Why it matters in Southern Utah
Slickrock and ledges mean hard landings, and a knee pad is the most-used piece of armor. In summer heat, lighter vented pads get worn; heavy ones stay in the car. (Editorial.)
What to look for
- Soft, flexible impact material that firms up on impact.
- Vents or perforations for heat.
- Silicone grippers or straps so they don't slide on climbs.
- Side protection for pedal and handlebar strikes.
