Bliss Vertical kneepads


Bliss makes a wide range of protection and these kneepads are a decent choice for all-day trail riding with occasional crashes thrown in.

The protective element is a thin three-piece section of flexible but shock absorbing Armourgel in a Kevlar-reinforced pocket. The twin strap Neoprene sleeve is secure and open behind the knee and mesh above and below for reduced sweating. The result is a light, comfortable pad that fits okay under looser three-quarters. They're CE standard too, but thin protection means we'd choose something sturdier if you're a regular soil sampler.

Good lightweight trail protection, but regular crashers will need more.

PRICE 110$
