END 033 Knieschoner Test Review Leatt Airflex Pro 6 best value 1140x760

At 255 g, the Leatt AirFlex Pro is the lightest certified knee pad in this category and the soft protector makes for a comfortably snug fit. While no competition for the best models in the lab, the Leatt is still able to provide decent protection. The small additional side pads reduce the risk of abrasions. Despite not having any straps, the AirFlex Pro has a snug fit around the knee. All in all, the Leatt demonstrates an sound overall concept and the good ventilation makes it a wise choice for warmer days. If you are looking for a very light knee pad and are willing to compromise on maximum protection you should take a closer look at the Leatt AirFlex Pro: our Best Value tip!
