Dainese Trail Skins knee pads


THESE NEW TRAIL Skins from Dainese have some nifty features up their sleeves. Protection is provided by a combination of Crash Absorb memory foam and a honeycomb rubber arrangement dubbed Pro Shape.

The padding is just 7mm thick and the whole pad is designed to be easily rolled down so you don't get too hot on the climbs. The Velcro fastenings above and below the knee are super-neat, while the price tag ensures these are serious contenders if you're on tne lookout for some new, pedalling-friendly knee protectors.

PRICE 70$

The hidden steerer clamp keeps sharp edges to a minimum and removes stress from the body of the stem. Out on the bike, the stem proved flex free and bombproof.
