Hi there fellow MTB community!

I recently started my MTB journey and got along with some downhill fellows and started going down some trails. Two rides, two falls, lots of bruises and I fell in love with it..!!

Not to get into much details but I am looking for knee pads and I am between these two options (my apologies for the links in Greek, in case they don't work for you):

• FOX enduro D3O
  • https://www.skroutz.gr/s/38247950/Fox-Enduro-Prostateytikes-Epigonatides-Motosykletisti-30091-001.html?google_shopping=true
• Decathlon D3O feel strong
  • https://www.decathlon.com.gr/el/p/349063-393238-epigonatides-all-mountain-enduro-feel-dstrong-d3oR.html

Now the thing is that I love going uphill and riding for hours and from what I found online it appears that the Decathlon ones are too hot in comparison to the FOX ones that you "forget that you wear them". I dont mind spending 3-4 hours riding my Hardtail bike up the hill and but I am afraid that if the kneepads are too bulky and hot then I might not want to wear them.. which is a pity.

Any help is appreciated!!

Thanks in advance!
