I'm looking to buy new knee guards as my other one's are 10 years old. I bought new one's before (I think from Acerbis) but they were really shit. I dropped on my knees to work on the bike (while I had them on) and they broke from that 'impact' Huh

Therefore I was wondering if somebody knows decent knee guards (around the $100 mark, if it's cheaper than it's also good). Wink

If I would have money floating around, I would defintely buy knee braces ala Asteriks but they are unfortunately out of my price range.

I have a set of Leatt dual axis and I really like them. I have had guards and braces and theses are kind of in between. Super comfortable and they were around $80

Thor force knee guard has some bracing to it and is a decent product. Unfortunately its still very much a knee guard and not a brace, but it's reasonably priced and in my opinion is a good compromise for price vs protection.

I've used the Leatt Dual Axis, and they wore a hole in the side of my Troy Lee pants (through the leather). The cause was the hinge rubbing.

Yep I used them for a few years before I got braces and they are super nice. You won't be disappointed!
