What a ridiculous, wafer thin, piece of...I can't even bring myself to call it armor. A thin, pliable piece of rubbery plastic that would serve one function...to make you sweat uderneath it.

i am not impressed with this product. it is thin rubber or a rubber like substance. when i first got it i wasn't sure what to think of it and decided to test it out. i put it in my pants and went out to a grass field in a local park and did some falls. it did absolutely nothing. i could not feel any difference between having them in or out (no armor).
No, I do not recommend this product.

I received my order today and found that there is no documentation for this product included in the shipping package. I called Revzilla and spoke with a customer service agent who helped me orient the armor. Apparently, the smooth side of the armor goes toward your knee, and the bumpy side faces out. That being said, the armor is very light and very thin. I have seen demonstrations on how this armor works and I have no fears about the armor being protective and safe for riding.
I replaced the foam knee protection in my Firstgear Mesh tec 2.0 pants, which felt a bit flimsy to me and did not inspire much confidence.

Neat stuff

Really amazing what this thin piece of rubber does. If you dig through the Hein Gericke literature, you'll find that a residual force of 24.5kN is transmitted when the pad is subject to the CE test. While by no means the best pads out there, they do a very good job at absorbing energy with very little bulk.
These are great for putting in a tight jacket to get a little more arm room, or behind the stock pads of a loose jacket to give a tighter fit.
Pros Comfortable, Protective
Yes, I recommend this product.

There is no documentation with the knee pads, and nothing on the pads themselves to indicate their orientation. Does the smooth side face out or in?
