This is really just a review on sizing- if youβre between sizes hopefully this helps. Iβm 5β6, 120lb and usually a 0 or 2 in clothing. Size guide based on measurements has me right on the cusp between an XS and a S/M for all three pads.In the pic the red/blue/white is a size XS and the blue and black (Electric Bolt) is size S/M.Short version is that neither set works for me. I can purchase separately but unfortunately neither knee pad worked. The padding is excellent and they appear to be well made- unfortunately just not right for this body.From everything I’ve read/watched on sizing these pads it’s recommended that they feel pretty snug. Once you warm up they’ll become more malleable and conform to your body. Also, with time they’ll stretch out a bit. So, keeping those suggestions in mind, that’s how I determined the correct fit for me.Wrist guards- The S/M fit and are definitely my size. The XS were way too small. I think I’m a size 7 in gloves which is a womans small or medium. My ring finger is a a size 5.5.Elbow pads- The XS fit great, very secure. The S/M were much too loose. I secured them as tightly as possible but that made the velcro straps stick out and snag my clothing.Knee pads- First, the difference in size between the XS and the S/M knee pads is… significant. And, unfortunately, neither knee pad worked for me. The S/M had the coverage I wanted but it was too roomy. Even cinched down below my knee as tightly as possible I had a long strap hanging down to my ankle and I still felt like my knee was swimming in them. The XS fit nice and snug but didn’t offer enough coverage- if they had been longer they would have been great. (I watched the 187 video on sizing knee pads and they recommend the knee pad sit one hand width above and one hand width below your knee cap. The S/M is the right length (just not the right width). The XS is too short- closer to 2 or 2.5 fingers above and below my knee cap. I feel like they’re made for a shorter person. I’m 5’6″, I think you’d need to be shorter than that for the XS knee pads to fit properly.Another thing about the knee pads is that the size and shape of the plastic is different. I expected the size to be different but not the shape. The plastic on the XS knee pad measures 5×5 and is completely rounded with no flat areas- it looks kind of like an elbow pad. The plastic on the S/M measures 6×6, (I wouldnβt think an inch difference would make that much difference but it really does). Also, the plastic is flat on the front and the edges are curved. A feature I see more higher end and pro pads.Fit aside I did a dead fall onto my knees wearing both pads onto a wood floor. Both were very protective. Surprisingly, the shape difference didnβt affect how I landed. I thought my knee would roll in the XS but it didn’t.Protection wise these are a big thumbs up. I’m super bummed they don’t fit.

I ordered the triple 8 basic saver pad kit for like 30$ and as soon as I got them I returned them. They were thin uncomfortable and really cheap feeling. I ordered these but didn’t really want to spend this much on pads. I’m glad I did. I’m not overly concerned with safety but wanted something there so I can try things without being a busted up mess for the rest of the week. They fit so much better are more comfortable and much better quality.My only complaint is the knee pads are sewn in a way that makes it hard to straighten your legs. I am hoping that once they break in and soften a bit this won’t be an issue.

They fit a little tight but not so much that it bothers me while skating. Easy to put on and take off. I have fallen about two times now and both times the wrist pads saved my hands and skin.

The pads fit well and have saved me from plenty of injury. There have been some instances where I’ve hit hard enough at an angle that gave me rug burn from the pads, so it isn’t perfect. Wearing the pads tighter may have prevented the slip, but it would have been quite uncomfortable to wear them any tighter.The wrist guards failed quickly. The strap that goes around your wrist frayed due to abrasion and eventually broke. It frays on the palm side of the wrist. I repaired it by sewing a new strap on top of the old one. I’ve since replaced them with a different set of pads that have a bit more support.

I ended up returning these as they were a too bulky for what i needed. But they felt nice and durable. I measured about an inch larger than the size they are for and i could still wear them.

This brand was the only one I could find that reliably offered size options for us adult humans with thick thighs and I was not disappointed. They fit great and they are DURABLE. I have taken some spills in these things when rollerskating and never even get a bruise they absorb the shock so well. They are a little chunky but thats what makes them so safe. They even are built in such a way that they encourage you to keep your knees bent when skating.

This was my third purchase of safety equipment and the only one I did not have to return due to poor fit. I use them while roller skating. I fell on my knees a few times (the shoelace untied) and I didnβt feel a thing. The subtle lightning design matches my helmet, so I also look cute!
