This summer we tested four pairs of mountain bike knee pads for trail and enduro riding from thin and lightweight to full-on protection.
The Race Face Flank Core body protector features D3O pads on the shoulders and back sewn into a durable mesh shirt.
The SixSixOne Recon D3O knee pads are a good choice for almost any mountain bike ride.
The Bluegrass engineers aimed to create a unisex-fit mountain bike torso sleeve that's as comfortable and breathable as possible. The result: The Bluegrass Seamless Lite D3O back protector.

Not the most comfortable knee pads, but a crash test proves they work damn well on impact.
