AS THE NAME suggests, the ARG Extended knee pads offer a bit more coverage than most, stretching down and covering at least half the shin as well as the knee.
Bliss have opted to use just one Velcro strap, around the upper opening. Although the sleeve itself fits tightly, we had problems with the top of the pad slipping down. We found the best way to secure them in place was to hook the bottom cuff up and over the top of the calf, suggesting that a lower rather than upper strap could be the way forward here.
When it comes to pedalling comfort, the ARGs don’t chafe or slip down even when caked in mud and soaked right through. We always felt well protected, and the extra length is handy for pedal strikes.
