I'm healing form a chest injury and decided to upgrade my upper body protection(lesson learned the hard way)... This got me thinking, maybe I better do the smart thing and replace old knee guards with real knee braces. These POD K4's are making to the top of my list, thanks for the review.

I'm rocking the K8s. Version 1. I got them used for a song in good condition and love them. Lots of protection and very comfortable and POD supports their old products so you can get replacement parts or upgrade over time.

Thank you for the awesome video, really appreciated. Stay safe Bro!!

Glad I found this. Getting ready to get some Pods. Was going back and forth on the size but after this you are about my size. Going to lock in the XLs.

Thanks for the great review. I'm thinking about these for riding my HD Heritage Softail. At 65, I've had multiple knee surgeries, and I am not ready to stop riding, but one mishap would most likely put me out of commission. My left knee is worse than my right, all I have to do is bump it and I see stars. My one pair of leather riding pants should fit these. Have you had any issues with the Pod fitting inside your riding pants? I appreciate any advice. Thanks again.

Motocross style pants have a little more room built into them for knee braces.. I’m not sure about street leathers.. you could most likely wear these on the outside of your riding pants if that would be an option?

You should check with your doctor and insurance. They might pay for them since you have bad knees, as I do (American football.) The Asterisk carbon ones are about the slimmest. I recommend the Rocky Mountain ATV and moto videos. He is selling braces, of course, but does direct comparisons.

You’re just fine.. So far they’re holding up great! The upper and lower buckles I don’t have on very tight so there is not a lot of tension on them.. hopefully they do last a few years at least. Pod from what I understand offers rebuild parts to freshen them up

Just picked up a set of these. I noticed that they make it harder to flex your knee past 90 degrees...like when you are siting on the very front of the seat. I have long legs and have to bend my knee tight in that position. Is this the same for you? Just have to get used to it?

It took maybe 2 or so rides before i got used to them but now I wont ride without them. The other day i took the bike down the road and i felt naked without them! The answer to your question on the pressure while folding your leg past 90 degrees.. I haven’t noticed this at all but im standing a lot of the time while riding and if I’m sitting on the front of the seat, its the only time when I have leg up to the forks (extended straight out) entering into a turn. The opposite leg thats on the peg Ive never noticed that bad of a pressure. How tall are you?

@@andychips6923 I'm 6'1". What you described is the same situation that I'm on the front of the seat. Normally I will bring my inside leg back to the peg while exiting the corner and stand back up. I have to use a noticeable amount of effort to pull my leg back to the peg. It's probably normal with braces, but this is my first set. I might try running the strap above the knee a bit less tight.

So you can use these on a motorbike too?

Ya my buddies filming wasn’t the best.. testing his new camera haha Are you talking about the inserts for the hinge? Or the spacers that go against the knee? The hinge inserts just push in.. very easy. And the spacers are just Velcro. They’ve been holding up great so far

With the pads on the side, they are thicker one side than the other, does the thicker side go towards the knee cup or the back of the leg

Nothing pad wise goes on the “anterior” side of the leg.. if that’s what you’re trying to ask. You have the medial side of the knee (inner) and the lateral side of the knee (outer) where either of the pads go.. and they work well. Since this video I’ve lost 40 pounds from a bad get off.. over the bars and I was using the LARGEST pads in the set in this video. So I’m probably going to have to order a size down now of these knee braces 😬
