Sleeves

I want to love these. They are amazing at what they are designed to do. The protect my legs from my knee braces and they help keep them up. A bonus was they protect my pant from snagging on the braces. Only gripe I have is my butt slips around on the seat more. Slick brace pant plus slick liner in my riding pant and I have to work to stay on the bike with long up hills. And 3rd ride, I have a small hole in front of the brace pant.

I love the fit and feel of this knee brace. It gives nice support/protection and stays in place as opposed to the more expensive braces that I have. It does not dig in the back of my leg with the sleeve/strap system like the strap only system. For me, I cant imagine knee braces being much... if any more comfortable and stable.

These braces are the best ones. They're well worth the little bit extra. The pod k8 are engineered and designed for comfort, durability and support. It's really night and day between the two products.

At 63yo I pad everything I can find pads for. That being said, I had to think long and hard about spending a significant amount of cash on these braces. I've only had the chance to wear these twice. The first time on my mnt bike without the knee pads in. Just to see how they would do pedaling. Both braces stayed put with no slipping down. Although I did have them cinched reasonably tight. The second time was on the track. First thing I realized is that after a minute or two I didn't even notice them. On that trip I layed the bike over in a corner and had my leg pinned under the bike at my knee. I'm 63yo so I'm not sure if the bike landing on my knee without braces would have done damage, but with them I didn't feel a thing. Although I was wondering if I'd need help getting free. The braces did hang up on the seat. No big deal though, I was able to get out, remount and finish the day. As far as I'm concerned that one crash paid for the braces. I'm only giving 4 stars until more use.

These are my first braces and they are light, comfortable, and easy to get used to. Would recommend to anyone thinking of upgrading from regular kneepads. Measurements were true to size. Two gripes that I removed a star for: - The hyperextension spacers can fall out when your knee is bent at 90 degrees (i.e. when you're sitting down resting). Thankfully I haven't lost one yet, but twice I've picked one up off the ground. Need to figure out how to glue them in as I don't plan on switching them. - The hole in the brace for the boot tether to go into has a rivet in it that you need to pry out with a screwdriver in order to install the tethers. Also there is no instructions included on how to install the tethers. Thankfully RMATV is on top of things and has a great video.

It felt great at first but after a few months i started to get hot spots on one of my kneecaps, also it doesn't stay in place all that well.
