Knees are among the most vulnerable parts of the body during a crash. Motorcycle pants with built-in knee armor absorb and distribute impact forces, minimizing the risk of fractures or severe injuries. High-quality knee protectors are often CE-certified to meet safety standards, ensuring maximum protection.
For riders who prefer modular options, standalone knee pads can be worn over or under regular riding pants to provide similar levels of protection. In my accident, my standalone knee pads played a crucial role in preventing my knees and lower leg.
Hips are prone to fractures during falls or collisions, especially at high speeds. Pants with hip armor reduce the impact forces, protecting the pelvic region from serious injuries. Integrated or removable hip pads are a standard feature in most high-quality motorcycle pants.
For additional comfort and protection, riders can opt for padded underwear with built-in hip and tailbone protection. These are lightweight, breathable, and ideal for those who want added safety without compromising flexibility.
