The KETL Mtn shenanigan pants are a unique pant in the adventure segment. Their goal is to be a high performance outdoors pant while not looking and feeling as dorky as a traditional ripstop hiking pant.

The RaceFace Flank knee and shin pad provides substantial protection with D30 padding for the knee and basic EVA foam for the side and shin.

However, it remains a top choice for enduro racing due to its exceptional protection and adjustable fit. Highly recommended.
