Our review

Well-priced pads but improved upper retention would certainly increase their appeal

Skip to view product specifications

The price is certainly appealing and we like that the Glider LTs look different to most other pads on the market. The single lower strap holds them in place well, gripping at just about the top of your calf muscle.

The lightweight construction and soft inners mean they’re comfortable even when you’re out all day. A tighter, elasticated upper would help hold the pad in place more tightly when your knee is fully ﬂexed though, and we’d like the biofoam padding to be a little thicker to deal with larger falls.

Technical editor-in-chief

Technical editor-in-chief, Rob Weaver, manages all of the testing here at BikeRadar and across our magazines, Mountain Biking UK and Cycling Plus. Rob first graced the pages of MBUK back in 2001 when working as a freelancer and went on to start testing bikes for the title in 2007. In 2010 he joined the team full-time and has been keeping a close eye on all things test-related ever since. Rob’s expansive knowledge of bikes comes courtesy of his passion for racing. He cut his teeth racing cross-country mountain bikes in the early 90s before finding his feet in the discipline of downhill. After many years competing on the UK national circuit (including a year attempting to race UCI DH World Cups), Rob realised his know-how and passion for bike setup, tech and writing clearly outweighed his racing ability. A degree in Sports Technology and decades of riding experience all help to give Rob a thorough understanding of what’s needed to create a great bike or product. It helps that he’s more passionate about riding than ever and will spend much of his free time consuming just about every bike-related publication he can get his hands on. While Rob’s a mountain biker at heart and never happier than when he’s sliding down a Welsh hillside, he’s more than happy to put the miles in on the road or gravel bike, too.
