Special knee protection? Try the 4067

Attach them to your knees and fill them with pads like the 4027 or 4057. No need for protection anymore? Simply detach them with the Velcro. They are breathable, reinforced, and adjustable for comfort and durability.

Frequently asked questions about Blåkläder shorts
What’s the difference between 2-way and 4-way stretch?

Yes, with varying fabric weights and ventilation options, there are models for every season: lightweight (166 g/m²) for summer and sturdier (340 g/m²) for cooler periods.
How do I choose the right size?
Blåkläder uses European sizing. Measure your waist and inside leg and consult the size guide. If you’re in between sizes, it’s best to choose the larger size for added comfort.
