Lightweight and barely bigger than two bars of chocolate: the minimalist K-Sleeve protector from ION wraps around your knees like a second skin or disappears unnoticed in your rucksack on the uphill.

Of course, these lightweight knee pads are nowhere near as protective as full-size knee pads. However, anyone who gets off their bike without a good shake will be more than happy with the thin layer of foam. The ION K-Sleeve is particularly suitable for mountain bike trail tours with constant ups and downs, where they remain permanently over the knee. Slipping: Not a chance. However, a slight pressure can be felt after a long ride.

Weight 170 grammes (size L)
Price 59,95 Euro >> e.g. at Maciag Offroad or Rose

For technical descents, he is prepared to tackle almost any ascent - under his own steam. As an accessories specialist, he is the first port of call for questions about equipment and add-on parts, while as head of copywriting he sweeps the language crumbs from the pages of the BIKE print editions.
