones with the middle. Cup on the outside suck and are bulky. I wasted money on the new fox type. Might try these Leatts next
Dumbshit here. Didn't know (until I watched a video, not this one) that they have a quick release on the sides! I've been dipping my foot into the top loop, then the middle loop, etc. Was thinking what a poor design! HA!

Thanks for sharing that feedback! Happy to hear they're working well for you. - Chase

Love these. Very comfortable and affordable
do you have to wear compression pants under then for is it comfy on just the skin ?
Do the leatt guards fit with high dirtbike boots?
Torn between these and the Alpinestars SX-1
Me too! What did you get?

I wasted my money on the L/XL size. They are to large and I’ve heard the size down is tiny the S/M. Why no med size not available is Ridiculous
How do I measure for sizing?
Guess

Talks about inside cushioning; camera zooms in on outside shell...
what do you like better : these or the Alpinestars SX-1 V2.?
Will these fit inside my tech1 enduro boots its recommending i use a large and im a short guy only 5'7" so my boots come up my leg pretty far.
Will these fit with the high dirtbike boots? Or do they overlap?
The only thing a knee brace does is keep you from Hyperexstending your knee.
can someone tell me which guards to buy that are the best comfort/protection ratio?
tossing up between these ones and the Alpinestars sx1 knee guard is one better then the other?
I like the SX-1 V2 for a good shin and knee guard. - Chase
ok thanks
@@rmatvmc Hi The SX 1 looks more comfortable with than the V2? (has the wide strap.) input?? also considering this one and the Astars.. torn..

When you buy these do they come in a pair or is it only 1?
Pair
Total noob here... does the lower shin part go inside the boot? Thanks
yup!

What size would you wear?
@@rmatvmc same situation. I would wear M
Are those better than the fox titan pro ??
The old fox titan pros were good. The new ones with the middle. Cup on the outside suck and are bulky. I wasted money on the new fox type. Might try these Leatts next
this come in pair?
Yes, these are sold as a pair.

How do you size them?
There is a sizing chart on the product page. You can click the first link in the description to check these out.
does it stop hyperextension?
hello! can I use this for mountain biking?
You certainly can! You won't want to do a lot of pedaling in them but they offer great protection for the downhills.
