With a 4-way stretch mesh backing and ergonomic fit, the Slayers will ensure you stay comfortable throughout the entire ride. Most importantly, the CE-certified foam padding, 4-way stretch mesh, and abrasion-resistant cover ensure you are protected and keep the pads sitting where you need them.

Protection Style: These are an open back, slip-on style pad with a 4-way stretch construction to keep them in place. There are no Velcro straps on these pads so make sure you get the sizing right.

- Shell: Ariaprene Pro 4-way stretch fabric with Aramid fibre abrasion resistance.
- Mesh back: 75% polyester, 25% nylon
- Insert: CE Certified polyurethane impact foam
Closure or Slip-on: These are a slip-on style pad so there are no straps or anything like that.

Pros: A low-profile pad that is comfortable enough to pedal around in all day and offers enough protection to keep your knees intact for pretty much any type of riding.
Cons: You'll have to make sure that you get the sizing right so that the pads stay in place and won't need to be readjusted all the time.
Product Reviews
- Adam P.Verified BuyerRated 3 out of 5 stars3 months agoHIGH QUALITY. NOT RECOMMENDED FOR PEDALLING
ON opening the package my first thoughts were wow high quality product. They fit on the tightr side. Once I started riding I found them to be buched up behind the knee and uncomfortable when climbing. Great on the decent. As for protection I believe they would be excellent.
- Christopher W.Verified BuyerRated 4 out of 5 stars1 year agoThe sizes run small
These knee pads are quite nice in build and quality. However on measurements I would be a medium hence my purchase however I would actually fit a Large better. Once I got them they were very difficult to get on initially. I had washed them a few times to help loosen the elastic and this did help. Wearing them they are comfortable and look like they will protect well (i have not crashed with them yet). They are just really tight on the backside of the knee where the leg bends however i did expect that due to them being a slipon.
MDMTB Direct Australia1 year agoGood afternoon Chris,
Thanks for taking the time to write a review, we always appreciate hearing real world experiences from our customers.
We recently discovered an error on the sizing charts for the Dakine Slayer range of protection. The charts have since been updated to properly reflect the product measurements and future orders fill fit true to size.
Please let me know if I can provide any further assistance.
Cheers,
Jono - Momentum Is Your F.Verified BuyerRated 4 out of 5 stars1 year agoTight but non slip knee pads
They are bit of a mission to get on but once they are on, they won't be coming off until it's shower time!
I am looking forward to seeing how they go long term, if they get a little looser...
The padding itself is good for most hits, it will save your skin in most cases.
- Momentum Is Your F.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 year agoVery happy customer
Initially I ordered the wrong size, but with the help of the MTB Direct staff, I was able to get the correct size and am very happy with the fit.
They are tight and difficult to just slide on, but once they're in position, they aren't moving!
Light, not too hot and flexible enough to fit my movements.
