Jettribe has designed two different types of leg protectors, one for stand-up riders and one for Runabout riders. The particular ones-JTG 11418- are specifically designed for Runabout racers. They are light weight due to the neoprene and air mesh materials. Also they feature built-in water drain holes to keep water from logging it down. The Reactive Leg Shield front and side impact panels are made of five layers of energy dissipating materials and two honeycomb polycarbonate sheets. Additionally, their construction includes EVA high density energy absorbing foam and all materials are wrapped in 1680D Ballistic nylon. You put them on by adjusting the two main straps around your leg in such a way in order to secure them in the right place without being too tight. You do the same thing on the upper strap which wraps around above the knee. This, third strap should be adjusted a little bit looser according to the riders needs so it will not get tighter when the knee is fully bent. During riding or practicing those Jettribe leg protectors do not move around your leg. They remain in their initial position and practically you do not feel them at all. We tested them over two months while practicing or testing Runabouts and we have been impressed with their unique design, fit and comfort. For $89.99 it is a money well spent option for any racer.
