Our top-shelf knee pads are built to take a beating so you can focus on landing that next trick.
The Must-Have Features for Shredding
Choosing the right knee pads is more than just grabbing the first pair you see. To ensure you're protected and comfortable on your board, consider these must-have features. Look for pads with tough, durable outer shells that can withstand slams and slides.
Make sure the padding is thick and impact-resistant, especially if you're into big drops and ramps. And don't forget about breathability! Vents and moisture-wicking fabrics help keep you cool and dry, even during those marathon skate sessions.
What materials are used in the knee pads?
Most skate knee pads feature a hard plastic cap for impact protection, often combined with layers of foam padding for shock absorption. The inner lining is typically made from a soft, moisture-wicking fabric to keep you comfortable. Some knee pads also use materials like Kevlar or Cordura for added abrasion resistance.
Are there specific knee pads for different skating styles?
Absolutely! If you're into vert skating or hitting big ramps, you'll want knee pads with thicker padding and a larger knee gasket for maximum protection. Street skaters might prefer slim knee pads or even fly knee pads for greater mobility. We also have a range of street knee pads specifically designed for the demands of street skating.
And if you're cruising on scooters, longboards, roller skates, or inline skates, you'll find specific knee pads designed for those activities, too. Even roller derby has its own specialised Pro Derby knee pads!
How do I choose the right size for skate knee pads?
Getting the right fit is crucial for comfort and protection. Most knee pads come in standard sizes like XXS, XS, S, M, L, XL, and even XXL. Measure the circumference of your leg just above your knee and compare it to the size chart for the specific knee pad you're interested in. If you're between sizes, it's usually better to go up a size for a more comfortable fit. Remember, knee pads should be snug but not too tight, allowing for a full range of motion.
How to Strap in for Maximum Protection
Getting the perfect fit is key to maximising the protection your knee pads offer. Make sure the pads are centred over your kneecaps and the straps are snug but not too tight. Avoid any bunching or twisting, as this can affect comfort and performance. If you need a refresh, we also offer recaps for your knee pads so you can keep them feeling like new.
Remember, knee pads are just one part of a complete safety setup. Don't forget to check out our range of helmets, elbow pads, wrist guards, and shin guards for head-to-toe protection. We even offer convenient pad sets that bundle all your protective gear together, making it easy to gear up and shred with confidence.
