When it comes to mountain bike knee pads, we’ve ridden more than we can recall. Every year we test countless pads, and sometimes they stay in our regular rotation while others get passed on to friends while we keep riding our old favorites. The Race Face Indy Knee protectors have definitely made their way to the front of the gear shelf and have been getting lots of use, and will continue to even after this review gets published. Featuring D3O impact protection, a tall thigh sleeve and effective calf-strap, the pads do a really nice job of blending protection with comfort.
Race Face took their popular Indy knee pad and set out to make some improvements for riders looking for a great pedaling yet safe knee pad.

The Loam Wolf has been watching from the woods and mountains above, waiting for the right time to attack the status quo. We have descended, hell-bent and heaven-sent to reignite the stoke in riders around the world. Our pack has been growing and we smell blood. The passion, wildness, and grassroots love for our sport will no longer go without a voice. The Wolf Pack is here, and we will do our best to unite photographers, industry friends, athletes and mountain bikers of all kinds while giving them a voice and place to remember why they fell in love with riding bikes.
