Looking for serious knee and shin protection? The Demon Hyper Knee/Shin X D3O delivers some serious benefits! Running along the front of the pad is a Kevlar front shield, making it ultra durable. Protecting your knee and shin is the new impact technology of D3O. This is embedded into each pad, absorbing the shock of any wipeout while always form fitting to your legs. Behind the D3O is memory foam lining, offering that much more protection against wipeouts and making this the kind of pad you could wear all day. The airoprene (perforated neoprene) body is ultra lightweight and keeps your legs highly ventilated.
