One thing I think it's very valuable to talk about when discussing any sort of clothing type product is materials and stitching. My last pair of G Forms had some serious stitch failure after not too long and seemed much less well made than the pair I had gotten before. I'm definitely looking at trying another brand and am going to be looking for something that looks like it's well made.

Oh great, yet another MTB KZbin channel I have to follow lmao. You make by far the best content on gear though. I was a BMX rider for a number of years. In that time I wouldn't wear any gear. Started wearing a helmet at the skatepark a couple years back. Plus would occasionally throw on some G Form shin pads under my jeans when trying to learn something new (slipping a pedal is annoyingly common in BMX lol.) But now that I'm getting a little bit older, my body just isn't able to take the same hits that it used to. Paying more attention to proper safety gear for riding the mountains. I do have to admit, I am being drawn to Fox knee pads to match the logo on my helmet as stupid as that sounds haha. But luckily, they make some great helmets and knee pads (where they are lacking in some other categories.)

11:12 I've crash tested the Leatt Airflex Pro, don't use them for gnarly riding, only for XC riding or flow trails, no falling off 1m rock rollers, and smashing knee into rocks. I was in agony but managed to get home, but I got huge swelling, and could not bend my legs enough to walk normally for 3 days, but it took at least over a week before I was good enough to ride, but I am good now. But I got the new Pearl Izumi Elevate knee and elbow pads. they have a 1cm thick D3O pad, they are removable too, the pads are easy to put on, when the knee is straight the D3O pad gets lifted off the leg which adds more air flow, the D3O pad has many vents. the sleeves at the thigh is long, if you pull it up high enough the pads fit securely. You should definitely check out these pads, I've only had few rides on them, but I don't get soaked in sweat, no get rashes, even when riding in temps close to 30C, still warm, but not overheating. and I actually notice the breeze trough the vents. but with Poc VPD2.0 DH pads I would get soaked in sweat and get rashes at the leg.

I can see that the Launch is more pedal friendly than the Pro, but I'm concerned about Lauch durability in case of a crash. The Pro have those plastic shells, but may be not so pedal friendly. I'm a trail rider, not enduro, trying to improve, so in some cases, crashes comes. I my last crash my left knee (in wich a had a surgery six months ago) was injured by a small rock, since my current knee pads didn't made the job, so I'm looking for something really protective, without sacrify pedaling. What about durability from Launch model in ocasional crashes? How it works for a 8 to 10 miles trail alternating pedaling and downhilling?

I just picked up a pair of g form e lines as per your suggestion. I honestly can't say anything positive about them, which is a bummer. They don't offer the protection and are much less comfortable than either of the other pads unfortunately. I wore them for 5.5 miles and the last mile wore raw spots around the zippers on both legs. Kinks, scratchy and just uncomfortable. Reliability alone is a deal breaker. I think it's a decent idea, but they really lack quality, protection and comfort. ION and IXS are noticeably better quality products, even after a few years of abuse. Maybe I got what I paid for I dunno lol! Thanks again for the testing though.

No it’s not. We made a limited run last fall but may possibly make some more if there’s enough interest

are the g form able to fit over pants for us in new england it gets chilly out here? and should i size up or got with something else all together
@electric_meadows_racing3 жыл бұрын
the E-lines sorry
@TheLoamWolf3 жыл бұрын
The E-Lines would probably fit over pants as long as they're not ski pants. But we'd suggest wearing them under pants, which is what we do! less friction/folds that may cause blisters, and you will look cooler! Pads on the outside is a major fashion no-no. haha.

Leatt are great. Had few crushes at rocky enduro trails with them and nothing happened to my knees. To tight at the beggining but after a while not noticable. Unofrtunately alfter some time of using foam pads are collecting swet and smells so you have to wash them after each run and still in the middle of next day it starts smell/

No mention of EN 1621 certification? I suppose that if I was professionally/financially involved with a product that did not attain certification, I wouldn't mention it either. And I might even find reason to trash competitive products that meet the highest level of certification.

@@simonboily9093 actually went with the latest g form pro rugged. I think that’s what they are called. They are excellent. I ordered the fox first and they seemed really nice but they weren’t even close to fitting my legs even in the largest size. I am 5’11 210lbs for reference. Big but def not abnormally large legs.
