I have been riding for knee pads. As much as I hate rollerblading, and hearing my friends ridicule me.....they honestly have been the best knee pads ever. I would like to wear the full on "skate" pads, but they are just too bulky to fit under the pants. The blade pads are made to be quite mobile, HIGHLY protective, and still fit under my pants. I ride off of the 56 freeway down here in SD a lot... it's VERY rocky in places and I have hit some GNARLY rocks directly and haven't injured my knees.... well except for twisting, straining, etc
In my opinion they are much better pads than any product made by the motorcycle companies. ty a pair on.....
