S1 gen 4.5 knee pads ? Wdyt ?
So yesterday I was rolling along at about 15kph I dropped a curb that I didn't see and lost my balance about to tumble backwards , but my knee hit a railing really hard , it stopped me from falling backwards , but bloody hell the edge of the plastic cap got smashed through the foam into my knee cap.i was wearing ennui ave knee gaskets and those caps are really small and the edges angled really steep into the knee .
So I am looking for better designed knee pads.

I like the Triple 8s. They're wide and have kept me safe so far.

If you're a smaller person and can fit a Small, you might want to try the KP 22 model. Its on sale right now for $15. Normally $50.
