Best Skate & Skateboarding Elbow Pads of 2025

"I found these pads to be nice covers that allow for freedom of movement. They're breathable and provide medium protection. I initially ordered a medium size, but it was too large, so I exchanged it for a small which fits perfectly. Size down if you’re between measurements!"

"As an adult skateboarder, I bought these pads after an elbow injury. They effectively reduce the pain from falls. I was relieved when I fell and didn't feel the usual sharp pain in my elbow, although they might not fully absorb impact from direct hits. Overall, they help a lot with rolling impacts."

"I got these for my skateboard to prevent road rash and provide some padding. They felt a bit restricting at first, but they break in nicely over time. They look great as sleeves too, and I appreciate that they offer some protection without being bulky."

"I wanted knee pads that are comfortable and protective. These do both perfectly, and they look great too. The combination of nylon and padding with the adjustable straps makes them easy to wear without annoyance."

"I appreciate the contoured design near the elbow for better skid protection. They might be a bit bulkier than my previous pads, but it's a good compromise since I barely notice them while skating."

"After falling off my scooter and hurting my elbow, I knew I needed better protection. I ordered these elbow pads immediately, and they have been fantastic. They fit well, offer excellent protection, and have held up for over 2.5 years!"

"I purchased these to protect my elbow after breaking it while biking this Spring."

"I appreciate the shape and sleeve of these, but I'm returning them as they are a bit too big for me."

"I'm thrilled with these elbow pads; they're comfortable, slimline, and offer great protection. I also love the pro knee pads and wrist guards I bought!"

"I was looking for pads that would last, fit comfortably, and look good. These checked all the boxes. I love that they can be slid on or just strapped on."

"I was pleasantly surprised by how well these pads fit. They are comfortable and don’t slip around. The wrist guards could be better, but overall, these pads are a great value for anyone on a budget."

"I had an issue with a defective knee pad, but the customer service was impressive. They responded quickly and sent me a replacement within days. The rest of the gear works fantastically, and I've even recommended it to friends."

"I weigh 340lbs and these fit well. Great for sports like skating. Highly recommend!"

"I returned these only to get a different color locally. These are THE ONLY knee pads that fit fat folx. I struggled with other brands, but these have a stretchy sleeve and secure elastic straps. They fit over my big calves. The Velcro can be a bit scratchy, and while the wrist guards are a bit big, they stay on. Overall, the best fit I've found!"

"I fell super hard and barely felt it. These knee pads provide amazing protection! They are totally worth every penny. They are easy to put on and feel great, making me feel safe while skating!"

"I found these knee pads to be a great fit for my thighs, which has been a challenge with other brands. As a 5'4” individual at 125 lbs, the adult large was just right. I love the option to use both the sleeve and Velcro straps for extra security. Plus, they feel so comfortable when kneeling down. I've been very impressed with the quality, even if they are a bit pricier than some other options."

"Since picking these up for rollerblading after many years, I must say I appreciate the non-bulky design. The knee pads have a rectangular shape that looks much better than the old circular styles. They fit perfectly and allow for great movement while providing solid protection. I can definitely see the value in these compared to the cheaper pads I used as a kid."

"I initially bought these pads because I wanted something affordable as I learned to skate. They fit well and have saved me from scrapes during my falls. The construction quality is evident when comparing them to a cuter, less sturdy set I tried. I had to return those because they didn't stay put, but this set has been fantastic. I’m considering getting the blue version too!"

“I really appreciate the slimness of these pads. I just need something to protect my bones from the concrete, and these do the job perfectly. The single velcro closure is convenient, and they stay in place well according to the size chart.”

“As a senior walker, I recently took a fall on broken sidewalks, so I decided to buy these pads. I’m quite happy with my choice; they’re easy to put on and take off, stay secure, and provide good protection. I can even wear them under a coat.”

“These pads have been a lifesaver! I had a fall, and I feel incredibly lucky to have been wearing them. The doctor mentioned I could have really hurt myself, so I give these a 10/10 rating. They’re definitely worth every penny!”

"I found them a little tight in the sleeve, but that's typical for me. They stay in place well and are pretty comfy! Excited to use them in derby!"

"I've been using these for two years, and they work great! I've only fallen twice with no cuts or sores. The falls happened when I started inline skating."

"I was surprised at how large they were when I received them. A picture of someone wearing them would be helpful. However, the quality is nice and seems to provide good protection (though I haven't tested it yet)."

“I ordered a large because I measured 11.5" on my arm, but they were too tight and cutting off circulation to my hands. I sent them back and ordered the next size up. Overall, they seem to be well made with plenty of padding.”

“I was initially nervous about purchasing these online because the price seemed too cheap for such a quality product, but I was pleasantly surprised. I took them to a vert ramp and can confirm they are definitely not cheap knockoffs.”

“These pads are so thick, which I really need since I have nerve damage in both arms and my elbows are fragile. They're definitely much thicker than the competition, but I find them a bit embarrassing at times. However, I learned the hard way that I should always wear them!”

"I purchased a protective gear set for my child, and it has been a fantastic addition to their outdoor activities. The knee and elbow pads fit perfectly, with adjustable straps for a snug fit. The padding is soft and comfortable, allowing my child to wear them for long periods without discomfort. Overall, this gear set is a great investment for any parent looking to keep their child safe."

"I got these pads for my four-year-old who just started riding her bike with training wheels. She loved the fit and the color. The knee pads fit perfectly, and while the elbow pads were slightly large, we compensated with a long-sleeved shirt. The plastic is very protective, and I did a personal durability test, which left me satisfied. For the price, I highly recommend this set for parents on a budget."

"These pads are easy for my 9-year-old to put on. However, I have to deduct a star because the bag is poorly designed; it’s small and rips easily. Despite that, the pads themselves are great, and my child has been able to wear them comfortably."
