The media could not be loaded. These pads were budget priced compared to other name brands. They are of high enough quality to protect your wrists, elbows, and knees from injury during a hard fall. They are definitely not of the highest quality (the name brands are more expensive because they are more durable and longer lasting; some, like the Triple 8 knee pads have replaceable shells over the pads.) As a middle-aged, first-time skateboarder, these gave me confidence to keep practicing after my falls. Every time I fell while wearing them, I was unharmed and able to get right back on the board. The pads stay in place and are adjustable to keep them secure without being to tight. I was surprised to find that they didn’t inhibit my movements at all; I mostly forgot I was wearing them until I fell. And then I was very grateful to have avoided injury. If budget is a concern, buy these. If you have plenty of money to invest, go for the more durable Triple 8’s. But these have worked just fine for me. I am 100lbs and 5’ 1” and bought the adult size. They also fit my boyfriend who is 5’ 11” and about 150lbs. I’ll be buying him a set too. Good value for the price. Good fit for a range of body sizes. Stable and secure, no mobility restriction. Buy ‘em and get out there and do all the stuff that you are afraid of! Read more
I went to a skate park trying to use for the second time my skates. For the beginning I barely kept my equliibrium but soon, I started doing some maneuvres and even got some speed. All those came with a cost: falls - many of them. I guess, it only was necessary one or two falls to take me out of there. With these pads I honestly felt about nothing. Every time I "picked up" myself, stood up immediately and continued my fun. It might sound like a cliche but, I'm grateful for having this protection. I ran for hours and got vissible progess. Meantime, a lot of people came and I noticed few of them falling. After that, their journey stoped. One guy used a skate board for a few minutes and took a hit. It must been so painful that he barely stood up making efforts not to scream from time to time. He tried to calm himself down by walking slowly outside the skate arena but after 15-20 he definitely left. That was for him: about 5 minutes skating and more than 15 minutes pain. Of course, nobody was wearing anything else than a helmet. The conclusion is a simple one: unless someone has the joints stronger than concrete, h/she must wear not only the helmet but the knees pads. And these pads are very good: they are fitting very well, are very comfortable and they don't move or loose. They are not only invaluable for joints protection but they have a more than decent price (about $23; lowered from $60). One more thing: I do my review (s) based on my own conviction without any incentives or contact from the producer, seller or Amazon. I spend out my free time because I realize how much means a product review before buying something. Read more

I bought these for my teenager who does a lot of extreme sports, including skateboarding, bmx and scooter tricks. He kept coming home all banged up and although I realize that a scratch here and there isn't a big deal I was concerned that the way he was falling was going to lead to some broken bones. I bought this pack of protective gear and it was exactly what I was looking for, not only does it include the standard knee and elbow pads that you would expect but it came with a third component, the hand guards. That is what really set this pack apart for me, all of the gear is high quality, durable and comfortable but the hand guards help support his wrists and keep his palms from getting cut up. The best part is that with all the gear included in this pack on my teen, he is still able to move freely and do all of the activities he enjoys without any issues. Read more
Purchased this set for roller derby, and they'll get me by as a temporary set, but I need to upgrade them ASAP for actual derby practice/play. Here's why: Knee pads: Might be okay for occasional use, but too small to provide actual protection in a sport like derby where you spend a lot of time landing on your knees. (A friend actually thought I'd put my elbow pads on my legs, they are that small!) Additionally, the shape of the plastic cap is such that it stabs into my leg when my knees are straightened (which is uncomfortable, but oddly enough reminded me to stay in better derby stance, since I had to get lower to alleviate it...) Elbow pads: Seemed fine. Padding/seams are a little itchy/tight around the edge to be ideal, as far as comfort goes, but the fit was good. Wrist guards: Very comfortable/well-padded. I actually will be keeping these out of the set, because they work well. Color (yellow) - more of a highlighter yellow. I like it, and got a lot of compliments when I wore them out. Material - tougher (more of a canvas-like feel), thicker/stiffer (non-breathable). Stitching scratchy, but seemed sturdy. Velcro was functional, and straps were well-sized for an average person.
