Product Description

This pair of black Shock Wave knee pads is made of thick foam padding (roughly 3/4"). The outside is made of a durable elasticized fabric blend and it's crafted in one single piece around the outside. We've found the multi-part construction for knee pads just doesn't hold up for fighting/mat work (it's cheaper that way, but you end up replacing them quicker).

Since most people don't keep their legs STRAIGHT during their whole workout (we don't), we thought it was kind of dumb to have knee pads that were FLAT. These are made of foam that's molded to a slight curve to better fit your knees when they are BENDING - we use them too and wanted something that wasn't going to KILL our knees after being bent for 20 minutes...

It's a non-slip fit and holds shape and size through repeated use and washings. No special care is required - though we don't recommend machine drying since that kind of beats up any sort of padding.

For sizing we usually recommend that you match your t-shirt size. Unless your body type is one extreme or the other, that's what we have them made to fit.

3.0 out of 5 stars they're okay..., February 19, 2010

My husband ordered these for our kickboxing/mma class as we hadn't been using anything up to this point. The came as expected and I have no major qualms with the product. There are two things worthy of note:
- sizing - we weren't sure which sizes to order so we ordered both medium and large and hoped for the best. Well the medium was to small for me (I have pretty solid legs) and the large is a bit to big on the front. But they do work.
- after wearing them a bit during mma work the back does begin binding (which is really hard to fix when you are in a hold of some sort) and thats rather uncomfortable. I realize that most kneepads will do this at some point, but the fabric begins rolling under itself which starts cutting into the leg.
Overall they aren't bad and will function until they wear out (or get really gross)

I use these knee pads for my work and I love them. I work in the health care feild and I spend a lot of time on knees to save my back. Surprisingly, in my sometimes 10 hour work days where I am running around they do not slip. The seller was exellent too. If and when they do wear out I will buy another pair and from the same seller too.

This review is from: Shock Wave Elastic Cloth Knee Pads - Black (Misc.)

I bought these knee pads because I practice my grapples and throws with my bag on concrete, and mats were currently out of my budget. These pads don't slide around on my leg when doing kicks or when moving around on the ground, and they allow full motion of my knee without discomfort. I am very happy with them and if or when they wear out I will get them again.
