PROTECTION | Pad Sets & Protection | Knee Pads

Skate knee protectors are knee pads that cushion your knees when you fall. This collection has skateboard knee pads from CORE, REKD, S1 Helmets, Harsh, FR Skates and Triple Eight, along with replacement caps and tags.

What's in the range

REKD's knee pads are listed for skateboard, skate, scooter, BMX and ramp use, in colours including Black, Black / Red, Black / Blue, Black / Pink and Black / Khaki, with Energy, Pro and Patrol versions. CORE has the Street Pro Knee Pads with Velcro tags, plus Pro Park replacement knee caps and Velcro knee pad tags in colours such as Hot Pink, Neon Green and White. S1 Helmets has the Pro Gen 4 Knee Pads, Park Knee Pads and a Park Pad Set with knee and elbow protection. Harsh has Pro Park Knee Pads and knee and elbow combos in Pro Park and Attitude. Sizes run from XXS to 3XL depending on the product, and some pads are one size.

How to choose

Start with where you skate. If you ride both skateboard and scooter, the REKD pads are listed for both.

Fit matters more than looks. Sizing differs between brands, so check the size options on the product page before ordering. Pads that slide around don't protect much.

If you want to refresh pads rather than replace them, CORE and REKD sell replacement caps, and CORE sells spare Velcro tags. Swapping colours is an easy way to change the look.

Knees are only one part of your kit. Add elbow pads, wrist guards and a helmet to cover the rest.
