20 Best Skateboard Pads For Adults (2023 Updated)

THIS JBM BIKE PROTECTION SET IS MORE THAN A BARGAIN. IT’S A TRUE NECESSITY FOR BIKE RIDING PROTESTION. FITS TIGHTLY ONTO YOUR ELBOWS AND UPPER ARMS, ONTO YOUR KNEES AND LEGS. AND THE WRIST PROTECTION, IS AN ADDED BONUS TO THIS SET IN MY OPINION.

ALL OF IT LOOKS GOOD AND FIT COMFORTABLY.

The stretchable wrap around the knee and elbow joints holds the pads in place, and the velcro keeps it locked in place. The bulb piece gives it some breathing and extra space w/o making it appear strange or flimsy.

The hand pad is a little too well guarded, even from holding a bike handle bar, BUT if you’re using it for a other activities such as skate boarding, or stuff where you don’t need to grip onto anything, then the wrist guards are perfect for you.

I tried them on and hit the wall (with my palm) and the harden palm plastic part prevented my skin from even reaching the surface of the wall, it’s over protective (in a good way, for skate boarding).

If you want to ride a bike with these pads, you might want to invest a little extra on separate wrist/palm pads if you don’t want to fall and scratch the skin of your palms.

These are really nice pads. Exactly what I was looking for. Fit is perfect. Quality is excellent. Very very happy!

I order the above item but when I received it the black plastic part of the pads is actually white. Which isn’t a major deal to some, however I specifically ordered this brand of protective gear as they were black and purple and would match with the skates that we have purchased our daughter for Christmas.

I also purchased the black ones instead of the white as they would show up scratches less. A little bit disappointed that what was displayed isn’t the product that was sent.

These pads are great for the buck. I bought them as i wanted to get back into skating Mini Ramp and Bowl. I am 40 now and did get into skating again after 15 years away from the board. I am skating mostly street.

I was never much into ramps so i feel i should protect myself. After all, a slam is 5 times as rough when you are getting older. I compared all in the lower price region and have to say that these where the only ones that came close to the top line of protectors for more than double the price.

Specially the combo pack is really cheap. Of course there are always some protectors out there for 30-50 Euros coming with wrist guards already, but they are all not comparable quality wise. I checked them all and was not satisfied / not even close.

Don\’t save on your safety. They will cap high impact. You can slide out of bails easily and the caps will hold you a couple years fun. I wanted to go for the pro ones at first but it was simply a budget decision.

Together with helmet and all i wanted to be protected well but wanted to keep my bankroll in eye. They are comfortable to wear. They are slip in and no butterfly but i can get into them even when leaving my shoe on.

I wear them most of the times above my pants. Great fit. Who should buy them : Skater who want high protection, but have to / want to check their bank roll. You have one life, one health only. Pros – Great Protection, good padding – Comfortable – Cheap for pro quality Cons – Non exchangeable Knee Caps – Slip in – no butterfly Summary : I am happy for now, if i see that i will skate a lot more Minis and bowl i will consider to buy the pro pads in a year, but for now they are great.

I will not start to slide out all my bails but run out or roll out still. stay on the save side :).

I order my product more than 10 days ago. And it’s still in the airport. It’s on its way Most recent update Flight departed Date & time Thu 2 Dec, 7. 21pm 1 I can’t understand why I receive another purchase that I did the same day with another company from Australia and not this one.

The left and right elbow pads are the same size but not the same quality. One pad’s elasticity is looser than the other. I also wish that the elastic straps were tighter/stronger on elbow and knee pads.

Besides that these pads would be great. I love the look. I took a fall and they protected very well. I’m just bummed about one elbow pad feeling loose as it’s brand new and will only loosen with time.

The price is great but with the shipping cost I could have went with another brand and would have had the same final price. Overall I do like these pads. Being able to strap these over my clothes or slip them on through their sleeve are great options which I haven’t seen at this price point.

I debated giving this 3 or 4 stars. It could have been an easy 5 stars if the quality control was better. The disappointment of it being near perfect hurt my ratings for the product.

These are great but I subtracted a star because they are way too big for my 4 year old boy. I bought them for his birthday and they are listed as fitting for a child aged 3-8. My son is in the 75th percentile for height, so he is not small for his age, and the pads are too big.

It is difficult for him to wear the elbow pads and wrist guards at the same time because they overlap on him. So that was disappointing but other than that they are a good product. I would say wait until your kid is at least 5 before purchasing.

these are a perfect fit for me, usually I have to wear smaller sizes but these adjust really well. I’m really impressed by the quality of the material and the color is exactly as pictured. I would recommend these to anyone that’s seeking something affordable for beginners.

very impressive product so far.

Great pair of knee guards. New to skating but fortunately haven’t fallen on them yet so haven’t tested the durability. They’re very comfortable on my larger thighs. I wear an XL, and have so far always worn denim jeans underneath.

I haven’t experienced any friction/pain from wearing them, even for a couple of hours. I think they look smart and not overly bulky.

These are great. I use them for broomball (ice sport where you run on ice so very regularly falling over) and they’re so much better than the cheapo knee/elbow pads I’d been using previously. Actually protect knees and elbows from impacts so I’m not getting bruises and the dual sets of straps make them comfier and will make them last longer as they aren’t getting stretched everytime you put them on or take them off.

I had been working on my knees all summer and they had gotten very sensitive to the abuse and really hurt to kneel on. My son had a pair of this same brand and they were really pain-free when I used them, so I ordered a pair for myself.

Mine came quickly and were just as good. Now several months later, my knees are back pretty close to normal with the use of these quality pads.

These knee pads are incredibly comfortable and have provided the best protection from any knee pads I’ve had. The butterfly strap design is great. Can take some breaking in right at the beginning. All in all amazing quality product.

I\’ve had my 187 Killer Pads Pro knee pads for about two years now, and I love them. They really take the edge off the roughest falls, and after a while they feel very comfortable. Although I have to admit that in the beginning they felt a bit clunky, as they contain quite a lot of impact-reducing material.

However, once I got used to them, I really started appreciating them, and wearing them while skating concrete bowls has saved me from injuries several times already. They are much thicker/larger than, for example, the Pro-Tec ones, but for a grown-up like myself, that extra impact-reducing material really makes the difference.

Well made. Looks good. Comfortable. Pro level performance. Most padding on side of knee. Best part is you can put them in and remove them with taking off your shoes since they strap on rather than slide on.

Big plus. My friend has the protec knee pads and vans sk8 hi top shoes. I was out skating long before he had his pads on, lol! The stick out a lot, you won’t notice after 10 min tho. Really good pads.

$$$ but still cheaper than a trip to the ER!.

Perfect for my 5 year old who has just taken up scooting and trying to do ‘tricks’! Snug fit, good quality velcro to prevent loosening, and he doesn’t complain about wearing the pads as much as he did with the other cheap pair we had.

Followed the instruction to measure my leg, above and under the knee, and picked the right size according to the measurement, but I ended up having a pair that runs extremely wide and huge and couldn’t even stay on my knee.

Other than that, I don’t like its design at all. The sticky tapes are hard to put together as they are under the belts and hard to be found when it’s behind the knee and I couldn’t see it. It takes a lot of time to just put them on.

When I first put on these knee pads I was worried they were too bulky for recreational roller skating (I was coming from very small and ill-fitting pads). However once I put them on with my skates I was surprised by how comfortable they are and that I can move freely in them.

They are well padded and give me great security, I know they’ve got my back (knees). Love ‘em!.

Bought the guards to feel safer whilst inline skating as fractured my elbow earlier in the year (in the house, not on blades) & am now a bit paranoid about falling while skating. These knee & elbow make me feel much safer & the first time I fell with them on it was like falling on cushions & so I have more confidence skating now.

The guards appear well made & sturdy with full protection of the joints as well as above & below areas.

This product not only protects me from my many tumbles, they are cute as well! I also would love to review the amazing service I received because there was initially a problem when I received my purchase (things happen).

From the moment I started the online chat until the problem was fixed, the service was great. They were quick to fix the problem to above satisfaction all while being extremely professional & friendly.

I can’t recommend skate pro enough!! This was my first time purchasing from them & it won’t be my last :).

I bought these pads to go with my new rollerskates and they match great. I hate how all of them are black, which is just blah, but these add some punch to your outfit. So, now I can fall in style! Trust me, it’s been a long time since I’ve rollerskated so these guys will get much use.

I was worried they would be too small but they adjust out nicely and fit great. Hopefully I never hit the ground hard enough to find out how durable they are, but they are great quality just the same.

We bought this set for our 8 year old granddaughter when she got her first Evo board from her uncle 6 months ago. She’s still skating with them! The pads and gloves fit her perfectly. She’s fairly tall but has a thin build, long legs and arms and small hands.

The pads and gloves thrilled her because of the cool glitzy purple fabric! For those curious: The set says it is a 3 pack, which could be misconstrued. It comes with 2 gloves, 2 wrist guards, and 2 knee pads.

Love the colours, easy to wear. The sizing could be better. The knee pads are tight, but if I had sized up the wrist gaurds would not have fit. Otherwise great protective gear

early x-mas gift – she loved them! matches her roller blades perfectly!

I love these! Though the sizing was funny. Looking at the chart, I should be XL for legs, M for arms and S for wrists. I got the L set, the legs are the perfect size, as are the wrist guards, despite how small my hands are??? And the elbow guards are too big but they stay on well enough, I’m gonna buy a little bit of extra Velcro so the ends don’t flap.

The protection I bought was in size s. The size was great for the knee and wrist, but the elbow pad straps were too long. You can fix this by sewing in some velcro. Otherwise the protection is a nice fit.

Great protective gear. They are lightweight with a breathable fabric. The wrist guards really protect your palms and wrists. Great design!

Look good, great quality and comfortable fit for my 8yo. Grandparents have previously bought my kids cheaper protective gear and they had to be returned as the sizing within one set was inconsistent.

I was searching for pads to use when I wanted to ride my electronic scooter to work and I then landed this gear set of pads. This is exactly what I want and the pads protect my knees, elbows, and wrists and palms.

I specifically like the wrist braces, which actually protect my palms and I feel much safe when riding my scooter. Strongly recommend this gear set!.

These protective pads and wrist braces are very well made and sturdy. I personally don’t use wrist braces, but trying these on I’m confident they’d be more than acceptable for someone who does. I use the knee pads more than the elbow pads, but both are extremely protective with a good solid shell outside and comfortable cushion inside.

They attach well and stay snug.

I wanted to love this set because it was such a good value, but the product sizing did not work for me. Based on previous reviews, I tried on an Adult Medium. I’m approx 5’3 110lbs with skinny arms and legs.

The thumb area of the wrist protector dug into my hand yet the Velcro was also too loose. The elbow pads fit a little loose. There wasn’t enough Velcro for me to tighten them up enough to stay on. What surprised me was how tight the knee pads were – they were really squeezing my thighs so much that I thought they were junior sized.

Overall I thought the set was very uncomfortable and will be returning it. I think the set could work for other people, but I would recommend trying them on at the store first because you will want to make sure all the protective gear fits correctly.

So I’m 5’8″ and weigh ~140 – 145. I’m not a large person, but I’m not particularly small. I feel I’m about an average build. So why don’t these knee or elbow pads cinch small enough to accommodate me? When I fall, I’m sure my knees are protected somewhat, but my knee pads regularly slip out of place on impact.

I’ve uploaded a picture of a bruise from a mild fall (going over a standard American speedbump on an electric unicycle, about 7 – 10 mph) I took three days ago. The knee pads definitely helped, just not enough, as they were loose enough to slip out of the way on the tightest possible setting.

That the velcro is only held together by about 1/2″ because the velcro isn’t long enough to accommodate even slightly smaller bodies is ridiculous. Please either sell a smaller option (this is the only full set of joint protection gear on Dick’s’ website) or make these able to fit smaller bodies.

This is ridiculous for safety equipment. Plus, the wrist guards are seriously weird. they don’t fit my smallish adult wrists.

I’m a 5’5 & 105lb woman – slim/lean build. I got the Medium pads and they fit perfectly (except elbow pads are a little big on me). I don’t see how M/L would fit an average guy. I put my height and weight down to give others a better idea of how these fit, I hope this helps! Since starting to inline skate again I have wiped out twice, and these pads saved me from a really bad fall.

I fell on my butt once and the wrist and elbow pads help soften the fall. The second fall was straight forward and I landed on my knees and hands. I would’ve had a nasty knee injury and bloody palms if I didn’t have these on.

I’m glad I got them!.
