Knee pads

[oldyam80sg]

The knee pads you call are actually called pucks.

Does it really matter, those pads are really for you to be on your knees when you explain to your better half what it will cost for a new bike or repair after the crash.

Well at least it was better than the subject matter I feared when I first saw the query. Images of a mens prison came to mind.

"Or should they be lowered to protect knee cap from impact and road debris while in the riding position? "

The pads should be lowered, as you suspect.

It's a small job for a tailor to lower the pad pockets or add new ones over the existing. I had this done, and it put the pads where I want them. Just pull the pad out of the pocket and while wearing the suit and sitting on a chair at the tailor's, place it over your kneecap where you want it, and the tailor will chalk the location.

Hi Nubian,
I am not sure what you are asking. Do you mean the armour (armor) on the inside of the suit or sliders on the outside of the suit?

Sliders for an XS11 rider? U got jokes
I meant the interior armor.

What is the ideal position for the knee pads? I noticed today while sporting my new Olympia Phantom suit on it's maiden voyage that the pads rode very high in the riding position, made me think if i were to spill where would i want the pads positioned for optimum protection.
