Triple Eight Street Knee Pads for Skateboarding and Roller Derby with Adjustable Straps (1 Pair)

Good

I’ve purchased a lot of pads for myself and my children. These are great quality and design. Easy to take on and off.

Very comfortable! I use it for inline, skateboarding, and scootering. Protects my kness very well.

Cheap alternative to 187s

I'm an awesome, GenX female, age 51, who clearly has the most abnormally disproportionate body on the planet! I'm 5'8", weigh 200lbs, and based upon size charts, I need a knee pad that is size L/XL on top and size M/L on the bottom. Even with all the velcro and elastic, it has been a struggle to find knee pads that stay up without cutting off my circulation. I would also like to easily put them on over my pants, need them to legitimately protect my knees, AND preferably don't cost more than my skates. After trying many brands and price points, I have finally found my Goldilocks knee pads! I can't believe it. These are sooo comfortable. Really. I know they don't look like they would be but they are. I forget I am wearing them. And this is the first pair that doesn't make me feel like a giant robot. I have tried Scabs Derby (L), 187 Killer pad set (XL), Triple 8 ExoSkin (L), Triple 8 Covert (L), some oldschool K2's (M), and few randos (L-XXL). I finally bought some garden knee pads while I continued my search and have been trepidatiously using those. Now, with these, I feel so much more confident. Whew!

Absolutely a fully functional set of pads with great front of knee protection and slide, decent side of knee protection too. I really don’t care for the unnecessary double-back strap on the top. These secure and cinch-able straps are important on the bottom but redundant on the top. Additionally, the double-back straps attach on the inside, between the legs (yes, I’ve triple checked right vs left) instead of outside the legs. This means that if a strap comes loose or just has some extra at the end that doesn’t Velcro down then it’s catching as you skate.Huge fan of the brand— have their helmet, other knee pads, and wrist guards so while the quality is there on these pads, the design is iffy compared to others.

I in-line skate and I can reach my top speed, take a tumble and feel absolutely nothing with these on. (I am also in triple eight helmet, braces and elbow pads) but it’s all incredibly effective. The fit and size is accurate to the measurement chart. The Velcro is still holding up.

True to the size, I ordered Medium with my measurement being 38cm. It has a very clever design that you don't have to wear them first before you put on ur skates etc. very comfortable and well made, the only drawback I can think of is the velcro being on the inside of the knee, which means they can accidentally rub into each other and stick.
