Best Wrestling Knee Pads of 2025

"I went to several local stores for knee pads and found no luck with comfort. These pads, though, are awesome! They stay in place, are not itchy, and the material is great! They've lasted one season so far, and I highly recommend them!"

"As a mechanic, I need knee protection while crawling and kneeling. These pads fit well under my pants, are hardly noticeable, and I experience no knee pain at the end of the day. Good value!"

"I’m an older hiker and wanted knee protection after some scary falls. These pads are comfortable, really well padded, and allow me to wear shorts longer into the season. I even bought a second pair as a backup!"

“I ordered a few for my daughter, who wrestles. After injuring her knee at her first tournament, these knee pads worked well. She found them comfortable and didn't complain about the material.”

“For my son, who is a high school wrestler at 6'3” and 180-190 lbs, I purchased these knee pads again this season. They are well-made compared to others, but I noticed they stretch out quite a bit. I ordered a size medium as a replacement, which is a bit tight now, but I'm hopeful they’ll be a better fit once they stretch.”

“My son has been using these for wrestling for two months now. He's always sliding around, but so far, they’ve held up really well. I was concerned they might lose their grip, but they continue to perform great.”

"I didn't realize this was just one pad. I wish I had read the reviews first because I would have chosen a different option if I had known. It's a bit pricey for only one."

"After using the pad, I found that the plastic backside irritated my skin, leaving it swollen and red. It was uncomfortable even with sweatpants on."

"My son really appreciates the quality and comfort of these pads. He feels they fit well and provide good protection."

"My son just started high school wrestling, and he loves these. The padding is good, and they stay in place."

"I purchased these Scrap Life knee pads for Brazilian jiu-jitsu. After wearing them for a class, I had no knee pain at all! They’re lightweight and provide excellent protection on the mat. I prefer these over the McDavid knee pads because they stay in place and I sometimes forget I'm wearing them!"

"When I began BJJ, I bought this knee pad. It definitely helps with no knee pain while taking shots or rolling, but I find it can be a bit uncomfortable during live sessions, and it does slide off sometimes."

"I bought these knee pads for wrestling season and they fit very nicely. After wearing them almost every day for three months, they still feel like new. The padding is thick and provides excellent protection for my knees."

"I was thrilled to find this product again. My son used his first set for three entire seasons and while they needed replacement by the end, they held their shape even after many washes. The design is great, and he’s ready for his senior wrestling year!"

"These knee pads are exactly what I remembered. They have a lot of padding, probably more than most would want. I’ve given away four pairs because they’re so nice. I use them for wrestling and other sports, and they hold up well—even after lots of abuse!"

"I injured my knee, and these pads really allow me to train without pain."

"I bought these for my BJJ practice. The padding is excellent, but I was disappointed when one pad's stitching came undone after just a few uses. I fixed it for $3.00 and now they work great!"

"My son has used these for high school wrestling and loves them. He said they perform well during matches."

"For my brother, who is about 138 lbs and 5' 5", the medium size was just right. He’s an avid wrestler and needed new knee pads after his old ones became illegal. He told me these new ones are much better than the old ones we got from a big sports store. They never stayed in place, and he had trouble with certain moves. Now, he can do whatever he wants!"

"I coach wrestling 4-5 times a week and these knee pads are a game changer. The fit is spot on, and the comfort deserves a full five stars. I previously used neoprene pads that pinched at the back of the knee, but these Adidas pads are cloth and don’t bunch up at all. It’s a huge difference in comfort. They also provide great stability support, and I can tell they’re built to last. I recommend these to any wrestler!"

"I was a bit surprised when I ordered these knee pads because I assumed I'd receive a pack of 2. It turns out it’s only one piece! Despite that, they're perfect for me as I’m 5'9 and wrestle at 138 lbs."

"I bought this for my son to help with his knee pain during wrestling, and we've ended up purchasing two more as backups. Very durable and works just as expected!"

"I've been wrestling for over 15 years and these knee pads are, without a doubt, the best! Great support when taking shots, and they stay securely on my knees during drills."

"My son, a 13-year-old wrestler, absolutely loves this knee pad and has been telling all his wrestling friends about it. Highly recommended!"

"As a Brazilian jiu-jitsu practitioner, I needed something to protect my knees during training. These knee pads fit perfectly and provide the support I need. I've tried other brands, but these are definitely the best. I highly recommend them!"

"I've only been practicing aikido for six months and was struggling with knee pain from falls. My boyfriend lent me his knee pad, and I felt an immediate difference. They are incredibly comfortable and don't restrict movement at all. Just a tip: make sure to buy a pair!"

"As a jiu-jitsu coach, I invested in these knee pads expecting great results. While they took a while to arrive and are a bit short, they provide excellent protection when they stay in place. Just remember, they come one per order, so you'll need to buy two for full protection."

“While these kneepads are a bit pricey, I find them to be high quality and comfortable for wrestling.”

“I've always loved Cliff Keen knee pads, but they only last about a season with my wrestlers. They’re tough on knee pads, so we rotate four throughout the season.”

“These provide much better protection and durability for my tendinitis knees compared to the ASICS ones, which wore out in just a month or two.”
