The flexible Armourgel padding on these ARG knee pads is relatively thin and moulds to your knees easily and quickly. They’re not the bulkiest pads out there, making them better suited to trail riding and enduro racing than downhill. They go relatively unnoticed on long trail rides, remaining pleasingly comfy throughout.
Alongside the main pad covering the kneecap, there’s additional EVA foam padding on either side to help ward off knocks. The mesh backing and cutout behind the knee help prevent things heating up too much, and there’s very little bunching when the knee is fully flexed. The Velcro straps at the top and bottom of the pads ensure they stay firmly in place, even on long sweaty rides.
Bliss may be relatively new to the market, but with kit like this in the line-up, it's a name that shouldn’t be overlooked.
