i do not recommend these: read why below:i have been riding wit these on every ride no matter if just to commute or to ride on the trails. now as i have used them a lot i can say that they are not up to my standards.

Design and materials used:

Bliss use the similar mesh design and materials to Raceface,Fox’ Launch Pro,661’s Rage Hard Shell pads,but with just one elastic strap,of course Race Face and 611’s will stay in palce better. If they use the exact same materials they will wear out fast, specially if u grap them by the mesh where the wear elastic materials are and the side pads, which is not what I have done on my bliss ARG’s but they are just too weak they will break and get big holes no matter what you do or not do, so if you crash or take them on and off a lot they will wear off.,this is unacceptable to make such bad products.

protective gear must be durable and withstand much abuse,and be comfortable, if its not don’t buy it unless its the only thing you can get at the time.

Pros:

lightweight
Kevlar® at elbow area,which is very durable material.
more comfortable than plastic pads not as bulky and weird looking when you have a jersey on top of them.

cons:

mine are bit too big,i should have gone with size small.
Hook and loop fastener wear out fast more strap loops needed.
the elastic rubber mattress alike mesh is not durable. Just after few weeks or riding and the mesh on my left pad ripped.it is made of weak of weak material,the mesh stretched until the point it got big holes in it.the elastic band is rubbing holes

its a bit warm.

BLISS ARG Vertical Extended Knee Pad

Pros:

lightweight
Kevlar® at elbow area
Hook and loop fastener on the works well
more comfortable than plastic pads not as bulky and weird looking when you have a jersey on top of them.
they don’t feel warm all around, like the elbow pads.

Cons:

Hook and loop fastener wear out fast
more strap loops needed.
silly logo on the bottom that wears out and looks ugly
they are uncomfortable on the back side of your knees
too little side protection, so the handlebar can hit your knee on the side
they don’t stay in place,they slide down, look at pic below: this is how they will be afther u have doen soem hard riding. they should be about 2 or 3 cm upward, they wear otu pretty fast,so the elastic on the sides wears out and dries out, it looks to be rubber.
the result of wearing bliss arg pads,it hurts afther a while.
the front of the pad gets very hot in the sun,almost feels like a heating oven
they stretched so much that I needed to pull the elastic strap past the hook and loop fastener
