never had kneepads before, never thought i'd need them. once i used these, i will never go boarding without them again.

i usually don't like sitting on my butt on a hill, because a) i don't want to get nailed by somebody crashing down the hill w/o seeing it coming; and b) i usually look up the hill to see if my slower friends are coming down. therefore, i rest on my knees, and these are worth their price for that use alone - tough yet comfortable.

the reason they went above and beyond is because they saved my knees when i crashed in this huge ice patch i didn't see. i would definitely have been out of commission for at least a week if it wasn't for these pads.

with all due respect to other reviewers' sensitive skin, i have strapped these directly to my bare leg w/o any problems...;)

pros:
lightweight, flexible, good coverage, keeps knees protected and WARM.

cons:
vinyl strap is a little uncomfortable when squatting, i make sure it's always on the bottom and keep it loose.
