World-Class Protection
The Sam Hill Knee Pads provide CE Level 2 impact protection with Type B coverage, offering a larger protected area than Type A certified pads.
Additional padding around the main kneecap also helps provide lateral coverage beyond the mandatory CE protection zones.
Built for Enduro & Gravity Riding
The Sam Hill Knee was created for riders who need enough protection for aggressive riding but still want to pedal comfortably between descents.
The flexible construction allows the pad to move naturally with your leg, making it well suited to enduro racing, technical trail riding and long days on an eMTB.
A pre-curved shape and flexible sleeve help reduce restriction while pedalling, making the Sam Hill Knee suitable for rides where you're climbing as well as descending.
Secure Compression Fit
Rather than relying on bulky external straps, the Sam Hill Knee uses a long compression-style sleeve that extends higher up the thigh.
Internal silicone grippers help hold the pad securely in place, while additional silicone detailing on the outside cuffs can help grip against compatible riding shorts.
Breathable 4-Way Stretch Construction
A breathable 4-way stretch mesh runs along the rear of the pad and across the lower front section to improve airflow.
This helps manage heat and moisture during longer rides while maintaining enough flexibility for comfortable pedalling.
Made for All-Day Riding
The combination of breathable mesh, flexible materials and a secure compression fit means the Sam Hill Knee Pads can provide substantial protection without feeling like traditional heavy-duty hard-shell armour.
Pre-Curved Ergonomic Fit
The pre-curved construction follows the natural riding position of your knee, helping the pad sit comfortably when you're standing on the pedals or seated and climbing.
Correct sizing is important to ensure the knee protector remains securely positioned during a ride.
