1st time using knee braces, and I must say these POD K4 fit nicely. Soon into my ride (Enduro), my apprehension of awkwardness wearing braces while riding was gone and I was able to ride like normal. Brian was very mindful of the importance of sizing and was kind enough to call to double check that I have the right one ordered. Overall these feel comfortable to wear and are well made and affordable.
I tried a few braces between the $500-$700 price range, but these were the best fit for me (in terms of quality, comfort, functionality and value for price). Wore this for an all-day off-road training, 95F+ brain melting heat, no problem; I forgot that I had it on after a few minutes on the bike (and these were my first braces!). Walking is also fine, makes a bit of a noise. Did not have any issues holding onto the bike either while standing. I wore it under a Mosko Woodsman Enduro ITB pants (32), no issues, but a somewhat tight fit. I would strongly suggest wearing brace sleeves.
Lucky it has not been crash tested, I wish the patella was a bit more protected and if all the straps had 'memory' (top and bottom has).
I purchased these braces for some extra protection adventure and dualsport riding. I'm not a racer, but wanted the extra support and protection taking bigger bikes through questionable terrain. I've only got one day of riding on them so far, a 6 hours ride on dirt and two-track. These braces are very comfortable, and after a couple hours I didn't even notice I was wearing them. I was a bit worried that they wouldn't fit under my Klim Badlands pants, but they do. I wear a 36 tall in the 2017 vintage Badlands, and a XL/2XL POD K4 2.0. There is plenty of room and my pants didn't bind up at all. Great product and great customer service!
Took a bit to break in but once broken in the boots are great! Comfy and good protection!
Brian with Atomic Moto is by far one of the most knowledgeable people when it comes to dirt bike boots and proper fitting. He took the time to help me find the right boots, answered all my questions, and made sure everything fit perfectly. Communication was great, he was genuinely nice to work with, and the entire experience went smoothly. It’s rare to find someone this helpful, trustworthy, and experienced. Highly recommended!
Love my SG-22’s! Brian was the best. I didn’t know what I was looking for and he spent 20 minutes briefing on different choices, the pros and cons of each, including price point. Baes on our discussion, the SG-22’s were the clear choice and I couldn’t be happier. Way more protection than my past Alpinestars Toucans but still comfortable with plenty of flex even on my first ride.
Awesome boot. Takes a minute to break in but very supportive and safe for your bones. I found I needed to size down a full size. I’m a US 11 in Salomon, Merrell, Nike, Danner and Lowa. Bought an 11 and had to exchange for a 10. Atomic was fast and easy for returns. Great communication and service!
Great Helmet, super comfortable and fits perfect.
