Hello to everyone and good to see you again

Today I would like to talk about MTB pads. After the helmet and gloves

They are one of the most important protection, because in 90% of the falls, the knees

hit the ground

The knee pad problem has always been the size and discomfort for

pedaling, and when you are not wearing, you should put them in the backpack

For this reason, those who practice XC will hardly use knee pads because of

the discomfort they cause to pedaling. The knee pads make sense to wear them

For those who practice Trail, AM, Enduro and Gravity disciplines

There are two types of knee pads. Soft knees and long knees

Soft knees are without bulkhead, and have the advantage of practicality

Unlike rigid pads, the soft pads are enough

confortable also for pedaling

For those who practice AM like me, where most of the tracks are long

climb up and then long downhill, these pads are ideal for the size

and are comfortable to put in the backpack

On the other hand however the level of protection is lower than the

Long knees because they do not protect the bones from sagging or impacting against

rocks. Long knee pads offer the highest degree of protection, and the

the leg is completely covered

The problem here is the size, and you should have the right backpack

Long knees are successful for those who practice freeride and downhill

Where the footprint and footwork count very little

Back to the AM and enduro disciplines, and to the soft knee pads

I often see the bikers climbing with the pads up to the ankles

To padaling easier and not be bothered by the pads

This thing has never convinced me and I never liked it because in summer when

the temperature is high, climbing several km with knee pads at

to the ankles it is a destabilizing factor

The problem is that to get rid of this type of knee you lose a lot of

Time and is an awkward procedure because most of the models must be removed

from the leg, and to do this you have to take off your shoes

By doing an internet research, I found a good ION product, called K Lit Zip

The name is in the description of this video, and this product immediately caught

My attention, it is a soft pads that uses a zip closure

The benefits of these pads are their lightness and community to remove

A highly breathable knee pad that does not bother you.

In this video you can see how easy it is to use them

I bought them a little while ago, and I have to admit that I'm really okay

The pads are perfect, I do not feel them, do not bother me

they are light

They are not too bulky

You have to take the right measure

I had taken a M, I'm not a tall guy

but they were small

I had to change them with a L, and it's perfect. As always I would like to remind you that this is not

It is not advertising but only a personal statement

In fact, in my videos, I always try to evaluate the products very objective way.

I imagine that each of you has found goods pads with the time

And I would be more than happy if you'll write in the comment below

Which knee pads according to you is worth buying

and this is it for today.

Cheers to everyone and see you the next time

Where the hell he cames from ?

ahaaa, he did this way

Damn, it's very steep...
