The Cleaver knee and shin protector are based on the super light "Mallet" series, however they are more thickly padded and protected for improved protection and are ideal mainly for racing. Manufactured from two components, the hard shells combine optimal protection with outstanding comfort. The patented SqueezeboxTM system allows the protector to move when pedalling and supports a high degree of comfort of the Cleaver. iXS protectors meet the European safety standard EN1621-1 and EN1621-2 respectively.
Features:
AeroMeshTM, light, moisture wicking, breathable
ArmadilloDuoTM compression shells
SqueezeboxTM, moveable joint
KneeGussetTM, prevents rolling and optimises impact absorption
The first pair delivered was defective in the stiching. Fortunately FC moto immediately shipped a new pair when I returned them. I will not let this affect my overall impression of these knee protectors. Apart from the minor quality control problem, they are extremely robust an well made, as always for IXS. Protects the whole lower leg including shins and sides of the knee. Seems very comfy as well. Bought them for my 12 year old son (size M, they are somewhat small in the sizes). Very happy with the purchase, he will be well protected during his DH/enduro rides.
