Race Face Ambush Knee D3O Guard

As someone who regularly forgets to put on their pads until after they've put their shoes on, these pads have a great design allowing you to undo the Velcro and fit them without having to take your shoes off. They're very robust against other pads Ive owned and I think they'd take a much bigger impact. There is plenty of adjustability, and the towelling backing means they are comfy. The only loss of a point is that they get quite warm initially until your skin starts to sweat & dampen the towelling, then the airflow seems to cool them back down. Otherwise they are excellent. Size wise I'm 6ft / 181cm, 85kg and the XL fit well as I have pretty solid thigh and calf from years of rugby and triathlon.

I wouldn't hesitate to but these again, they're very high quality and comfortable but don't underestimate the importance of correct sizing. Tredz have been very helpful in getting me to the right size and their customer service is exceptional. Next purchase will be from Tredz again

Ive had these out on 3 trips now and I cannot fault them, Easy to put on due to the open back, fit well and keep my knees cool at the back. Amazing bit of kit, and imho worth every penny. They give a good increase in confidence and if I was to push it to far then im confident that these will come into there own and protect my knees as well as making me look good while im sliding down the track

I found these Race Face D30 knee guards more comfortable than expected - I hardly noticed them after a few minutes pedalling - and did not cook my knees, even when the temperature was in the high 20 deg C. Importantly, they worked when I crashed. The pads staying in place and my knees remained intact (not cuts or bruises), pity about my shoulders...

Brilliant pad to say the least! However be sure to pick the correct sizing. If i were to buy again i would probably pick S instead of M. Overall good construction reasonable fit and the best protection. Its worth a buy!
