Best Skate & Skateboarding Knee Pads of 2025

"I got this for my son to use with his skateboard and scooter. It's a very durable set that fits him perfectly at 5 1/2 years old and almost 4 ft tall. Everything went on easily, and he found it comfortable. This gear has saved him from some rough falls, and we absolutely love it!"

"I purchased this for my daughter, but I also find myself using it. The size is great, fitting adults too. It provides solid protection from falls while riding a bike or rollerblading. I particularly love the color; it's a real pink just like in the pictures. It's very easy to use!"

"As an electric longboard rider, I bought this set for safety. I recently paired it with a Meepo V5 electric longboard that reaches high speeds of 29 mph. The gear is comfortable and makes me feel safer on my powerful board. Unfortunately, I had a mishap when I hit the brake too hard, but the gear truly saved me from worse injuries. The wrist guard held up well despite the impact, and I would definitely recommend it to fellow electric longboarders. Just remember to wear the knee pads!"

"I found these pads very comfortable and they worked perfectly for my needs."

"I bought them for my kids, and they are great quality! They didn't feel pain when falling."

"The knee pads seemed bulky at first, but they are actually really comfortable when skating."

"I returned the Triple Eight Saver Pad Set because the knee pads kept sliding up and down while I was trying them on. After reading some reviews, I decided to try the 187 Killer Pads Six Pack Pad Set, which is almost double the price. However, the quality is worth it. These pads stay in place snugly, providing extra stability. Even though the elbow pads have a smaller shield than the Triple Eight set, it feels well-designed to absorb falls. The knee pads have a larger surface area and seem tough enough for scrapes. Overall, I'm really happy I made this switch!"

"As someone in my mid-30s learning to inline skate, I've had these pads for three weeks now. They saved me from serious injuries; I stood up from a hard fall without any harm. I did have a bruised hip later, but I was able to skate to my car after another fall that could have broken my wrist. I always wear a helmet too for extra safety. These pads are super comfortable and easy to put on and take off. With the right size, they don’t shift during an impact!"

"At 62 years old and starting to surfskate, I wanted reliable protection. I initially bought a different brand but found it uncomfortable. This brand fits just right. I took a fall wearing the elbow and wrist guards and felt no pain when I hit the ground. I would highly recommend these pads for anyone looking for comfort and safety!"

"As an inline skater, I can reach my top speed and take tumbles without feeling a thing. I'm also using a Triple Eight helmet and protective gear, and everything works incredibly well. The size fits accurately according to the measurement chart, and the Velcro is holding up nicely."

"I initially ordered size Medium based on my 38cm measurement. The design is clever, allowing me to wear them without putting on my skates first. They are very comfortable and well-made, but I did find that the Velcro on the inside of the knee can rub against each other a bit."

"After trying several knee pad brands and finding them lacking, I finally settled on these Triple 8 street pads. The fit is excellent, and I appreciate the adjustable inner sleeve and outer straps. They provide a large area of protection, and while the Protec Street Pads felt slightly nicer, their fit was terrible. I'm happy with these and the price is great!"

"I found these pads to be very sturdy and comfortable for both biking and skiing. I highly recommend them!"

"After not skating for decades, I used these pads and they provided great protection and confidence."

"As a grown woman, I bought these for biking and they fit me perfectly for my needs."

"I was blown away by the quality and build of these considering the price. It's definitely the best quality for the lowest price."

"These pads fit perfectly for my grandson, who enjoys outdoor sports and daredevil events. He thinks they are just what he needed!"

"The protective pads are of excellent quality at a great price, and I received them very quickly. I rate this product and service five stars!"

"As a beginner skater, I was thrilled with the SKATEWIZ pads. They exceeded my expectations in comfort and stability. Once on, they stay put and feel secure. The colors are great, too!"

"After my crash on the skateboard, I realized the importance of protective gear. The SKATEWIZ pads gave me a sense of security and confidence. They fit perfectly and allow for full movement while keeping my joints safe. Plus, I love that they are a climate-neutral company!"

"I've been using these pads for aggressive inline skating with my kids, and I was pleasantly surprised by their grade A quality. They fit well and provide excellent protection, especially around the knees. The hand guards are the standout feature for me; they've saved my wrists on multiple spills!"

"As someone who's skated for a long time, I knew exactly what I wanted. These pads check all the boxes: they last, fit comfortably, and look good. I love that they can be easily slid on or strapped on, which is a huge plus!"

"I was pleasantly surprised by the fit and quality of these pads, especially since I don't usually like this brand. They feel comfortable and stay in place. However, I'd recommend getting separate wrist guards since those feel a bit cheap."

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

"I have thick thighs and big knees, so finding kneepads that actually fit has been a challenge. After trying several brands, I discovered these and couldn't be happier! They provide great protection and don't slide around while I'm roller skating. I feel safe and secure wearing them!"

"I've been using these pads for a few weeks at the rink and a skate park, and I'm really impressed! They held up well during hard falls, and despite some bruising, my knees remained protected. The only minor issue is that they require a little adjustment after a lot of sweating, but overall, they're fantastic!"

"I bought these for my son, and he absolutely loves them. They fit him perfectly and are top quality. The pads provide excellent protection, and he can even wear them over his clothes. The seller was also great, making sure we were satisfied with our purchase!"

“I got this set for my daughter’s birthday, and they fit perfectly. She loves them and uses them every day.”

“I found this set to be a great deal at this price. Although I haven’t ridden with them yet, they fit me perfectly at 5'7" and 190lbs.”

“As an adult woman, I found these pads to be strong and easy to use.”
