Product Information

Full details

The 7iDP Sam Hill Lite Knee Pads are designed for adult trail riders and racers who need ultra-lightweight, certified protection without sacrificing mobility. Their key benefit is offering CE EN1621-1:2012 Level 1 protection in an exceptionally thin 6mm profile, allowing comfortable wear under race pants. A potential caveat is that their minimalist design may not provide the same level of impact absorption as bulkier pads for extreme downhill scenarios.

FAQs

Are these pads suitable for downhill mountain biking?

The Sam Hill Lite Knee Pads offer CE EN1621-1:2012 Level 1 protection and are designed for trail riding and racing. For extreme downhill riding with high impact potential, consider pads with a higher level of protection and more coverage.

How do I find the right size?

Measure the circumference of your thigh 6 inches (15.25cm) above the center of your kneecap. Compare this measurement to the Fit Guide provided in the 'Setup, Compatibility & Care' section.

Can I wear these under my riding pants?

Yes, their ultra-lightweight and super-thin design (6mm) makes them ideal for wearing comfortably under race pants or other riding gear.

How are these pads cleaned?

Hand wash with cold water and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly and air dry. Avoid bleach, ironing, and dry cleaning.

What makes these pads 'ultra-lightweight'?

They utilize a 6mm thick padding and a breathable Ripstop Spandex construction, minimizing material and weight while still achieving CE Level 1 certification.

Do these pads offer impact protection?

Yes, they are certified to CE EN1621-1:2012 Level 1, indicating they meet specific standards for impact protection.

Will the silicone strip irritate my skin?

The internal silicone strip is designed to provide grip without excessive irritation. Ensure the area is clean and the pad is the correct size for a comfortable fit.

Troubleshooting

Pads slipping down during use

Ensure you have selected the correct size based on thigh measurement. Make sure the internal silicone strip is clean and making contact with your skin. Consider washing the pads to restore grip.

Discomfort from compression fit

Verify the size is correct. If still uncomfortable, these pads may not be suitable for your preferred fit. Ensure the pads are oriented correctly on your leg.

Reduced breathability or moisture wicking

Ensure the breathable sock fabric is clean and free from debris. Wash the pads according to care instructions. Excessive sweat can sometimes overwhelm any fabric's wicking capability.
