Sizing Guide

KH Percussion Armor |
|
Cheap front face fabric prone to fraying |
High quality, 1100 denier ballistics nylon face fabric, with additional patch reinforcement in high wear areas. |
|
Cheap liner fabric prone to wear |
High quality, wicking fabric similar to bike jersey material |
|
Seams are prone to wear, on the inside of the legs |
Minimal stitching, to resist wear. The inside leg reinforcement patch stitching is triple stitched and stitch lines are placed in grooves between shin plastic panels, to resist abrasion. |
|
Thin foam padding does not provide sufficient impact protection to meet European CE standards |
Armor has high quality EVA foam padding and meets CE protection standards. |
|
Low knees prone to sagging |
Higher over the knees, with a low-stretch connector patch from the knee to shin to resist snagging |
|
Knee plastic can be prone to cutting through the face fabric with extended use |
Higher quality face fabric, reinforcement patches, and rounded corners on the knee plastic prevent wear from occurring with use. |
|
Velcro prone to catching on a unicycle fork crown and wearing out |
Unique knee strap design routes the knee straps to the outside of the knee. This keeps the knee pad from catching on the fork crown, and prevents the straps from wearing out |
|
Hot and sweaty behind the knee |
Wraparound leg protection gives coverage where you need it (on the calf), while leaving the back of the knee cool open for venting. |
|
Hook and loop leg straps make it time consuming to put on the armor. |
High quality stretch nylon straps are soft fabric for comfort, and are designed to be quick and easy to put on. |
