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.
