[Review] The Pro X Knee & Elbow Pads by G-Form

With an extremely slim and comfortable design, don’t let the G-Form Pro-X Knee Pads and Pro-X Elbow Pads fool you, as they are ultimate impact protection. While protection is key, G-Form is working to make your protection a second skin.

They’re doing this in a couple of different ways, the first being the pad design they are using. The “impact-absorbing RPT pads” will earn your trust on the first fall you have. It’s crazy to have the pads in your hand and be able to move and bend them as much as you want. On impact, they instantly harden giving you the protection that you need.

Secondly, G-Form is using a comfortable sleeve to keep the pads in place that offer more than just securing the pads where they should be. The material used wicks moisture, is breathable, and offers UPF 50+ protection so you don’t have to worry about the sun. I’ve worn these pads in 70-80 degree temperatures and while they are a bit warmer than not wearing anything obviously, the material does a great job of wicking moisture and allowing for a bit of airflow.

The sizing is important with these, so definitely take time to take your measurements. You want the sizing to be pretty spot on in order for you to have all day comfort with your pads. If they are too small, they will be cutting into you and if they are too big, they will be falling down. Luckily, G-Form offers a wide range of sizing from XS to 2XL so you can be sure to get the right fit. To help ensure your pads stay in place, the elastic upper seam also has a silicone strip which helps keep them where they should be.

I haven’t had any issues of the pads moving around and once I get them to where they need to be, they stay there for the entirety of the day. I can’t imagine having pads that are bulky and constantly moving around.

I won’t say that I’m anywhere near the best mountain biker out there but I am good at falling and so I’m grateful to have both the Pro-X Knee Pads and Elbow pads out there to keep my elbows and knees looking like new. Not only do I love the Pro-X pads for biking, they are going to be great when ski season rolls around! I never thought I would be able to stand the feeling of wearing elbow and knee pads while mountain biking but thanks to G-Form, I don’t have to feel them and I get ultimate impact protection!
