answer racing, alpha knee guards
I think they are great knee pads. They stay in place the whole time you ride. (Unlike the fox knee pads) They are as close as to knee brace as you can get, without paying $300. The only problem I have had was that, the center knee pad came off on both sides for some reason. I re-glued them and haven’t had a problem since then. All in all I would recommend them to everyone.

Good fit around shin/knee, but knee padding is small
I just got these guards and even though they fit right on the knee and shin, I don't like the padding on the knee area. It is very small. If you even sit on your knees, you can feel the plastic parts of the knee guard hitting your knee as the knee cap extends. The padding is way too narrow and only protects the patella (knee cap), but not the whole knee. In other words, the upper part of the Tibia bone (bone below knee cap when you bend your knee) hits directly on the plastic because the knee padding is very narrow.

Best kneepads I've ever had
Great quality. They're very protective and sturdy. They form to your knee and shin really well. My knees hyper extend, so there's a little problem with negative pitch, but if you're not an alien like me, then you'll love them. They fit great under or over dirt bike pants.

I love these things! I have skinny legs so naturally the “one size fits most” never fits me. I found a great use for these though. I use them on my street bike outside of my JR Steel Jeans. They work great! They have fantastic articulation (and bend way more than needed for sport bike), great coverage, and the bonus is they stay in place and keep my jeans in place too! No more tugging at my jeans when pulling away from stoplight. The “set and forget” attachments? Genius! So easy to get on and off. I LOVE 'em!
