If you are seeking a "second skin" feel, these knee pads are exactly what you need. Once worn, you won't even realize they're there until you take a fall. The strategic placement of the protective padding offers excellent all-around protection and effective shock absorption.
Mario SiegelHomberg (efze), GermanyVerified Buyer4 of 5Super fit, good material, well-designed protectorStefan BergerMaria Enzersdorf, AustriaVerified Buyer5 of 5The fit is dialed—I'm slim and 187 tall, but I still went with a size S.Wojciech P.Mińsk Mazowiecki, PolandVerified Buyer5 of 5Overall, we’d give them a 5. Although they’ve only been used a few times. They’re lightweight. They’re easy to throw on. The downside is that the fabric isn’t indestructible :-) There are already some slight scuffs. I also thought the padding would be firmer. But time will tell which is better. A big plus is their flexibility and the freedom of movement they provide.Gunn Ø.Hagan, NorwayVerified Buyer5 of 5Does not slide down 👍🏻
Bought the smallest size up to 15 years.
Fits perfectly to person 168 cm tall and 58 kg.
The quality is good, good tight possibilities with solid velcro and good padding.
Highly recommended!David ComerfordDublin, IrelandVerified Buyer5 of 5I've always used plastic cap knee pads but they need big jeans and often restrict movement.
Tle Alk13s fit nicely under normal clothes and provide the same level of protection, probably more because they protect the sides of the knee too.
Materials are top quality too, I'd expect these to last a good while. I doubt you could find better.Jim NilssonÄngelholm, SwedenVerified Buyer5 of 5really good!Hendrik KöppenBad Segeberg, GermanyVerified Buyer5 of 5Product seems good, but L-XL was too tight for meMichal OlszamowskiBonn, GermanyVerified Buyer5 of 5Great quality and fit very comfortably on the knee. You don't feel any restriction in movement.M. ArmiWien, AustriaVerified Buyer5 of 5niceMyles ReidLa Porte, United StatesVerified Buyer5 of 5Okay so first let me tell you that I've dislocated my left knee twice, the patella was an outer dislocation. My iliotibial bands are super tight and I unfortunately don't stretch as often as I should. Most knee pads for me are uncomfortable, I have a pair of triple 8 pads as well as raceface down hill pads.
Now, these knee pads are amazingly comfortable for me, they sit in the right spot and having the extra security of the velcro is wonderful. My knees are mildly uncomfortable but knowing that the more I wear them, that minor discomfort is fine and will wear off.
My only gripe, but I'm not knocking stars off for it, is that if the Alcatraz would invest into D30, then I feel the protection would go up, at least for the main pad. They feel like they have their own version, but it is stiffer than actual D30.
Would I recommend these? Hell yes. Would I purchase again? 120% you bet I would.
