Which knee pads last for a good amount of time, good for their price, comfortable ect. Theres not many reviews on youtube since it would only be a really short video, but what would you guys reccomend?

Theres cheap ones at Rebel Sports which seem alright, but how about the ones at hopkins?

buy the tsg ones from hopkin the slim fit looking ones i love them feels like your wearing ffeathers

Yeah those are the most comfortable, great for bombing, but they wont last as long if you always fall...
I think the rebel ones you are thinking of are good to take an impact but after that, they'll probably fall of and you'll still get road rash, but again good for bombing

But the bulkier and bigger the knee pads, normally the more protective they get, but the more uncomfortable they get as well

Hard cap knee sliders/pads are best for stacks as they just slide and can take the impact

Probally the ones i would recommend for sliding are http://www.hopkin.com.au/187-fly-knee-pads.html, not to bulky and uncomfortable but in the right side is great for most things

187s are comfortable and fit well. They wrap around your leg so you don't have pointy bits jutting out all over the shop. They don't slip down while you're sliding on them either so they will actually protect you.

Check out TSG all terains, i have them and they're really good.

i have owned the 187's and the all terrains anf the other slim fit ones and i think the slim fit ones are the best there supportive as hell

Can't go past TSG Force III awesome pads, stay on at speed (seen a guy slide down the road on them after a 60kph crash) have heaps of protection and the company actually supports Aussie events and riders!!!!!!!!!!

+1 for TSG. Mine are probably around 10 years old and still going strong! (Even if they are 60% gaff now...)

Wish I was wearing them three months ago.
I just hate this trend of people bombing hills with no knee pads.
If I can stuff my knee skating to work. You can do it any where.
I will be wearing knee pads every time I skate, when I get back to it.

the 187 fly knees are great knee pads and really snug!!!

I have a set of these( rector fatboys), very good, little bit longer then the 187's so they never move on me.
