The BOMBERS feel the MSR Reflex Knee Guard is the overall best off road knee protection sold. We have been selling the Reflex for 3 years, and compared it to literally dozens of guards from brands like Fox, Thor, Fly, EVS, 661, you name it. The BOMBERS recommend these are the best overall.

The Reflex has extensive plastic coverage, an obvious benefit. You get coverage well up the thigh, and well around the sides of the knee. Yet the mechanical hinge gives terrific freedom of movement. They have great quality memory foam padding - you feel you could get hit by a train and your patellas would be smiling. The strap system is easy and very comfortable. The profile is low where it enters the boot, so your boots still fit correctly. They are well vented and not that hot. They stay in place. Best of all, the price....this guard is nearly as complex as some knee braces, yet is downright cheap.

NOTE (and test to see if you are still paying attention): DISREGARD the markings on these for L and R. Instead, wear them so the clips are on the INNER side of the leg, toward the bike.
  • Anatomical low-profile design fits close to the legs and stays firmly in place
  • Three wide stabilizer straps
  • Unique protective thigh panel which protects against handlebar impact in corners or in the event of a crash
  • Anatomically correct to give you a full range of movement without restriction
  • Fully ventilated foam and plastic components allow body heat to escape
  • Adjustable elastic straps combined with Airprene panels provide a positive fit and keep you cool and comfortable
  • “Set and forget” straps, mean you adjust fit once, and use the three speed buckles to install within seconds
  • Self-centering knee allows the Reflex to float around your knee cap
  • A thick layer of memory foam surrounds your knee cap
  • High-impact Polycarbonate shin, Nylon knee and Polypropylene thigh piece work give optimum coverage and maximum range of movement
  • Flush flat head pivot screws help reduce wear

starrating not impressed...
 
I thought these knee guards would be a good alternative to Fly Racing 5 pivot ones I blew out, but they aren't. One of them doesn't stay in place even though I've tried messing with the adjustment. Took them off my second day out... not good.

starrating Worth their weight
 
Bought these for GF who was always napping along the trail and bruising up. These are well articulating guards that offer unsurpassed protection in any position. I searched all the guards in this price range and tehse cant be beat. ATMOTO had tehse on my doorstep within 2 days, Shipped the same day. Just spent srpingbreak in Moab and while she ripped her new Thor pants these protected her from any other marks.... These rock!!! Only downsize is the bottom of guard rubbed her inside the boot, they would be even better if they made a short version. All in All Great Guard.

starrating best knee guard ive used so far
 
For the longest time I was wearing these backwards... I assume the straps clipped to the outside. And for the longest time they caused me to rub up a spot on my shins. After reversing left to right and vica versa though, it stopped. Example: The one displayed here upright and not bent should be worn on the LEFT leg. (BOMBERS Note: Airman Darrin is correct in this....these guards should be work so the clips are on the inner side of the leg.....which is the OPPOSITE of the marking on the guards..... Trust us, and THANKS to Airman Darrin!!) These are very flexible, offer really thorough protection all the way around and make me feel like robo cop. They are easy to adjust and once you adjust them, they stay that way. No need to readjust. They are probably the fastest piece of protection to put on that I own.

starrating Best Knee Guards we sell
 
The title basically covers it, but some detail is always helpful: these MSR Reflex Knee Guards have extended coverage, great flex, and excellent foam padding....all for a relatively low price considering their complexity.
