Each iteration of the revered S1 Pro Knee Pads builds on the legacy and lessons of the previous model, and Generation 4 is no different. This model sees the stitching reinforced at strap contact points and adds a new layer of shock reducing foam to the inner assembly of foams that work in unison to protect from heavy, repetitive impacts. The design, function, and sizing is otherwise identical to Gen 3, which was so much in demand that it was hard to keep on the shelves! S1's Knee Pads feature a streamlined design that molds to your knee and is praised for not restricting skating strides or mobility. Ballistic nylon makes up the bulk of the pad's construction, which means that you trust it to take some pretty nasty falls, slides, and scrapes without falling apart. The pad is secured through a very comfortable combination of neoprene butterfly straps, an adjustable high-strength nylon strap, and a thick elastic Velcro strap. The knee caps are shaped to fall flat against the floor and are replaceable should you crack or lose them.
