I've got a pile of different kneepads from various manufacturers and these are my favorites by far, likely seeing 5:1 use vs the rest combined. I do tend to wear burlier pads in the bike park but that's more to "save" these and get some use out of my other pads that still work fine, and sometimes to move around the area of my leg that's got silicone grippers as the skin can get sensitive after long days of intense grip. I wash them regularly and have not noticed any silicone degradation or any signs of wear, and I've owned them for about a year and a half.
Standard caveats re: fit notwithstanding, I'd recommend them to anyone.
