Knee pads are currently sliding down all the time! The endura ones from a few years ago from the PSA - put the D30 pads in which make them comfy but they would be useless in a crash!
So 🐔 leg people, what knee pads do you use that stay in place??
IXS something or another. Actually older version of these when they used to have zips https://www.wiggle.co.uk/ixs-flow-evoknee-guard?lang=en&curr=GBP&dest=1&sku=100438055&utm_source=google&utm_term=&utm_campaign=&utm_medium=base&gclid=Cj0KCQjwtvqVBhCVARIsAFUxcRvz8kimOTZp8g496fiHBcOC_PEqTHorwxdWXIrNTxbbcK3UOgZBSasaAjoJEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
Nukeproof close but not as good but I have them as a spare. The IXS have a belcro fastener so can properly tighten them. Nukeproof Have no adjustability but don’t slip too badly on my slim legs.
I hook mine over my calfs tbf
I'm tall with skinny legs. Been wearing 100% Surpass pads for the past year and they've been ace. Snug, comfy and decent protection.
Endura singletrack lite. Very comfy. Also gform but I find those could put a bit too much pressure on the knee cap if not positioned perfectly.
I have chicken legs and my solution is I don’t bother wearing knee pads…
Yep, I'm using IXS carve Evo+ in size medium, might need a size large at some point as they're a little tight, definitely no issues with them slipping though.
I'm 6ft 3in and 75kg. Skinny legs but actually getting some muscle now thanks to running/zwift.
Endura mt500 in small with the lower gripper tucked up above the calf. I basically dont have calf muscles so it's tough for me to get pads that stay up. Had small fox launch pros before with extra velcro sewn on to keep them up but they still fell down when really wet.
It's a shame trying on pads is so hard.
Bought these in large
IXS carve Evo+
Comfy walking around 🙂

Good choice, mine in medium are almost comfy enough for a full big day in the mountains, but they do chafe on the tendon at the back of my knee as they're a tad on the small size now. I'll probably buy another pair in size large this winter.
I find poc vpd airs great. Theyre the first pad I've had as a chicken-legger that just work.
I've got a set of Troy Lee that started to stretch and the silicone rip out leg hair... solved both issues with 99p knee supports. Really comfy now!
Fox launch pro have been good for me for a few years. I tried on about five or six pairs at the local bike shop and obviously the most expensive ones were best. I'd be shocked if anyone on this thread can out chicken leg me.
Ixs pads for me too
I’m tall with skinny legs and I use the G-Form pads that go hard on impact. I’m old too so not really into rad/gnar and I ride a lot on my own but they protect my pointy bits when I do have a spill. They are more like a leg or arm warmer with padding on and have never had them slip.
Dyna-ti i think my option is better, combats exposed crack too
