Claudio Posted January 17, 2014 Share A spongy, lightweight padding that can take a beating like proper hard-cased pads may seem far-fetched to say the least. But the time spent on G-Form's pads has been anything but painful and they have proved their resilience time and again.

Dan Dob Posted January 17, 2014 Share Bought some of these from Olympic cycles. Of all the pads I've tried, these ones were the ones I noticed least, once they were on me. That said, the price tag is super high for what I think, are pads that won't last very long (Lycra sock, with a rubbery cap on it essentially). Sizing is interesting. I have super skinny legs (think grasshopper) and my medium kneepads were super tight! Very tight and yet they still slid down my knee in a crash in the Simonsberg Enduro. Hmmm. I also can't stand the look of them. Wish they would do away with the spider-man style pattern and make something that looks a bit more like traditional guards. All considered though, I still think they are still the best pads for our hot conditions and for (most of our) trails that don't demand full on hardcover, bulky pads. I'll be buying big-boy pads for my DH trip to France later this year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rata Del Spruit Posted January 17, 2014 Share I'm also keen to see how well they work in a slide situation. I think my biggest fear with them is shifting or rolling if you end up taking a dry duck dive. Report back once you've had one of those Claudio 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicoBoshoff Posted November 2, 2014 Share These pads are the biggest pile on the market. Had two crashes and the lycra just disintigrated leaving me with exactly the same abrasion damage had I been wearing my pyjamas! As for impact resistance, friend came off in France and had a direct impact with a rock on the knee padding. Result was a trip to the emergency room and a bunch of stitches later. Inspection of the pad revealed a massive hole in the padding, rock pierced right through it. I seriously doubt this would have happened with proper 661's or POC's. They're a gimmick and the look crap. R1500 I'll never get back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
