Dainese Trail Skins Air Knee Guards

When you're mountain biking there's a high possibility you'll have a crash or two. And here the Trail Skins Air Knee Guards ensure a crash doesn't end your ride prematurely with beaten up knees. Protection is via the Pro-Shape 2.0 protector. This is inspired by auxetic materials - materials that expand in all directions simultaneously when hit, absorbing damaging impact forces - in fact, this protector absorbs up to 83% of the force of an impact, rather than transmitting this to your knee. Side sliders also bolster protection when you're skidding along the ground. The result of this is, you can keep enjoying your ride even after a tumble. 

Not only is the Air Knee extremely protective, but it's also light, flexible and airy too. The structure of the pad gives excellent flexibility, allowing you to pedal easily and move and react to the ever-changing terrain beneath your wheels. Some 55% of the guard is open surface too, bringing you increased ventilation on the downhills and greater heat-exchange and breathability when pedalling back up the hill.  An ideal feature for riders who plan to take on long rides, even on the hottest of days.

Last but by no means least, the jersey hole fabric of the guards allows your skin to breathe and wide grippers, with silicone, keeps the Air Knee Guards securely in place even during the rowdiest of mountain bike rides.
