DESCRIPTION
Elite Protection. No Shoe-Removal Required. The MT500 D3O® Open Knee Pads are the ultimate solution for aggressive trail and gravity riders who demand top-tier protection without the "faff." Featuring a fully opening design, these pads can be strapped on or removed in seconds without taking off your shoes. With breathable D3O® LP-1 inserts and highly abrasion-resistant panels, they offer certified safety, lightweight comfort, and a low-profile fit for even the gnarliest terrain.
Top-Tier Protection for Aggressive Riding
We build protectors for every rider, collaborating with legends like the Athertons to ensure our kit is up to the job. The MT500 D3O® Open Knee Pads are fully certified for the gnarliest of mountain bike terrain. Engineered to be highly vented, lightweight, and low-profile, these pads deliver top-level protection while remaining "dead comfy" for all-day trail sessions.
The "No-Faff" Open Design
The standout feature of the MT500 Open Knee Pad is its fully opening construction. This allows you to put the pads on or take them off at the top of a climb or the bottom of a run without ever having to remove your shoes—handy, eh? The large Velcro® fastenings combined with silicone gripper prints ensure a secure, slip-free fit that stays exactly where you need it through technical descents.
