Stage Knee Guard
The Stage Knee guard offers mid-range trail protection in a packable package. D3O is used for impact protection. D3O is soft and flexible to keep the guards comfortable while riding, but on impact, the D3O material hardens to disperse the energy for protection. Slip on a pair and head out to the bike park in confidence.

I'm the type that hates wearing knee pads. After a recent knee surgery I decided I needed something that would give some protection from impact and the inevitable scraps that come from all mountain and Enduro riding. I kept in mind the best knee pads are the ones that you will actually wear.Rider type - XL thighs/calves, like to pedal with mostly riding between all mountain and Enduro. I live in hot, and usually dry, SoCal. My leg size makes finding knee pads that stay in place or provide enough knee coverage nearly impossible.I ordered 5 knee pads. This is what I observed for all of them:Fox Enduro sleeve - comfortable (7-8), material felt durable, but pad feels like lite density foam. Least favorite, but if I hadn't tried the other four would have been more than adequate.Leatt Airflex Ultralight - Very comfortable with the best breathability. Barely felt them. The knee pad was too thin. I'd say XC to Trail is most appropriate. A little thicker pad and I'd keep this one.SevenIDP Sam Hill Lite - fit wise, every bit as comfortable to the next 2. Comfort 9. The pad just didn't fit my knee quite as well. A bit less protection and less pad fit to the knee. Sleeve very comfortable. If not for also trying the next 2, then I'd keep this knee pad and where it every day.TLD Stage - more pad coverage than the rest. Pad extends down to top of shin. Long sleeve that keeps it in place. Contours well to the knee. Comfort 9, coverage 10 (of this group), perceived durability 9 (a bit curious if the material will snag with falls).IXS Flow Light - This was a throw in pad when buying everything in this review. I didn't expect much from it. It is tied for most comfortable in the group with IDP Sam Hill Lite, but the pad is slightly thicker and more coverage of the knee.What I decided. I can't decide between the IXS and TLD so I'm going to keep both. The TLD has more coverage and almost the same comfort as the IXS. Both are great. I'll wear TLD for bigger downhill rides, but it is definitely not a "bike park" knee pad. Both pads meet and exceed what I thought I would find in the category. I see myself alternating between these two.

My husband has the elbow pads of the same model. Very comfortable and they stay up during the ride. They don’t bunch or pinch behind the knee.

Great knee pads and they are better than I expected. I did follow the sizing chart and I am happy that I did since I ordered a size smaller than I thought I was based on the recommendations. The knee pads are a great fit where they are not bulky and cover a great amout of portection around the knee. It is great I was able to get them on sale, which I find to be a little more resonable. They do seem durable although I have not take a spill yet.

I like how these go down a little longer on the shin for protection. Mesh back is nice for keeping legs cooler and ability to pack them in the bag to be more compact. Pretty comfortable for pedaling in also

Like all the Troy Lee articles I own, these are well designed, constructed and provide great protection. I find the combined sizing (medium-large) unfortunate as the product is large for medium and small for a large. My measurements fall within the range they specify (I am a great medium) but there is just a bit too much stretch material at the thigh level. They are comfortable, well made and have good slip resistant banding - but they move a little bit too much for my taste. I will experiment with reducing the size with a few well placed stitches. These would be perfect with a small, Velcro or other adjustment at the thigh.

The foam is stiff, but flexes. Gets hard when struck, tested my knee with a rolling pin and its like its a hard shell. very comfortable, but I did need an XL/XXL size for my legs. The overall fit runs pretty tight, so may recommend testing sizing in a store. Good upper shin protection also.

I have skinny legs and the large fits me well. The medium was too tight. Rode Downieville Downhill with these and no issues.

These are the best knee pads I've ever used for enduro style rides, where I need real protection from falls in rock gardens, gaps and drops....while at the same time being comfortable enough to use on long climbs. I've been using these pads for the last 6 months and they have been flawless. First and foremost...they stay in place when you crash....and offer up very good protection.....unlike others in this price range/category. They are also very easy to clean and super durable. Highly recommend.....yes they are a bit pricey....but in the end have been a great value.

Leichter Schoner, der sehr angenehm zu tragen ist auch bei längerem Pedalieren. Rutscht nicht und ist relativ „atmungsaktiv“. Schutzwirkung musste ich nicht testen. Bei der Größenwahl kann man sich gut an die Herstellerangaben halten.

Pro:Die Knieschoner sind hochwertig verarbeitet und sitzen sehr bequem am Bein. Während der MTB Fahrt also angenehm.Als kleines Gimmick ist die Verpackung gleichzeitig ein Mudguard. 👌🼠Dieser Muss herausgeschnitten werde.Über den Schutz bei einem Sturz kann ich aktuell noch keine Auskunft geben.Contra:Dennoch muss ich dem Produkt Sterne abziehen, da bei der zweiten Verwendung (ca. 70km gefahren) der Silikonzug auf der Rückseite abgelöst und gerissen war (siehe Bild). Sehr schade, da es sich sonst um ein tolles Produkt gehandelt hätte 😕Ob nun der korrekte Sitz und somit die Sicherheit bei einem Sturz noch gegeben ist, ist fragwürdig.Nach Rückfrage beim Verkäufer, kann dieser das Produkt nicht mehr zurück nehmen / umtauschen, da besagter Mudguard bereits in Verwendung ist, also die Originalverpackung nicht mehr vorhanden...
