Black Diamond Telekneesis Kneepad

Do yourself a favor and get these. They're really lightweight, low profile, and they protect really well. I went a whole season without knee pads and then I decided that having two horribly bruised knees isn't something I felt like dealing with any more.I don't fall a lot, but when I do, it's usually on or around a box/jump. These things are godsends. Besides protecting you when you fall, I tend to plop down to my knees while waiting for my friends to catch up, and with these that action is completely painless. Without pads, I couldn't really do that with the ease I do now. It's not a big thing but it's a convenience.Unless you're pro and never fall, just get these. I know cool kids don't wear pads. I don't care. I'd prefer not to have sore, discolored knees.

As a ski instructor, I decided to give snowboarding a shot recently. After the first day, my knees were pretty sore both from falling and just from stopping/setting up.I decided to get a full set of protective gear, and these were a great choice for knee protection! I gouged a 2 inch deep foot long hole in the snow several times, and did not feel a thing.I would highly recommend this product to anyone who is trying to learn snowboarding. (Along with wrist guards/butt pads :) )If you don't feel safe falling, your progress will be hindered. A proper set of protective gear really gave me to confidence to keep trying new turns. I fell a bunch, but never felt close to really hurting myself. I made a lot more progress feeling like I could fall :)As far as this product is concerned, the straps are adjustable and comfortable. Upon first use I felt a bit of pinching in the back, but after loosening up during use they were completely comfortable. I wore them over a layer of long johns, under my snow pants.The hard plastic shell offers good protection, and the layer of foam underneath is extremely comfortable. It is good both for falling and for kneeling on when you're on the hill.As far as sizing goes, I'm 180lb/6ft and these fit perfectly. I'd estimate these products would fit pretty well on most if not all adults.In summary, if you're looking for snowboarding knee protection, you will not be disappointed in this product.

These are the best kneepads ive ever worn. Used them on a primarily dismounted deployment to Afghanistan. I'm EOD so I could get away with it. And they are black, so less noticeable. I used them when I got back for rehabbing a house. The best tning about them is tbey are not bulky at all. Thats my biggest comaint about most knee pads. These are pretty thin. It's a hard cap and thin padding. Pretty minimalist. But thats what i love about them. Not as cushy as PatellaT and whatnot. Just enough to do the job. They don't sag down as much as the bulky ones either. They do need to be pulled up from time to time, and they do get a little sweaty, but WAY, way, less than most kneepads I've ever worn.

They were comfortable and worked great for about a month. I wore them about 6 hours a day every day, and the knee caps came unglued. Crawling about 10 houses a day. They were the best knee pads I've worn, but they don't last long enough for the price.

It slips a lot. Very uncomfortable... had to return it.

Great set of minimal knee pads. I use these for rollerblade workouts on asphalt roads and roller skating in rinks. They can go under a set of jeans perfectly for discrete wearing or over, what ever you want to do. Protection for the knee has proven to be excellent in my case. Have fallen very hard on both hard wood skate rink floors and asphalt road--came up saying "wow, sure glad I had these knee pads on". And Yes, they stay in place,I have some more heavier duty pads to wear, but I usually use these because they are cooler,lighter, and very comfortable. Highly recommend. Now after a year of using, these are still the best knee pads I've ever used! Very comfortable and have protected my knees very well!

I personally didn't care for this product. It was light weight but to me the padding seemed too light. I didn't like the way the straps connected or the way it felt while I was wearing it. The material seemed flimsy. I only tried it on for a little while but I didn't like the fit of it and returned it.
