Good but not the best As a beginner snowboarder, I bought these for my trip to Mont Tremblant, Canada. I fell alot and when I fell on the kneepads, they worked great. However, they tend to shift around a bit (especially if you fall alot) and I ended up with a few extra bruises from times when the kneepads shifted out of place. I will continue to use them, but I would probably buy a different brand next time.

Good knee pads for boarders Good knee pads for snow-boarder as we tend to spend more time on our knees. Fairly comfortable fit under the shell and over the base layer with its adjustable straps. The hard outer shell offers superior protection from icy or other hard surface kneels but the underside padding can be reinforced as these pads offer little to shock absorption or protection from frictional abrasion. After a full days use, knees emerged a bit sore yet sufficiently protected attesting to the need for a thicker and softer padding. Perhaps a gel insert would perfect this otherwise 'good' light weight knee pads.

like them I like these a lot. They are light weight and comfortable. I can't believe I used to ski without them. I don't anymore. One thing though, they should use a Fastex buckle or something similar for quick attachment. The buckles that come with these require that the strap must be threaded through a slot in the buckle every time you put them on. I'd prefer that they just clip in. That is the only reason I did not give these 5 stars.
