Pro-Tec Street Knee and Elbow Pad Set

I bought these for my 11 year old. The knee pad straps would not make it around his legs, and hes a normal sized kid. The materials and workmanship are not what they used to be when I used to buy protec pads 25 years ago.

Very comfortable, fits well and would definitely protect you in a fall.

I bought these for my son when he started long boarding recently. I have 187 Killer pads but couldn’t get them in his size with Prime so I went with these as I know Pro-Tec makes good products (have several of their helmets). These are just as plush as the 187s and protection seems on-par as well. I knew I had to get something comfortable or else my son would not wear them and these fit the bill. They are well made (stitching is great), fit well, and most importantly provide great protection. Don’t cheap out when it comes to pads, paying a bit extra for a quality product is well worth it.

good for a young adult

Large as a little smaller than I would have expected, even with the measuring and using the guides. Wish I would have gone XL (38yr old 200lb grown up) But not worth the hassle of going thru an exchange. Large will work.

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.

Took a decently hard fall. The buckle that secures the strap ripped right off.

Knee pad strap ripped the third time I used it. Would not recommend.

the XLs fit great, Im 64

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