Knee Guard 3DF 5.0 Evo

The knee pads are excellent and very comfortable.

Coming in at £100, the 3DF 5.0 Evo’s value is mighty competitive. Others at the price point come in the form of EVOC’s LS Flex Enduro Knee at £110. It’s a little more faffy when cleaning due to the strap that goes through the insert, and the pad isn’t quite as comfortable as Leatt’s offering.

Fox Racing’s Enduro Pro Knee guards are slimmer, cooler, and equally as comfortable, but the Koroyd insert doesn’t provide nearly as much coverage. This pad will set you back £90. Another pad from Fox to consider is the Launch D3O. It’ll set you back £85, and it’s a comfortable pad, but like the 3DF Evo, breathability isn’t its strong suit, and the sizing is a little off. The Leatt pad is considerably more comfortable, too.

When it comes to comfort and coverage, few do it quite like the Leatt 3DF 5.0 Evo. There’s plenty of both, if you can put an amount on comfort.

I love these for mountain biking. It’s the right amount of protection for those more mellow rides. They are light weight, but still have great protection. The size and fit is on point.

10 months later, and these pads are still going strong - no ripped seams, string pokes or anything! The leg grippers still grip, and no slips ever. I've since crashed in them many times, and aside from the inevitable bit of rug-burn (every pad does this), they have saved me every time. I wear them every ride, as they're so comfortable. They ventilate very well too, even in hot humid michigan summers. Can't say enough how much I like these pads!

Got these to replace my well worn Dainese Trail Skin Air knee pads. I like well ventilated pads, and am willing to sacrifice a bit of protection in favor of more cooling, as I'll be more inclined to wear them on my usual trail rides - and I've gotten into the habit of donning knee pads for every ride now. I couldn't find any reviews on these, so I took a chance as they seemed to hit all my requirements (well ventilated, washable/removable). It's cold season in Michigan, so I've only worn these under trail pants, but they are remarkable in how they stay-put on my knee, never ever slide down like my Daineses sometimes did (the were a bit saggy after two years of heavy use). The fit and how they wrap around your knee is fantastic - it's like a suction cup around your knee, but they don't get clammy or hot (even when buried under wool long underwear and trail pants). They completely disappear when pedaling and riding - but the well placed side and top pads take the sting out of frame strikes when hooning around. I can't wait to use these when spring and summer come, as I think I've found my new 'favorite pad ever'. Awesome!
