Why you should WEAR KNEEPADS on EVERY RIDE
Today we are looking at why you should wear knee pads...even on your easier rides...
I can’t count how many times my knee pads have saved my knees from rock hits and other mountain biking related injuries. With the designs of knee pads getting even easier to wear, it makes them a lot less invasive on your rides.

I've chosen to wear kneepads every (off-road mtb, not gravel) ride and although I don't crash very often, it's saved me on those times, several of which took me completely by surprise.
And as you note, they are so comfortable nowadays it isn't a big deal.
Although I get some irritation from the silicone 'gripper' bands on several different pairs of pads.
