    MOUTH OF THE MONTH

    KNEE GUARDS V PANTS

    I CURRENTLY HAVE THE POD K8S AND A PAIR OF MID-LEVEL O’NEIL PANTS THAT HAVEN’T WORN THROUGH.

    Hi guys,

    Something I wasn’t prepared for when I purchased a pair of knee guards was how quickly they could destroy a pair of motocross pants. The pivot point has chewed through the leather patch on the inside of the knee of my pants and continued on through the graphics on my radiator shrouds in no time flat. The problem seems to be that the pants are too tight around the knee area to accommodate the bulkier brace compared to a knee guard. I can’t even get into one pair of pants I have because they are too tight at the knees. Do you know of any manufacturer/s who make pants with extra room in the knees for knee guards or have kevlar patches on the inside of the knees?

    Wow, I’ve never really run into that problem Pete. What brand of pants are you running
