The Great Patella ProtectorOnly worn for one ride so far but they’re pretty amazing. Totally worth it! Comfortable and flexible - forgot I was wearing them at some points during the ride.
Now I wish they also made elbow pads!

All day riding comfortSo far so good , excellent quality and fit . The only improvement I would make is a slightly longer thigh to reduce the gap between pads and short liner .

Excellent, Very comfortable. Fit and forget!Great, used them round the ard rock enduro for the first time, and literally didn’t notice that I was wearing that after a couple of minutes! Much more comfortable than previous knee pads I’ve had, and even on a very hot day, I didn’t feel sweaty in them as I have in previous pads, thankfully I haven’t tested their accident protection, but I’ll happily wear these whenever I’m riding!

Decent breathability/protection, super comfortableThese knee pads offer a great balance of breathability and protection with a high degree of comfort. I've been wearing them on hot summer days and, while they're definitely going to make you warmer than if you weren't wearing them, they do such a good job of staying in place that you forget about them after a while.

They're ComfortableThey're really comfortable, I can just put them on and ride up/ down all day without even noticing them. They have a few small rips in the main fabric behind the legs from ripping them on the pedals so far but they're stellar and I would buy them again.

Favorite knee pads, hands downI have tried a lot of knee pads and none come close to the comfort and protection level of these. Even on big pedal days I forget to drop them down for the climbs. I've recommended them to many friends who also love theirs.

Comfortable in the heatComfortable and true to size. 1st ride was in 95 degrees in southeast humidity. Felt great and stayed out without any discomfort. Top notch gear as always.

Are the mountain bike knee pads available in size XL? Reviews show size up to XL but the Rapha site only shows Large.

Hello. I measure 21inches at 20cm above the center of my knee which would be a medium but my calf measures 16 1/4”. What size should I order. I am 6’2 275. It seems strange to be a medium. Just checking. Thank you
Asked by: Bigbikeman
Based on the measurements provided, I would recommend the large as the best compromise between your thigh and calf measurements.

Hi There,
I am in between the Small and Extra Small sizes, would you recommend sizing up or down?
Asked by: OliC
If you are right in the middle I would recommend sizing down for these, otherwise choose whichever size is closest to your measurements.

Hi, do you recommend wearing the knee pad grippers over the lower portion of my bibs or against my skin under the grippers on the bibs?
Asked by: Nick H Qs
If the knee pads are overlapping with your bib shorts, I would recommend wearing the pads next to your skin with the shorts over the top, otherwise there would be a risk that the pads would not stay in place.
