1st time using knee braces, and I must say these POD K4 fit nicely. Soon into my ride (Enduro), my apprehension of awkwardness wearing braces while riding was gone and I was able to ride like normal. Brian was very mindful of the importance of sizing and was kind enough to call to double check that I have the right one ordered. Overall these feel comfortable to wear and are well made and affordable.
I tried a few braces between the $500-$700 price range, but these were the best fit for me (in terms of quality, comfort, functionality and value for price). Wore this for an all-day off-road training, 95F+ brain melting heat, no problem; I forgot that I had it on after a few minutes on the bike (and these were my first braces!). Walking is also fine, makes a bit of a noise. Did not have any issues holding onto the bike either while standing. I wore it under a Mosko Woodsman Enduro ITB pants (32), no issues, but a somewhat tight fit. I would strongly suggest wearing brace sleeves.
Lucky it has not been crash tested, I wish the patella was a bit more protected and if all the straps had 'memory' (top and bottom has).
I purchased these braces for some extra protection adventure and dualsport riding. I'm not a racer, but wanted the extra support and protection taking bigger bikes through questionable terrain. I've only got one day of riding on them so far, a 6 hours ride on dirt and two-track. These braces are very comfortable, and after a couple hours I didn't even notice I was wearing them. I was a bit worried that they wouldn't fit under my Klim Badlands pants, but they do. I wear a 36 tall in the 2017 vintage Badlands, and a XL/2XL POD K4 2.0. There is plenty of room and my pants didn't bind up at all. Great product and great customer service!
Love them; need size 10, ordered 9; run slightly smaller. Was told I couldn’t return them, but not sure why…
Boots are awesome. Confidence inspiring. It is taking some adjustment for shifting and rear braking but not a big deal. Taking a bit for break-in but better every time I put them on. Brian’s advice was spot for me. I am no pro but with these boots I feel much more connected to the bike! Best price I found and arrive on time as promised.
I bought these boots because they are real leather with a stitched on sole . I bought them from atomic moto because I bought a set from them several years ago and had a good experience. With this pair Brian really work with me over the phone with photos and video of my foot . In an effort to get the correct size the first time. From just trying these on he did it. I'd like to ride with them but that just has not happened yet. They look great and feel good walking around the house.
It was a pleasure purchasing these from Atomic moto. Great boots, great advice and great price.
I'm a hardcore Astars guy. I was looking for a better ventilated Tech 7 replacement and found Atomic Moto over on ADV Rider and then YouTube. I couldn't find a bad word about A.M. or Brian.
After a good phone call to discuss my sizing issue with the Tech 7, Brian had a pair of these on the way. My first ride was 200 mile off-road trip, and I never missed the trusty Tech 7 once. This was a fantastic swap, and it's absolutely a better, more technical, and more comfortable boot.
