6.0 3DF Knee Guard
The thought of wearing bulky, restrictive traditional knee pads is enough to make any mountain biker cringe—but then again, so is the thought of bashing your knee in the dirt without any protection. Luckily, Leatt has a solution in the form of the 6.0 3DF Knee Guard. It's built with a flexible and breathable 3DF impact foam that lets you pedal comfortably, but still soaks up harsh impacts. Hard shell sliders on the front padding add extra impact- and abrasion-resistance, and foam padding on the sides offers added coverage without restricting movement. Breathable MoistureCool and AirMesh fabrics wick sweat and disperse moisture to help you stay drier and cooler while you ride, and non-slip adjustable straps and silicone grip lining prevent any unwanted slipping or shifting so you never have to slow down.

Couldn’t ask for better.
I ride a variety of terrain with a focus on single track/hard enduro. I’ve dumped my bike more times than I can count with these knee pads on. Most of the time I can’t even notice if I hit my knee or not. One of the times I looped out my bike on a hill climb and smashed all my weight onto one knee, but I only felt some pressure thanks to pads, if I wasn’t wearing them I would’ve been calling it a day. Unless you want to fork out the money for knee braces, these knee pads are what I recommend to anyone looking for comfort and protection.

Quality made
new to this game, but I can see quality and a great deal of engineering went into making these, and I also purchased matching elbow units, like the color too! Did not know what I was getting into, but see now they are worth owning and wearing! very happy!

Don’t buy anything else! A+
Couldn’t be more satisfied! Very comfortable. My old knee pads irritated the back of my knee. With these I actually forget they are on they are so comfortable! Definitely worth the money!

Good upgrade over my old set
Replaced my worn out Leatt stuff with these. Fit is even more comfortable — I don’t notice them when riding, no pressure points or hot spots. Happy with my choice
