Knee pads Leatt 3DF in test
The rather voluminous protector is comfortable to wear with its well-moulded foam pad. However, the Leatt could sit tighter on the knee.

Only a strap secures it to the leg, which pinched slightly in the hollow of some of the testers' knees. The fabric on the back quickly started to show holes.

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.
