Pros: The Alpinestar Bionic Knee Guards are a great design and would do an A+ job in the event of a get-off.
Cons: They are a bit large for me. I felt as if I had my hockey shin guards on that pushed the limits of my jeans.
Great product from an outstanding company, just not for me. I am 6" 2", 215 and I could hide them under a loose pair of jeans while riding. Very apparent when off the bike.

Do the job just fine
By Joaquim from La jolla, CA on 10/16/2007
Pros: Fit well and comfortably. Sturdy, good range of motion, both under or over a pair of pants.
Cons: Sides will scratch your tank if you wear them over your pants. Not comfortable enough to keep on when off the bike.

Pros: Looks cool, does not interfere with natural leg movement.
Cons: Padding much thinner than expected, looks like it sill would be painful if I land on my knee. Not exactly comfortable. Slides down somewhat after a while.

Alpinestars Bionic Knee Guards

- They look cool.
- Inner padding can be removed to be washed.

- Small enough to wear under relaxed-fit jeans.
Cons: - If you wear these over your clothing, you WILL scratch your tank/frame (metal hinge joint scratches frame, and the plastic itself will scratch tank).
- Will not fit under tight jeans/leathers.
- Make noise when walking (obviously, not a con if it doesn't bother you).
- You'll have to learn how to fit them properly (You might find yourself messing with them once on the bike).
