Pro-Tec Street Knee and Elbow Pad Set

Pro-tec makes good pads. The quality is obvious. As a middle-aged longboarder, I feel very secure with these pads. Pretty sure theyve already saved me from having my funny bone hit the edge of a walk. I got this set because I needed large for both my elbows and knees, and this was a better value than ordering separately. The only thing thats missing are wristguards, but I already have some. Ill probably get some slide gloves eventually instead.

The ones I ordered were way too big which I suppose is my own fault sounds let the buyer beware.

Well-priced, high-quality product was delivered on time in perfect condition.

Just what my son needed for his new longboard. Though it isnt cool to wear them.

These are an excellent set of affordable, low impact pads that are great for those just getting in to roller sports, starting out with using pads, or wanting protection from ground level falls. However, if youre wanting protection from high impact situations such as knees slides or long falls to the elbows, then youll likely want to look for something with better protection. After roughly 4 months of hardcore use (7 hours a week minimum) skateboarding on ramps (between 4 and 12 ft tall), the knee pads have definitely stared to show signs of wear, with one pad having a snapped strap buckle (which is fixable with a little super glue but has broken more than once) and a cracked cap, and the other having rips exposing the liner. The liner is also compressed heavily towards the middle on both, and doesnt provide as good of protection as it did when it was new, but still works. I should point out that this is the result of heavy impacts at high speeds (knee sliding on a 10 ft vertical ramp, for example) so they will likely hold up pretty well if you plan on using them for less intense riding. The elbow pads have held up great, but admittedly havent taken nearly as much abuse as the knee pads. Theyve definitely help prevent some nasty swell-bow regardless. Both pads fit quite comfortably, but, like most pads, can ride down when sliding, so a set of gaskets or wearing tight clothing under neath them isnt a bad idea. Overall, I would easily recommend these to anyone look for a great set of light, comfortable pads to get started with. But, be prepared to replace these somewhere down the road, either with another set or something more heavy duty, such as 187 Killer Pad Pros.

58 about 185lbs and 41 years old..... these pads are pretty good for the money, Ive only used them once for about an hour and needed to adjust them once because they felt a little tight. I think these are going to work out well!

Ive only been using the pads for 2 months and one of the straps is about to come off. Worked great for the one minor impact theyve had, but I have to replace them because of the poor construction of the fabric components.

Im a 52, ~240 lbs female with thicker calves and thighs. Ordered these because I want to start rollerblading again and help get to a healthier weight. They fit fairly snug (but not too tight) and give me a boost in confidence knowing that Im going to be ok if I fall down. Yes, they are a little more on the pricey side, but it was a great investment!

Comfortable and fits well

So small I couldnt attach the straps with the Velcro. Returned within the hour. (Side note- construction type hard shell pads from Menards were perfect for both knee and elbows @ $6.99 each pair.
