kinda short post but I want to see others reaction.

I had some Dakine Thrillium knee pads that were bulky but I liked nevertheless. Then yesterday I took a decently hard fall and the knee pads failed me at a crucial time. They spun off my leg with the friction of the dirt and left me completely exposed to the dry, dusty, rocky ground at full speed.

well about 80% of the skin on my kneecap is missing now and bending my leg is excruciating. The end.
 
That really sucks man. Hope you recover quickly. You might reach out to Dakine about that. From my experience, they're a decent company and would want to know how their product failed. They might even feel bad and give you a discount/free stuff
 
"DAKINE DIDN'T PROTECT ME FROM MY LACK OF ABILITY TO STAY ON MY OWN FUCKING BIKE! FUCK THEM FOR MAKING A PRODUCT THAT DIDN'T WORK IN MY VERY SPECIFIC SITUATION BECAUSE I COULD HAVE FUCKED UP ON THE SIZING, was WEARING IT INCORRECTLY OR IT WAS JUST FUCKING BAD LUCK! MUST BE A DEFECT! FUCKING DAKINE!!!"

It sucks it wasn't the LEATT brace that failed you, you fucking pussy.

Were they the right size? They really need to fit pretty tight.

They were the right size in case anyone is wondering. Kind of a freak accident. I just picked up some different pads before I rode today and love them. They also have a plastic skid plate on the front so they don’t get ripped off.
