Big knees? LOOK AT THESE!
I have thick thighs and big knees I guess, what can I say? I'm blessed. I am 5'3 185 or so and wear a size 12-14 in jeans but my knees and thighs are bigger that usual, I am beginning to think. I have found myself marvelling at how tiny people's knees sometimes are! How I have never noticed this before. How hard it is to find kneepads that fit! Mine are a whole handful! I tried a few other brands of kneepads but they just didn't feel right at all. After googling kneepads for huge knees (lol) I found these. I believe they are for roller derby but I don't mind that. These are exactly what I was looking for for casual rollerskating on quad skates. Something that actually fit! They are comically large looking especially compared to the others I ordered and tried before finding these but that is a good thing! I feel safe wearing them and they protect my whole beautiful knee and the surrounding area, not just a little tip like the others I tried. They don't squeeze my thighs to death but are snug and comfortable and don't slide around or limit motion too much. I love them! I have already scuffed them up- zero injuries-didn't even feel it! They work a treat!

High quality product
Great quality. As a roller derby player who enjoys all forms of skating I highly recommend any Triple Eight product. High quality that can last a long time.

They fit snug and really hold up to a beating!!
I have used these at the rink for about 3 weeks and three times at a concrete skate park and I went hard and they held up. I am black and purple all over my butt and legs but these have protected my knees. My knees dont hurt and as you can see the pads have held up really well. I am super impressed by the thickness inside compared to their basic set of pads that work our really quick. I used those for a week and busted my knee so I got these on a recommendation from a derby girl. I am not at all disappointed. The only downside is something that happens with any pad. After about 4 hours in sweating and have Jean's on and have to pull them up after a collision but during the fall they are still in place. That will happen with any pads though when you sweat. I have a medium body but big calfs I got a medium and the fit really snug. I probably could have got a large. Hope this helps someone.

If you have meaty legs, choose your sizes carefully!
My legs aren't skinny, nor are they tree trunks, but it seems that these knee pads fall under the "Asian sizing" category perhaps. I measured the circumference of my knees at the middle of the kneecaps, both straight and while slightly bent, it came to 15.75" (40cm), so I ordered MEDIUM. (14.5"-16", according to both the manufacturer's sizing chart on their site, as well as the chart shown in the product images). Medium was entirely too small for my legs, but mainly because of my thighs. *My thighs, when measured approximately 4-fingers width (3") above the top of the kneecap is 18.5" in circumference. The majority of the pad's sizing would have fit just fine, if it weren't for the extremely short velcro flaps that connect behind your legs. The straps were "just about long enough", but the flaps... yeah, no. Without those flaps connecting behind my legs, I'd have to hold them in place with one hand while trying to do up the straps with the other. Although that isn't exactly the most challenging thing to do, it would likely cause these to become extremely uncomfortable as well as not stay in place as well as they should otherwise. Oh, yeah... I say that the straps were "just about long enough" because all this trying them on was done while wearing shorts. I fully intend to wear these over jeans or other such pants... while electric skateboarding. Although I probably should have ordered a size up, I don't think it would have mattered (for me) because my legs are those of an avid cyclist plus someone that's quite athletic to begin with. Based on other reviewer's comments from around the web, those with more muscular/meaty legs (like myself), going up a size wouldn't matter because those velcro flaps are simply not long enough to connect... the size of everything else would get larger, but the size of the flaps & straps doesn't, or doesn't increase in size as much as the rest of the pad's material does. Speaking of materials, and build quality... I would have to say that these ARE quite nice for the price, or even not for the price, just in general! The stitching was solid, the materials were fault-free, the plastic is thick enough to last a good amount of wipes, the padding is good enough to absorb some serious impacts, everything about these seem like they'd be excellent knee pads! To summarize: The ONLY problem I had with these knee pads is that their sizing is wonky and seemingly not intended for those with meatier/thicker legs. I'll be returning for a refund and trying a different brand, likely going to have to try several different brands & sizes to get the right ones that actually fit.

Nice and safe!
Saved my knees a few times and worth the money! Easily added on once you get a feel for them and their sizing is good.

They lasted me a year
Bought these Jan 14th, 2023 and the left knee pad just broke on me last night. I wore these while playing airsoft during both public indoor play and competitive tournaments and they were great. After a while I noticed the left plastic pad was starting to become loose from the constant sliding which is a given. Last night it finally broke completely off. So about a year of constant playing and really beating them up, they gave out. The only downside was that they did slide down my knee after a bit of playing so I am buying another pair a size down (I had the XL, buying L next). These things never failed me up until last night. My knees were never sore or in pain no matter how hard I hit the ground. Definitely buying another pair and I would 100% recommend them to anyone trying to protect their knees.

One size fits all?
I bought a small, but normally wear a medium. I have descent muscle on my legs but hoped for a streamlined fit. The fit is as expected according to the size chart, but the shell doesn't match the sizing. I cannot knock the quality of these, but I bought these hoping they would be a better fit than the lighter, 1 size fits all version. They were severely disappointing in that regard. as the fit went the other way - bigger and bulky. The hard shell and kneepad seem 2 sizes too large for my leg. I can't see this staying in place if I take a good impact, the edge of the shell getting pulled away from my knee. (This has happened before, and makes it all nearly pointless.) The quality seems to be great, otherwise, so if you are a Large, I'd say get these, as they should fit you fine, and a medium... maybe. But a small? You're better off with the other triple 8 version, or some other brand. I think they made different size straps and sleeves, but just used a single size of hard shell for this model. Dumb

Excellent knee pads
A very sturdy knee pads. The material is excellent and of high quality. I've ordered by their size chart and it was accurate. They sit very comfortably in place, and I never had to manipulate their location while rolling. Their protection seems excellent (felt and used them for quite few times already) - the impact was good and they didn't move at all from place. I personally very like the fact they do not have any sleeve around the leg, nevertheless, they are quite bulky and I don't think can be wore in any way under the pants.

Terrible fit
Like others have said, this is a very large knee pad. In fact, the problem isn't that it's large. It's that the shape just doesn't fit well. It'd be great if your knee was shaped like a square in cross section, but given that we have basically cylindrically shaped knees, the large plastic pad really should be curved around the knee cap. I bought mine a size down because others said it's too big for size. For me, the velcro *just* reaches around (so a little too small) yet the plastic cap on the front is way too big. This is unusable.
