You’ve got options in mountain bike pads! Choose between stand alone pads or combo pads/pad sets.

Many models of mountain bike knee pads and elbow pads come with integrated mountain bike protective gear for nearby body parts. For example, the SixSixOne Race Knee and Shin Guard not only protects your knee from mountain biking injuries, but it also has a hard shell protection for your shin. The race knee is a great example of a “two-fer” – you get both knee and shin protection for your mountain biking in one piece of lightweight mountain bike protective gear.

Another example is the ProTec Mountain Bike Knee Pads / Shin Guards. Similar to the Race, the ProTec Nasty Mountain Bike Knee Pads /Shin Guards is a one piece unit that protects both your knee and shin from mountain biking injuries.

Finally, some models allow you to change up your mountain bike protective gear depending upon your ride. The SixSixOne Veggie Knee Pad is matched with the SixSixOne Veggie Shin Guard. Buy both – and you can decide on any given day whether to wear one set of mountain bike pads, the other set – or both together. That’s a great option.

Especially if you are riding in warmer climates, you want to make sure your mountain bike knee pads and elbow pads have good venting.

Venting is facilitated through the fabric as well as any vents that may be cut into the hard shell caps. Mesh fabric and vented caps allow for the most airflow and are a good upgrade option.

Mountain bike knee pads and elbow pads are a great investment in mountain bike protective gear. A good piece of body armor will help protect you from rocks, trees and other riders when your speed gets a little ahead of your capabilities and this will help prevent mountain biking injuries. Choose high quality mountain bike pads from a trusted brand and, if you want a personal consultation, contact a mountain bike protective gear specialist at XSportsProtective – (800)930-4084.
