[Closed] PSA - Endura knee pads £16.99 @ Wiggle

Thanks, Ordered, my current knee pads are on their last legs 🙂

Thanks OP!

Brilliant! I've been after a new pair for ages. Cheers OP

What's the sizing like on these?

Anyone actually tried a pair or are we just ignoring the reviews the OP mentioned (and likely why they’re 75% off) and hoping for the best?

That is incredible value, I am looking for a new pair too, but the reviews really not great on these - as above, anyone actually got a pair and can comment?

I don’t even need any more knee pads and bought some....not sure thanking the OP is appropriate! So thanks...but not really 😉

are we just ignoring the reviews

Wiggle will allow you to return if they don’t fit....

Nice shout ajantom , not owned knee pads before so these will be my first and I know from past experience endura is good quality .A real bargain , thank you

May sound stupid but are these for a pair? It’s worded as singular

I am going with pair as the list price is given as £70 and there is no option for left or right pad .full description is for knee pads but I will find out soon 🙂

Wiggle will allow you to return if they don’t fit….

Issues are in-use, so you’d need to ride them before knowing

Edit: but hardly a crushing risk at £17

I'm willing to take the risk for £17. My G-Form are on their last legs (or knees).

I won a pair of Poc kneepads in the Tuesday give-away on here a few years ago. Got sent 2 right handed, (legged) ones. 😁 Took me about 6 months to notice though.

That’s 2 pairs ordered here, thanks OP!

2 different sizes, should suit mrsL or one of the offspring for occasional uplift use.

Don't knee'd any new pads but for £17 will do as spares 👍

big bastard buggery bollocks, I paid top whack for a pair of these couple of months ago.
have to say I really rate mine, far far better than my dainese trailskin 2's!

That's good to hear, as these are replacing my tatty v1 trailskins.

How do they size up? According to their size chart I'm right in the border of a s/m and a m/l. I went for a s/m as I have tiny calves.

Actually, on closer inspection, these are different from mine, which are the d30 ones. However I suspect the sizing will be similar, I have skinny legs and they fit me spot on, but there's room for expansion, I'm sure you'll be just dandy with them ajantom.

Ordered cheers

Nice one OP.

Just bought 10 pairs for eBay. 👍

That's a lie.😉

Cheers OP. Just noticed my Fox launch knee pads were torn on Saturday. Pair ordered but noticed the reference to a singular pad when checking out. Let's hope two arrive!

noticed the reference to a singular pad when checking out.

There's a Q&A where people have asked if it's a pair due to the wording, a "Staff member" has answered both times saying it's a pair.

Sorry didn't see this until this morning. I'm about to take a second pair back to the bike shop where I bought them, as after washing the stitching has once again come adrift along the outside of the left pad. I've worn both pairs for about 10 hours max. At £17.00 i would say they're about the right value, but wouldn't hold much hope of them lasting.

Hopefully these may be a different batch, and be OK.

Just bought a pair - for the 2 uplift days and 3 or 4 night rides I do a year they should be fine, washing won't be an issue 🙂

ordered to see how they compare to my poc vpd airs

I wouldn’t chuck in the washing machine anyway, hand wash unless they are the soft  knee sock style pads.

Looks good. With the sizing, what are you actually supposed to be measuring??? Medium is 52-60cm but what are you measuring to get 60cm??

@Natrix Thigh I think.

Cheers OP, pair ordered here - worth a punt at that price. Re sizing, from what I can see it is thigh, measured 100mm down from top of leg

Mine just landed - bought s/m and m/l

s/m the pad dug in to the top of my shin, the m/l still a bit but no-where near as much. According to the size chart i should have been a s/m due to chicken legs too!!

thigh, measured 100mm down from top of leg

thanks for that

Needed some new knee pads, took a flier and ordered M/L as I can't be arsed playing the whole returning the spare pair game.

Shall see how these pan out.

Cheers OP.

Bought the mt500 koroyd helmet few months ago as it was on offer, researched it after I’d worn it a few times and I’m concerned that the koroyd ‘padding’ may have a limited life. I don’t think it returns form after a substantial impact. Not tested helmet yet but when I do have a spill the knees always tend to hit the ground.

Saying that, ive bought some anyway 😉

Do they have a hard shell over the koroyd, or is it just soft foam?

Well, they are comfortable to say the least. If your leg is anything close to straight they properly dig in at the top and bottom. Was worth a punt but I think they will be going back.

Looks like a missprice, awaiting cancellation email

awaiting cancellation email

I got a despatch email last night.

Just had my email despatch confirmation too - just hoping they fit now!

That should say uncomfortable! very uncomfortable.

Ominous, though it does chime with the one review I could find. Mine are supposedly being delivered today so I'll report back.

Just had dispatch email as well.

Mine should be here today. Let’s hope they fit...

If the pad itself is overly stiff, this'll also not help the staying in place issue mentioned in the review. Definitely worth jumping around the house in them to see what happens

Got mine and tried them on, went straight to L/XL as I have fairly chunky pins.

The fit is actaully pretty good and I appreciate the length and the reasonably flexible material of the sleeve. Little chance of ****-gappage with these.

The lower portion of the actual pad does touch on my shin when standing or making a pedaling motion, however the top seems fine.

I think I'm gonna give them a try and then perhaps cut the lower tip off the pad (it's removable) to address if needed. Could also pop some extra material around it, an old buff or something.

Worth a trial at the price anyway.

Gotten this morning.very weird design. Huge pad at the front, bugger all at the sides.

Fine in a frontal crash, useless if you fall sideways

Mine have just arrived. I'd say that sizing is on the small side. No digging in at top but definately an annoyance from the bottom bit. Looks are "interesting". Protection looks good though which is the whole point I guess. £17 well spent I reckon but as a secondary set to my super comfy 661s.

Protection looks good though which is the whole point I

I'm totally intrigued by that. Fair enough the front is well padded, but there's literally nothing at the sides. What makes you say protection looks good?

Plenty of pads now just have a solid front pad like that, and this one is bigger than most - though that may cause problems as above.

Seems you need to buy DH pads to get proper side protection these days.

I have nobbly knees and these cup my knee caps from all sides. It's my knee caps that I want to protect. I didn't expect them to give me the full knee protection of my downhill ones but they are definately a step up from my soft pads.

It’s my knee caps that I want to protect

Quis custodiet ipso custodes?

...what have the Romans ever done for us?

Got mine, fit well and look nicely made.  Good that you can pop the pad out to clean the sleeve.  Will give them a go tonight with the weather we have been having I’m highly likely to give them a proper test!

Got the M/L according to the size chart and they're too tight!

Anyone need a pair at that size for the same cost £17.00?

Yeah mine are also M/L and seem a bit tight. Will try them for a bit and then eBay if they aren't comfortable.

I bought the s/m and m/l for MrsL to try. M/l should fit her but they would cut her circulation off in about 5 mins if she was riding.

We were going to send them back but the smallest fit my daughter and the bigger ones fit my son.

So my wife doesn’t have any pads still but both kids are sorted with quality pads for cheap. Win!

Mine arrived today and im seriously Impressed
I tend to struggle with fit an comfort of knee pads and was a little hesitant due to some comments but they are very comfortable maybe it's just my skinny legs as I went for s\m and there perfect and more comfortable than my 661 Evo
For £17 there an absolute bargain and offer the protection I need .pads with side protection are often clumsy to pedal in ime

Likewise proper chuffed ,17 quid and they fit very very well. Happier now in the knowledge they are 69.99 on the website.

I was going to order a size bigger and notice the price had gone up!

Wonder if it was a mistake?

Mick

All I need now is cheap elbow / forearm pads

Got mine today, they're the most uncomfortable knee pads I've ever tried on, they dig in to my shin unless my leg is bent... they'll be going back unless anyone on here want to buy them off me (after reading my sparkling review!! Size M/L for the discounted price)

Always a bit of a lottery buying before trying - especially something like pads and lids. I guess at £17 it's not a pricey gamble though.

Another set of M/l no good as they’re too tight. I’m happy to pass them on to a fellow forumite for £17 plus post if you missed them on Wiggle, get in touch before Friday though.

Interesting you cant return for an exchange, only refund.

I'll take a punt on sizing/comfort on some M/L if anyone wants to sell on a pair for £17+P&P?

If you could email me on jakd 'at' live 'dot' co 'dot' uk, that would be great, rather than battling the PM function..

And if anyone has a L/XL which they don't want, I will purchase.

Cheers,

Mick

Still waiting for mine to arrive but from the comments on here I think they are gonna be too small 🙁

Oooh I was wrong. Just arrived and m/l fits fine. Strangely the bottom of the pad digs slightly on one leg but not the other. Nothing too bad though, it'll either bend to shape or I will trim it a bit.

El Vino, I have some brand new unused 661 elbow pads.  I was bought about 4 years ago but have never worn.  Hit me up if you want some details.  Won’t want much for them

My S/M pads arrived earlier - seem a decent fit, only worn them for a few minutes walking around but don't seem too bad.

Mine arrived...
I get what others are saying about the pad digging in at the bottom, but if the leg is bent even just the tiniest bit it’s fine....

I’m happy..i like how thin and airy the ‘non padded’ bit is..

DrP

My s/m ones just fit, maybe a little tight in the thigh (but at spot on on the calf) but should loosen a tad with use.
The guard does dig in a little as others have mentioned, but you could defo trim a little of the bottom.

As the new version looks basically the same, but with a d3o insert, I'm wondering whether you could fit some of these d3o pads (designed for motorbike kit) with a little bit of trimming...

Mine fit perfectly l/xl and relatively chunky pins. Yet to ride a bike in them though so let’s wait and see. Seriously impressed for £17!

I just got mine today and I'll be sending them back. I am the skinniest bloke I know (I normally need XS or even children's sizes) but the S/M size is way too tight on me!

Even if they fitted me I doubt I would keep them as there's almost nothing that I like about them. As others have said, they dig in when you straighten your leg, so no walking far in them. Also, they don't protect much of your leg and, worst of all, you have to take your shoes off to put them on.

got mine today, they dig in when stood upright, sending them back

So, anyone actually cycled with these yet? Do they still dig in when pedaling or just when standing?

I bought three, the insert is brutal, rock hard on the inside too so not very comfy.
I have d30 inserts as above from m'bike jeans. They are a bit thinner and fit in the pads perfectly.
I'll be using them with d30 inserts.
