STREET 3-PACK PAD SET - OPEN BACK - GREY

Good protection, coverage, value

Adult skateboarder using the set in small to medium concrete vert park. Intentionally bought this set for a less bulky fit alternative to Protec Pro or the other leading "pro" brand. In my opinion this street package offers adequate knee protection for 2-5 knee slides per session for someone staying at lip or coping level and not doing 10+ ft bowls or airs of any kind. I'm using on features up to 8ft or so -- assuming you know how to knee slide. The biggest risk with this set is the pad sliding down during a fall or knee slide and experiencing scrape or impact exposure. My only real negative comments are there seems to be some changes vs the earlier version of Protec pads I had -- not sure if those were earlier version of street or vert pads though for fair comparison. A little less padding than the earlier version particularly on the area above and below the plastic cup. The earlier version had a little more coverage above or below the straps and helpful belt loops which kept the elastic straps over the back fabric and not your skin. I also prefer closed back for knee pads that earlier version had.

Elbow pad strap ripped on first use!!!

Great look and VERY comfy. I’m so stoked to ride now, despite being the kind of dude who’s too old to fall down…
