Fly Racing Barricade Knee Guards
Best lightweight protection for trail riders seeking all day comfort.
These guards are for riders who hate the bulk of traditional armor but refuse to ride unprotected. The viscoelastic foam offers impressive impact resistance in a slim, breathable package, though you sacrifice the heavy-duty shell protection found in more aggressive, downhill-specific gear.
