Race Face Ambush Knee Guards

Yes. The Ambush knee guards feature an open-back design, which allows you to wrap them around your leg and secure them in place without needing to remove your shoes.

The D3O T5 Evo X material is soft and flexible while you are riding, allowing for full range of motion. Upon impact, the molecules lock together instantly to absorb and dissipate energy, hardening to protect your knee before returning to a flexible state.

They are designed with perforated neoprene, which promotes airflow and helps manage heat. While they offer high-level protection, the ventilation makes them significantly more comfortable for long days in the saddle compared to bulkier, non-perforated options.

Yes, they include additional foam padding on the sidewalls. This provides extra coverage for the sides of your knees, which is helpful for aggressive riding styles where impacts might come from various angles.

The pads are secured by a woven upper elastic strap. This system is designed to keep the guards from slipping down, ensuring the protective D3O insert stays centered over your knee even when you are moving around on the bike.
