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!
I had two zippers fail on my Badland Pro pants. Brian arranged for Klim to repair them with no hassle, excellent service by Atomic Moto (as I've come to expect) and nice to know Klim stand behind their products.
This is my second pair of Sidi Adventure 2 boots. I purchased the first pair seven or eight years ago and rode across Europe\Russia with multiple days of rain. The boots were awesome and always kept my feet dry and are still in excellent condition. When I decided to purchase a second pair, in brown, Brian at Atomic Moto was able to provide them when other major retailers did not have availability.
Super comfy right out of the dam box. And as usual for Alpine stars riding gear the quality was top-notch.
Absolutely love my Tech 7. This is my 2nd pair that I'm buying in last 4 years. These shoes you can wear them instantly (from box to bike) without a break in period
These boots are actually lighter than I thought they would be and are very comfortable. Surprising for a full protection boot!
