I see a lot of snow board reviewers here; anybody use them for dirt bike (motorcycle) protection? If so, how do you like them?

I use them for skateboarding on my mini ramp along with a slimmer pair of pads underneath them and then jeans over everything. They work great and protect me exactly where I wanted it on my hips. I've fallen a million times on hard wood or dirt and I never feel like I've been "hurt."

I think they are surprisingly fast on pavement. They also perform well in gravel and on fire trails. Mud I doubt, and cornering in wet pavement is not great. Grass is no problem, and sticks no problem i would think. They are versatile in my opinion, but its not a mountain bike tire nor a road tire, its in the middle ground, good at many things but not great at 1. Hope that helps.

I've used them while snowmobiling and they work great for me. You can't beat the price.

HI I used them last winter for snow blowing, during our brutal cold winter, and they worked very well. So well, I bought another pair . I think you will be glad to have them on - on the slopes.

Well...Since it is December I haven't ridden at all. MY issue is that I am wondering whether or not to take the baffles out. It's easy to do.. Heat shields? Never seen em. They do get hot though.

@cheetah2000, it is a great board if you are around 110 or more. Is gunna feel weird at first but definatly loosen trucks before you ride.

I use them for running. I ran a trail 1/2 marathon in them last year in icy conditions and they worked great. Very good on ice and hardpack snow. In deep, soft snow they don't help much.

I can't relate to skis, however I snowboard and they are very reliable pads. You should be just fine wearing them.

They definitely look like they can withstand some winter abuse. Having said that, I live in CO and took mine off for the winter. Didn't want snow/rain getting inside the metal mechanism.

Hi John.I've have this pair on my full suspension mtb. They lasted me a bit then broke off. Rear will break off first then front.For the front fender, I had issues having it stay in tight so I did some modifications by putting a rubber band to get a better grip to stay in.My advise to you is, buy the DeFender™ XC1/XC11 Set, they come in 26 and 29 inch depending on your wheel size. Find them cheap on ebay! Got mine there. They look much better, more durable, and newest model from Topeak. Yours is a hardtail so you'll be fine. More of a problem with full suspension bikes when it comes to rear fenders but there are special ones made for FS MTB like the mudhugger. Hi John.I've have this pair on my full suspension mtb.

I ride my ebike in drizzly conditions and they keep everything inside dry. purchased mine two years ago and they still are holding up just fine.

Yes that's what I use them on and they work great. I've driven 75+ on the freeway with no prob. I usually have one to two short boards on there.

I would think pretty good.. I use them for snow blowing in the winter, but they fit well and don't move around. They are well made.

I personally bought them for mountain biking, they are light, breathable and have good knuckle protection. They do run a bit small so I recommend get them one size up; enjoy the ride.

they protect the snowblower by being cheap, soft, probably un graded hardware. The idea is if you hit a rock and jam the blade the bolt SNAPS to prevent damaging the machine. They are designed to fail; that is their function. HTH.

I just bought mine and put in in January. I like them. They fit perfectly, though If I had designed them I might have made them a little higher on the drivers side where my left foot goes. There is a place there that gets dirty above the mat. I'm guessing they left the space for safety for braking, in case it might get in the way of the pedal? Anyway, so far, so good. They are collecting a lot of road sand and dirt and ice and snow, especially this winter. I didn't know anyone gave a longer warranty these days. Are the Husky's custom fitted like these? They are pricey, but I think a worthwhile investment, especially with off white carpet in my Prius! I just bought mine and put in in January. I like them.
