RS Taichi Stealth Knee Guards (Hard Shell)
dru did a review of the soft ones so these are the hard ones!
Chose kneepads because it is more versatile than riding pants. Kneeded (haha) low profile so i can wear under any sort of pants. Im pretty sure its the same outer material as the soft ones so its pretty comfortable. The hard shell part of it has foam backing and it is in a sleeve within the tube so the foam does not directly contact you.
Anyways, wearing them is comfortable, the very first time i wore them i put the stretchy strap too tight and i got a blister, but now i just loosely attach the velcro (still is very snug) and now i prefer to ride with them on. Allows me to get a better grip on the tank and squeeze tighter with less fatigue.
Verdict! BUY! I probably will wear these all the time now, they barely show through my jeans, and just the tiny bit it bulges it doesnt look dumb as hell.
Bought a Medium and im 130lbs 5'10
