I’m a first time MTB rider and not young at 53 and wanted the extra protection. My first ride with these shorts was suprisingly comfortable and I had forgotten they were there. On my second ride a friend said to follow him over this small jump (it was small), but I landed badly and crashed. Thankfully the shorts helped along with my knee pads, but my exposed elbow took a good hit. So these shorts worked as they should. Sizing is perfect based on the measurement guide. I am exactly 36in (by tape measure) which is the XL, but since I have thin legs I could have gone with the L if I wanted a snug fit since the waistband is very stretchy. I’m happy with the XL though being that there’s no resistance while pedaling uphill.

Well made, unrestrictive, light weight and confidence inspiring. Will see how it copes with some hits soon no doubt.
I would like to suggest that pairing with the shorts by way of press studs or loops would help prevent the back protector creeping up. But that is a minor suggestion for an already top drawer item.

I really love this MTB top. I bought it for skateboarding, as there’s a lack of skate crash shirts which offer both shoulder- and back protection. The Trooper MTB top appears well-made, and the lycra feels soft and comfortable. The subtle v-neck is a nice feature which makes the top less visible under a shirt or jacket. The fit for me was exactly as described on Knox’s site. The padding is substantial enough to provide confidence when skating hard. The top seems to have good thermal properties and moisture wicking – I’ve just tried it on a very warm day. Everything feels like it was designed with care. Thankyou Knox for the great product, and for investing in jobs and skills in the UK (and in my home county too)!

Usual great quality from Knox, these padded shorts saved my posterior on a recent snowboard trip.

Wow. First of all, super fast delivery from UK to Sweden. Second, these shorts are exactly what I hoped they would be. Very comfortable fit and high quality feel. Awesome flexibility with removable pads. Will fit perfectly under my kevlar jeans this summer!

Great shorts. Good fit. I ordered a large and they fit just fine, 34″-36″ waist. Good protection on hips and tail bone which is what i was after. I’m already considering the Trooper top to go with them.

Nice little shirt, good design, protection isn’t even visible

Say goodbye to cuts and bruises when wearing the Trooper top, it is brilliant for all kinds of cycling as I always forget that I’m wearing it because it’s so comfy. It has also allowed Me to walk away unharmed from a few crashes that I have had.

The Trooper Top is the best upper body protector I have used. riding downhill it needs to be light and flexible which is exactly what the trooper top provides, this means you completely forget it’s there. In the event of a crash the back plate and shoulder pads take almost all the impact, inspiring confidence and keeping you safe!
I couldn’t recommend it enough to anyone looking for a full back plate.

Shorts fit great under motorcycle jeans, good extra protection & comfy .. Would recommend but with size I’m normally a size 34 but was a little to big changed for size 32 & great fit

Very pleased they offer the hip armour I wanted without the bulk everywhere, offer more insulation which is welcome into colder months, not sure about midsummer thou.

Pulled on my new Trooper MTB Shorts under a pair of Hood K7s. Very comfortable, jeans look fine off the bike plus the legendary Knox protection. Great partner for the Knox Armoured Shirt. Very happy thanks Knox!

1st event of 2015 it was a lovely sunny morning in whinlatter forest Cumbria for the Xtreme Duathlon. Undecided what to wear opted for full protection just incase of the unexpected. tropper top with the dry inside sports fit Tshirts on top one of the most comfortable combinations I have ever worn just like the rest of the knox protection I use for my Mtb racing / endurance events
