I actually bought a pair a couple weeks ago, but despite following the sizing instructions exactly, I got the wrong size. They wanted me to pay $130 to resize them but I twisted their arm in to refunding my money, although I still had to pay $60 shipping. This experience has soured me towards them, but that hasn't stopped me from wanting the best knee pads possible.

I found mobility was a real issue. I had to be really deliberate and thoughtful of how and where I placed my knee because I was so prone to falling off them. Obviously this is very likely due to them being the wrong size, but I'm nervous dropping $500 again. I really want to make sure I'm getting something not just good, or great. But exceptional.

Right now I use ToughBuilt GelFit which are fantastic. But I really am looking for the absolute best here. I'm also open to other suggestions

I contacted the mod who banned me. No response.

Seat post is 34.9. External diameter of seat tube is 40mm. I found this collar that says it's 41mm, but it also says "With a 41mm diameter, for most folding bikes with a 33.9mm tube diameter." in the description which is throwing me off. I've actually seen a couple that say almost the exact same thing. I did not realize how difficult it would be to find the right size. I've already ordered the wrong one once which is why I'm asking you guys.

Thanks for the help

I'd been curious about them for years. Got to try them out today. Not fitted for me, unfortunately. I found them to be a tad bit cumbersome, which could certainly be due to fit, and the fact that I wasn't used to them. I already found myself getting "better" at them by the end of the day.

The issue is I could see myself frequently taking them off to do non-flooring things if they're a pain. And that will inevitably lead to not putting them back on all the time. All the pads I've used thus far have been perfectly good for walking around in all day. I even drive and take my lunch break in them.

So what are your guys' experiences with how tolerable they are for hours, or for walking in?
