PRO DERBY KNEE PAD - Black/Grey

PRO DERBY KNEE PAD - Black

I’ve been using 187 Pro derby pads for 16 years and recently got a new pair. Idk how but they are even more comfortable and have better support.

My first couple months in derby I wore generic elastic pads. The 187 Pro Derby are a game changer… better fit and flexibility and quality built to last. Don’t wast money on anything else!

Three practices and a game in and I think I found my favorite knee pad. Have tried so many other brands and overtime they just don’t hold up. So fingers crossed this is the start of something great for my knees!

I recently purchased the 187 Pro Derby Knee Pads, and they saved me from significant injury on the very first day I used them. My previous Pro Derby Knee Pads had served me well for about six years but had started to wear out, sliding down during crashes and causing painful injuries. These new pads replaced those old ones, and what a difference they made!
On my first outing with the new pads, I hit a large, triangular-shaped rock that acted like a wheel chock, stopping my skate abruptly at around 15 mph. I went down hard, landing on one knee pad and stabilizing my slide with my 187 wrist guard. I slid for about 10 feet but was able to get up and continue skating without any injury.
These pads are a major improvement over my worn-out ones. I can’t recommend them enough! Just make sure to get the right size—if they’re too big, they might slide off in an accident. Mine felt rather tight the first time I put them on, but when it mattered, I was grateful for the snug fit.
