Knee Guard

Built for rugged snowmobile rides, the Mountain Lab Knee/Shin Pads offer a balance of solid protection and natural mobility. With a hard outer shell and stretch-leg straps, they stay in place without pinching behind the knee or cramping your calves.

Sold as pair. 

Why We Built Them

• Stay-put design: We prioritized leg straps that stretch instead of slip, so the pad stays centered during long rides or aggressive moves — no shifting side-to-side. 

• Mobility without compromise: The shell gives you hard-cap protection while the stretch material around your legs lets you bend, kneel, and move freely without restriction. 

• Comfort for long wear: Riders told us that pads sometimes pinch the calves — we eliminated that by using flexible straps that don’t constrict, even over boots. 

Testing & Real-Use Scenarios

• Cold, long rides: Tested on snowmobile trips through frosty terrain — straps kept their elasticity and didn’t harden or irritate, even after hours.

• High-movement maneuvers: During aggressive riding (cornering, standing up, and leaning), the pads remain firmly in place, protecting the shin without wobble.

• Impact protection: With a tough outer shell, these pads withstand repeated bumps from trail obstacles, foot pegs, and snow spray without cracking or shifting.

When You’ll Get Full Value Out of It

• Every ride with risk: When you're riding terrain that could send debris, branches, or snow spray up at your legs.

• Long-distance touring or backcountry: When you wear gear all day, comfort and secure fit matter as much as protection.

• Rider style that demands mobility: If you stand, shift weight, or brace often — these pads let you move naturally.

• Cold conditions: The stretchy straps stay flexible and your shins stay protected without bulk or stiffness.
