FAQs

Can these pads be machine washed?

We recommend hand washing only. The agitation of a washing machine can damage the protective plastic shells and degrade the elastic straps.

Are these pads suitable for children?

The set is designed with adjustability in mind, but please measure the user's joints to ensure a secure fit before use.

Do I wear these under or over my clothes?

They can be worn either way, but many skaters prefer them directly over the skin to prevent slipping.

Are the wrist guards rigid?

Yes, the wrist guards include a firm support piece specifically designed to protect the palm and wrist area during impact.

What is the material composition?

The set is crafted from high-durability polyester, selected for its balance of strength and flexibility.

How do I know which size to get?

The adjustable straps allow for a versatile fit across various limb sizes, making them a 'one-size' style solution for most recreational skaters.

Troubleshooting

Pads sliding down during use

Tighten the adjustment straps or consider wearing the pads under tighter-fitting clothing to add friction.

Straps losing elasticity over time

Check if the hook-and-loop fasteners are clogged with lint or debris and clean them; replace pads if straps lose all tension.

Discomfort behind the knee or elbow

Ensure the fabric backing is centered correctly and not bunched up during the initial fastening process.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Complete protection set in one package
  • Lightweight materials prevent fatigue
  • Easy to put on and remove
  • Suitable for various skating disciplines
  • Durable outer shells for high impact

Cons

  • Requires manual adjustment for different body shapes
  • Not intended for heavy-duty professional stunt skating
  • Polyester material may get warm in hot weather

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best fit, place the knee and elbow pads directly against your skin or over thin athletic wear. Tighten the straps until you feel a secure hold that does not restrict circulation.

Care Instructions

  • Cleaning: Hand wash the pads using mild soap and cold water to preserve the integrity of the elastic straps.
  • Drying: Air dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Do not place in a tumble dryer or use direct heat, as this can warp the plastic shells.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the polyester fabric from fading or becoming brittle.
