Bone and Joint protection
Our body armor products developed to protect your elbows, knees and legs come in two versions.

Bone VPD Leg
A knee/shin guard with shields made of sturdy Polypropylene and the inside of highly ventilated comfort lining. The top piece protecting your knee is made of VPD. Fit and mobility is crucial, without sacrificing protection. We have seen many products not doing the job. Long hours have been spent to develop the best possible ergonomics and fastening solutions and we succeeded.
The Bone VPD Leg comes with a fully detachable calf protector, saving you from blood spill when your pedal hits you from behind.
Biketart’s Opinion
These are the most comfortable knee/shins out there. The knee pivot is above the knee, which sounds odd but it means you can walk/pedal without restriction like normal pads.
Above the knee cup is the VPD material enclosed within aramid fibre. This offers protection above the knee – this is brilliant… most other pads will slip down, and when you crash you often end up bashing yourself just above the knee cap. Not with these!
I recently smashed up my shin, and have to wear shin pads from now on – as another impact wouldn’t be good news. I was really dreading it as I usually ride in knee pads. Since we got hese in my opinion has changed. They give stunning protection but are comfy to wear.
