McDavid Moisture Wicking HEX Technology Knee Sleeves for Women/Men, Elbows & Shins Protection, Hex Pads

I looked for these pads in the store but they did not have the size needed for my son. He is 8 years old and in the 50th percentile for both height and weight. The sizes on the box are very accurate. I would not recommend having pads larger than recommended as they will slide off if not sized right. My son is in football for the first time. His arms were taking a beating. In addition other kids have been getting hit in the elbow by helmets. These pads, though not as thick as others, work fantastic. They help disperse the impact and keep his elbows and upper arms from getting hurt. I highly recommend these pads. They do not interfere (at least in my opinion) with his catching the ball. They are not to bulky and he can still bend at the elbow pretty easily although it did take 1 practice to get used to the feel. **UPDATE** I am very pleased with these pads. During the season they endured being worn the entire football season, were torn off inside out as only an 8 year old can do, washed multiple times and still retained their shape and protection qualities. They prevented his arms from getting black and blue. I purchased another pair of these same pads for him the next year.

Bought this for my oldest daughter who is in middle school. She is the center for her team. These pads are great and protect the knee well. They are not big or bulky like other knee pads. They stay in place and do wash. The first pair lasted over a year. This is my second pair and I would not get any other knee pad because they work so well. There are little hex shaped pads inside closely together to protect from injury. When she has fallen she no longer brusies. She says they are comfortable and she does not feel the impact of the floor. Because they have worked so well we bought them for our youngest and she equally likes them as well. They have a tight fit so when ordering take that into consideration. I ordered a large for my oldest and a medium for my youngest. I would recommend these pads to anyone who wants to protect the knee.

Pros: Good texture, doesn't get stinky, conforms to the knee, and protects my knee while playing. Aside from upper elastic (see cons), very comfy while active. Cons: Seems to run a little small. The upper elastic is too tight (the rest fits fine), and has a tendency to "scrunch down" after a little bit, which means constant adjusting. I also can't sit with my knees tighter than 90 degrees without my lower legs going to sleep. Summary: Great overall, but if you're close to a boundary, go up a size. I bought Medium after measuring 15" around my knee. If these don't stretch out a bit more, I plan to purchase a Large. UPDATE: After wearing it about 4 times (for a few hours of activity at a time) and giving the upper (tighter) elastic some good tugs, it has stretched to the point that I actually forgot I was wearing it last time. I would hope for something like this to not need so much breaking in, but I'm going to hope that's a sign that it will hold up for a long time.

They are pretty good. I wear them underneath my skinny Jean's at work. I work at Trader Joe's so I'm kneeling down all the time. I wear them all day just fine. It took a bit to get used to at the beginning though. They aren't meant for shock absorption but they do protect your knees from moderate to light pressure. Probably could be good for dancers as well. I'm 6'3" and weight about 160 and I had to get a large (so it does run small get at least one size bigger than you would think). It kind of cuts off my circulation if i bend my knee too much for too long and it leaves an imprint on my knees when i take them off. But it serves the purpose I need them for sufficiently. When I'm just walking around they aren't super noticeable. People can barely even tell I'm wearing them unless they notice my knees look swollen. Which is what I wanted. So i would recommend them as a fairly good product functionality wise but there will still be a measure of discomfort here and there. But you get used to it.

Muy cómodas realmente, después de un rato ya ni las sientes el padding esta grueso, se sienten bien las compre de mi talla y sin problemas las compré para mountains bike quizá no sea lo mejor pero ayudan bastante ya tuve una caída y sin problema, Tampoco es que haga enduro pero son perfectas para cross country caminos técnicos , raíces y piedras , te dan una sensacoin de seguridad, recomendadisimos.

Nada aparatosas. Finas por detrás para una buena evacuación del sudor y del calor. Su función protectora la cumple con creces. Yo las uso para BJJ y van muy bien. Son muy ligeras y no entorpecen para nada el rango de movimiento

bonne genouillères fines mais protectrices, supporte assez bien les chocs, et qui permettent à l'articulation de bouger tout en conservant une protection maximum. Je recommande

Benutze die jetzt seit einigen Wochen zum Tanzen und kann nur Positives zu den Schonern sagen. Meine Knie sind geschützt. Hatte bisher keinen einzigen dunklen Fleck am Knie. Schützt auch gut an den Seiten und ist super flexibel. 10/10

Conoscendo la marca speravo di andare sul sicuro e l'acquisto ha trovato conferma. Ottima qualità, indossabilità e robustezza dei materiali.
