I've ridden these gloves heavily since June. Their durability is impressive - no blown stitches, fraying of fingertips, or between the fingers. The palm has held up admirably, considering how thin it is, showing slight wear where I grip the bar. They basically look new. They also don't harbour funk easily, even after a few rides. A quick run through a cold wash cycle and hang to dry freshens them up if needed.

The Trail Glove is slightly warmer than the Chromag Habit (previously my favourite thin glove), due to the less breathable panel atop the hand. I'll take this as a worthy tradeoff, the Aktas are far more durable and have a higher quality of construction.

Akta nailed the large sizing, it fits true to size, without any bagginess or bunched fabric. No need to size down.

This knee pad exceeds what I expect, from the design to how well it works. The slim profile makes for a more slim look on the legs, the high grade D30 protection provides me with confidence to push a little harder and the design to have the pads stay in place while riding. All equal a pad that should be looked at seriously. Try a pair out and you won’t be disappointed!

They are so comfortable no matter if I’m spending a big day climbing, shuttling or at the bike park. They fit perfectly under pants and don’t fall down at all. These are your do everything knee pad able to withstand all impacts. Love this pad!

I'll start by saying I've been using the 7iDP Sam Hill pads for the past several years. I'm sure anyone looking at these is familiar. These are a step up in every way, with regards to comfort, craftsmanship, and attention to detail with design.

First off, the fit - The size chart was spot on for me. They're evenly snug from top to bottom (no part too tight or too loose), without any pinch points or bunching up, especially behind the knee. Each sleeve is side-specific, being tailored to the asymmetry of each leg. The upper band with the inner silicone is really wide, providing tons of grip to prevent them from sliding down, and the calf strap adds that extra bit of security, without being overly tight. The inner material is all super soft and comfy as well.

As for the finish and details - I took a scrutinous look all the way around each pad, and the stitching was perfect everywhere. The panels are all laid out very well, and I don't feel stitching against my leg anywhere inside the pads.

Surrounding the D3O insert pocket is a padded rib, which keeps you from feeling the edges of the pad. This is a big one for me, as even though I've used the Sam Hills for years, I've always had to put Medipore tape on each side of my knees, as the stiff, sharp outer edges of the insert would cause chafing. In addition to this, the D3O insert used here is significantly more flexible than the SAS-TEC insert used in the Sam Hills, making them way more comfy and easy to move around in. The insert opening is also below the knee, rather than directly over the knee cap, so there's no seam over moving body parts, and that opening is super stretchy, so you don't feel like you're going to rip it every time you remove/insert the pads for washing.

Also another small detail - With the lower opening of the sleeve, the gripper material is only on the back 180° (calf side), with none being on the front 180°. This sounds pretty minor, but I've had other knee pads before with gripper material up front, and this would cause chafing, as that front edge of the lower sleeve wants to get pulled up every time you bend your knee. Really, what I'm getting at here is that even the very smallest of details were considered in the design of these pads.

To confirm all of this, I wore these knee pads yesterday for 8.5 hours, with 6 of those hours spent pedaling (68 miles and 12,100 feet on my Levo), and I didn't think about them even once. They stayed perfectly in place, never needing a single adjustment, and biggest of all, no chafing! This is the first pair of knee pads I've ever used with no chafing, especially after a ride that long. They simply disappeared on my legs, while giving me the confidence of knowing I wouldn't have to get my knee stapled back together (again) if I took a digger.

These are definitely my new go-to pads!

Super comfy fit, no scratching, great ventilation. Nice design too! Solid D3O Protector. (yet to be tested) Definitely feels 1000 times better that the Fox Enduro Pads which I had before. They ripped open after one crash and were too tight in the back of the knee. I don't think this would happen with these. Lot's of side protection too.
What else? Recycled material would be nice so see. Also a little tighter fit for a size M. Other that that: Cheers Travis!

Wardrobe diversification was needed and Akta fit the bill. 88% recycled and 100% satisfied!
Great fit with just enough baggy without getting saggy. Warm enough for winter days on the Shore, and I’m thinking they’ll be light enough for bike park laps this Spring. Padded cell phone pocket is a nice touch.

These are hands down the best unisex pants I’ve tried. Ladies, they fit hips very well. They have a nice waist cut offered a higher back for better coverage. They also have a soft/stick inner material around the waistband to keep the material in place and from cutting in. The waistband offers a stretch adjustment to better fit wherever you fall in the S-XL size scale.

Received pants as a gift, and they were one size to small. Amazing customer service to get them exchanged. Couldn’t have been easier.

Pants are great. Have used on every ride this winter. Fit and thickness are perfect. Easy to use with pads when needed.

Highly recommend.

Great quality, well thought out product. Great fit too! A huge bonus is they are competitively priced and made from recycled materials. They feel more rugged than my fox and raceface gear.

Completely satisfied with this amazing apparel company, and products.
I’ve owned many biking jerseys.
This is hands down the most stylish and comfortable jersey(and trail pants) I’ve ever had the pleasure to wear.
I am an extremely happy customer and will be back for more purchases for sure😊

Just got my new Trail Pants and the fit is perfect. I’m 6ft with a 32-33 waist and the Med fits like like a glove. Knee pad space is great, and the D3O phone pocket is a huge plus. Well done Akta. Can’t wait to try your knee pads too.
