Any tips on how to keep my pads in the place while riding?
I have this fuse combo pads but every time i have to put it back in the place, and it’s not that easy to do that.
I tried to put a lycra pants and changed nothing. I’m thinking about selling and getting another brand pads.
I had in the past an old fox launch pro and never had any trouble with it

Pads can be tricky and very personal. Depends what you wear over them (tight/loose chinos/jeans/etc.) how muscular your legs are. I always find they don’t stay up unless they really hug the top of the calf. No amount of thigh strap will ever keep a knee/shin pad up for me. A knee/shin/ankle combo is always going to pull down unless there’s built in stretch across the knee cap so you may have trouble with these, but again, focus on getting it snug just below the knee is best.
I choose to wear a very lightweight TLD knee pad which protects the top of the shin too, and ankle braces. The light, stretchy, tight mesh means they hug my calf well and almost never move. Pricey but man are they ever comfy even in the heat.
If they have silicone strips they’re meant to be worn against your skin. If they still fall down then either they suck or they’re too big for you. My wife has similar pads from g-form that don’t fall down but the silicone gripper is so aggressive that if she wears them for more than a few hours at a time they give her a rash.
