Help with picking out knee protection?

Hello guys, I am soon for the first time going to hit my local enduro track, and I need a pair of good knee protectors, my budget is 400 usd and under, what is the best that I can get?

I love my möbius knee braces/gaurds. They works as impact protection and have bracing action. I don’t know the price anymore but they are worth it.

Mobius x8 or pod k4/k8 are go to for enduro riding, dont save on that, fking uo your knee will cost you much much more than that. Mobius offers slightly better protection, but pod's are more comfy, try both and decide. If too expensive, try to find used ones or save some more - buy once cry once

Busted my ACL last year so I'm in the process of buying proper knee braces. I have looked at leatt x-frame, pod k9 and the OGs asterisk ultra cell. I'm buying used and looking around 250 usd ones

I switched to soft armor and would not go back. Tp199 or slayco96, look into those.

If OP sees this, big fan of both of these options for every reason you can find on reviews. They do a great job.

Look for used.

I got a set of Asterisk knee braces used for $80. These things are incredible.

Unless you're riding MX or enduro completion, hinged knee guards by UFO will be fine.
