kneepads

[robtom123]

i have been recently hitting my knees alot so am considering buying some kneepads i couldnt find a thread for this so i made a new one

what brands are the most comfortable and long lasting i would expect some just break when they get hit and arnt comfy and some are good can you name some good ones that arnt stupid money

I have ones that fit under my jeans http://www.skates.co.uk/protection/anarchy-bulletproof-knee-pads.html theyre great like you can hardly tell you're wearing them

 

[robtom123]

are they like as protective as the bulkier ones i see other people where like these

EDIT: i am about 5ft 4 would the medium/adult size be too big for me do you think or would that fit ok i dont want them to be too big

Get some slim hard cap ones.

Get some slim hard cap ones.

can you link me too a decent pair? that would be around my size im 5ft 4 and 15

 

[Dewey]

do it there not that bad cuz i had to wear them at woodward, u eventually just start to fall on your knees more often because u can just slide on your pads

The confidence you'll have knowing you can slide out and not be down for a session is outstanding, easily out weighs anybody being a nitpicky cunt about wearing pads.

Check'em

Triple8 / Protec are my favorite companies.

I was thinking of the street pads http://www.skatehut.co.uk/protection/pads/pro-tec_street_knee_pads.htm

G-form. Google it.

I own a pair and they can't do any wrong. I took a 5ft drop to flat straight to my knees. And was like 'wtf' these are amazing. Try it.

Team Blowin it pads are the fucking best. They are pretty damn expensive though. But hands down most comfortable, protective, and slim ones there are.

 

[RiccardoM]

But won't they rip on street?

Ashley, are these them? http://compare.ebay.co.uk/like/190668323502?var=lv&ltyp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar&adtype=pla

Also, when you bend your leg do they go super tight? Cos I got some double down protec pads and they are really uncomfortable, like when I bend my knees it's really hard to.

 

[Dom Marconi]

When do you fall on your knees riding street? Haha

 

[RiccardoM]

Me? Loads. Right now my knees look like the grand canyon. They're kinda my go to spot.

 

[AshleyPowell]

Yes that's them.
And I wear them under my jeans so there protected and people can't notice them. And nope they aren't tight at all.i promise you won't regret buying them.
I completly forgot I have them on.
Check them out on YouTube aswell mate.
And they also come in black.

 

[RiccardoM]

I might have to get some. I guess I'll have them instead of a penny.

 

[robtom123]

the ones that arnt too much money but still seem good are these

based on what rob said @rob would you recomend getting these?

Well, you better change that lol. Use your hands, or roll, or your ass or something, your knees are NOT something you should be falling on constantly. I honestly never hit my knees, except like 2 days ago I did a frontflip and hit my knee on my downtube.

Might nab some G Form ones, they look so sick
