SixSixOne Recon Knee Pads


SIXSIXONE’S NEW KNEE pads sit at the lighter end of the scale, at just 145g a pair, and are designed for the trail and enduro crew.

Protection is provided by XRD padding on the knee and top of the shin – a material that’s designed to conform to the shape of your legs when moving about on the bike but harden to form a comfortable, protective shell when needed. This is attached to a breathable, strapless sleeve with silicone grippers at the top and bottom. One neat added feature for SixSixOne fans is the ability to attach the pads to the brand’s Evo shorts for a bit of extra security.

Price 72$
