187 Pro Knee Pads
These Pro Knee Pads, also known as "Killer Pads" from 187 were made specifically for vert skateboarding & pools. 187’s orthopedic padding is substantial and includes Pro-core impact absorption to take the force of the spill rather than your knees! Dual density interior memory foam conforms to your knees; add to that the seams are turned in so they won’t irritate your legs. These killer pads wrap high on your leg and over the knee so there is no way for the pads to slip down. Easy on/off - no need to remove your shoes. 187’s are worn by Pro Skaters like Tony Hawk, Bob Burnquist, Cara-Beth Burnside & Christian Hosoi, just to name a few – they must be good! The 187 Pro Knee Pads are subtitled Killer Pads for a reason. The adjectives that come to mind are beefy, massive, outsized. It all adds up to serious knee protection!

187 Pro "Killer Knee Pads" - The Bottom Line
Stitched inside a rugged nylon Cordura casing are two high-density foam pads sewn together to create more than two inches of padded protection. Add to this a heavy-duty ABS kneecap and you’ve got tremendous protection. The ABS kneecap in the 187 Pro Knee Pad is attached via an ingenious Velcro design that guarantees the pad to stay put over your knee. So if your style is to drag a knee, don’t worry about the cap flying off or wearing the cap out. It won’t fly off, but if you do wear it out, you can simply replace it, which is unique to the 187 Pro Knee Pad. Maybe that’s why they call them "Killer Pads."
