Hot or Not? SERYT YOUTH Flow Knee Pads — practical review for parents and riders

# Overview

SERYT YOUTH Flow Knee Pads are a kids' version of a concept used in the brand's adult models. Designed by former downhill pro Carlo Gambirasio, they aim to combine comfort, ventilation and Level 2 protection at a family-friendly price (€59).

Test details: Tom, age 10, used size L/XL over a three-month period on trails, bike parks and pump tracks.

# Fit and comfort

Silicone grippers on the upper cuff held the pads in place even on steep climbs and rough trails. The lightweight construction and ventilation stood out: the tester sometimes forgot to remove them after rides and kept wearing them while playing.

# Protection and trail performance

# Everyday durability and care

The main durability caveat is the fine stretchy fabric. It can snag if it comes into contact with sharp pedal pins or Velcro fasteners on trousers.

# Who these are for

Choose SERYT YOUTH Flow Knee Pads if your child:

• Likes colourful designs and a close, comfortable fit
• Needs lightweight, well-ventilated protection for warm-weather riding

• Has to put knee pads on without removing shoes
• Needs an adjustable fit via Velcro straps
• Requires extra hard-shell or extended shin protection

# Verdict

Pads deliver an effective mix of comfort, ventilation and certified Level 2 protection for young riders who fit within the two offered size ranges. The slip-on, strap-free construction is comfortable and secure when the correct size is chosen, but it requires careful sizing because there is no post-purchase adjustment. The pads are a strong option for kids who spend long, warm days on the bike and for families who want higher protection than typical Level 1 kids' pads offer.
