The Pro tec knee pads are great! They are the best I've used yet. They slide nice on the concrete transitions in the skate park. They have saved my knees many times. At $20 they were a bargain and came pretty quick too!

Don't bother surfing around looking for others, these are the pads you want. Very comfortable and a bargain at the price. Strong well made pads that seem like they take can some decent amount of punishment. Overall great product.
