As far as youth size, entry level protection goes, these iXS Hack EVO Knee Pads are impressively protective, pleasingly comfortable and easy to adjust to suit personal preferences.
With the combined effort of firm pad and aramid fibre coating they are just what young riders need to protect delicate skin from sustaining damage from rock abrasions and sharp pointy things in the event of a crash.
Technologies
Easy To Adjust -A silicone gripper helps to keep the upper securely in place while AeroMesh backing does a great job of wicking moisture away while riding. Adjustment is made using the hook & loop straps at both the top and bottom of the knee pad. For rider convenience the straps are offset away from the bike, so there's no chance of the flaps catching on your bike frame as you pedal.
Firm QMatter Foam Pad -The Hack series is the beginner's version of the iXS soft protectors. It makes great use of QMatter, a high-density foam pad, which is quite springy and firm to press with your thumb. This energy absorbing pad is ergonomically shaped for kids and designed to cup the knee cap with a pre-curved shape which extends down the top of the shin, and a reasonable way around each side of the knee.
Meets European Safety Standards -Built without hard shells the Hack is therefore lighter and extremely comfortable to wear. It also meets the European safety standard EN1621-1 for knee and lower leg regions. Even though there are products in the iXS range with higher levels of protection iXS Hack EVO Knee Pads are acceptably adequate for young riders and fit so well they're soon forgotten about in the excitement of the ride.
