got a set of Leatt zip up pads, 2 to 3 years old
year 1, no issues, but now.. i seem to end up with chafing under my knee, more so on the right, im ending up with no skin after a ride
i've messed around with the positioning up down bunching them up and pulling them tight no change
I've noticed the inner material is kind of floppy away from the pad causing it to make contact...can't do much about that
are the pads past it? or is there a trick? thinking trying chamois butter or something?

thinking trying chamois butter

Should do the trick.

I smear my knees before every ride after discovering this a few years back.

Yep I have fox enduro’s that are probs 4 years old and in great condition, only issue is they’ve obviously shrunk in the wash and the back of the knee rubs, but of chamois cream behind the knee before a ride stops the chafing.
It’s a ride ruiner!

Also the bigger thing here is I clearly need new pads! 🤣
