ooo Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 Ive been using my Freeride knee pads for ages but they are pretty bulky (raceface dig), Im after something slimmer, Ive seen BMXers wearing really slim ones, but I'm definitely after ones with a hard plastic insert, not too bothered about padding. Has anyone got any slim pads to recommend ??, Ive been looking at the TSG and Fuse stuff.. any other good brands?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bike_dummie Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 Considered the pads with the stuff that turns hard on impact? Cant remember the name of them but im sure someone else will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 G-Form, I have their shin pads and I highly rate them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimo Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 661 G30 series are the best i've used. Non restrictive and cool. Not a plastic insert, but some hard forming memory plastic weird stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eep803 Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 Where can you get Fuse knee/shinpads in the uk? I like the look of some of their shin+ankle combo pads but can't find them for sale on the internet. Ps Sorry for the hijack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the mysterious leemur Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 I've worn a pair of Crye AC trousers with built in knee pads , bailed and the worked pretty well. Worth a try if you want to go discreet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ooo Posted December 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 Thanks for response guys, anyone with others to check out post them up: Where can you get Fuse knee/shinpads in the uk? I like the look of some of their shin+ankle combo pads but can't find them for sale on the internet. Ps Sorry for the hijack. You can get some Fuse stuff from customriders.com, but I haven't seen the combo series on UK sites, maybe check ebay ? Fuse stuff is amazing quality. Has anyone tried the Protec Double Down ? Its looks mega slim and has a hard shell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_malcolm Posted December 24, 2012 Report Share Posted December 24, 2012 661 veggie's ive used the knees and shin pads for years I love them, they can get a bit warm but they offer nice support and good impact protection, plus they fit nicely under most jeans, skinnys obviously not.

albert_03 Posted December 24, 2012 Report Share Posted December 24, 2012 I have G-form knee and elbow pads; they've worked well for me, even ride XC w/ the knee pads occasionally without discomfort. Like most reviewers, I've found they run small, so measure and then order one size larger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
