These pedalling-friendly offerings have no side padding, with coverage being limited to the knee cap and surrounding area. A stretchy mesh sleeve keeps the pad in place, with a wide cutout at the back to help keep things cool.
There’s a soft lining for comfort and the SC-1 knee
cup is nice and malleable. With no straps to hold them up, the Appalachees don’t
feel all that secure but they do stay in place with no need for readjustment as
you ride. The cutout means they bunch and splay a little as you flex your knees.
On long rides we found the bottom of the pad dug into the top of our shins a
little too.
