Smith Safety Gear Leopard Knee Pads

I have been looking for a sturdy pair of knee pads for roller derby that would be better for cross overs and not stick out as much as my 187 killer pads. I thought that these were ok for that purpose however they would slide down whenever I fell hard. To add to this aggravation they got a giant hole in the neoprene in the back of the knee on the outside. Straight up and down. I spent a fare amount of money (way more than my 187s) to have pads that have lasted barely two months. Whereas my 187s look like crap, but still protect my knees and are going on over a year and a half.Back to the 187s.

i saw these on Steve Alba and i figured if they work for him ,they got to work for me ,and they do ,if you do extreme sports you will fall but will save you the pain ,super thick ,great

Great secure, comfortable and stylish fit. However this line runs big. I purchased medium and will return for small. I'm small-boned at 5'3", 136 lbs.

Feeling way more confident skating around my neighborhood with these babies protecting me.

I've taken some great falls in these falls and have come out totally in tact! No injuries. I love these pads. Marked L & R for dum dums like me. Fit is great and true to size.

The good - these actually stay in place and protect the top of my knee.The bad - the bottom edge really digs into my leg, I bruise through the pads fairly regularly, and the cap cracked at a rivet after MAYBE a month.Like all derby pads I have tried, meh.

The caps do not detach and are not able to be replaced.

They run VERY big!
