Review on 🦵 Triple Eight Kneesaver Knee Pads - Black, One Size (1-Pair) for Enhanced SEO by Tim Beckett

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Reviewed by an honest downhill enthusiast

I've caught several pairs of these. Let someone with decades of skating experience help you figure this out. Sometimes I drive over 30.40 km/h. I have several high quality DH hard shell knee pads and hidden underwear pads. Each has its own purpose. However, as a skater progresses, their need for hard, highly protective pads (and non-aerodynamic bulk) is often replaced with soft pads, often, perhaps silly, with just gliding gloves and a full-face helmet. However, some runs still require hard knee protection. These pads are unobtrusive and lightweight and don't make me sweat during 6-7 hour sessions. When folded, they are thin enough not to distort my stance like my TSGs do. However, I jumped off my race deck on my knees at 35 mph and sustained no injuries other than bruises. They're cheap enough to replace, but I have a set for the season. If you're good enough to skate fast without hard knee pads, but occasionally get really rough on tarmac like a cheese grater and need some light hard protection, these will make you very, very happy. they're damn good too. Perfect for your child when they are just starting to skate and you don't want to put money in the bank in case they change hobbies in 3 weeks. the gap between toy pads and real, expensive protective pads. slough off sweaty bare skin and don't mention that point.)
