iXS Carve Evo+ Knee Pads
Best breathable protection for dedicated trail and enduro mountain bikers.

The flexible foam stays comfortable on long climbs, only hardening upon impact, while the secure fit ensures they stay put through the roughest descents. You get serious armor without the bulky, restrictive feel of traditional downhill gear.
