On a brisk fall day or a wet day in the early spring we throw on the GORE WEAR Shield Knee Warmers to add a bit of comfort and protection to our ride. These polyester warmers help us stay warm in the cool breeze, and promote knee health during and after the ride. There's nothing worse than getting back after a ride and experiencing knee discomfort and swelling, but with the shields we're staying protected from the elements and riding better for longer.
