Rekd Elbow Pads

REKD offers Street elbow pads for minimalist protection and Pro elbow pads for high-impact sports. Street pads use thin, flexible foam and a soft cap, whereas Pro pads use thicker foam and a rigid plastic cap. There is also a Ramp pad model, combining comfort with extra padding for vert skating.

Yes. The sleeves use breathable neoprene or mesh fabrics that wick moisture. Ventilation holes or mesh inserts keep arms cool, making long sessions comfortable.

Dual Velcro straps wrap above and below the elbow, and the pre-curved design ensures the pad stays in place. Some models add a silicone strip inside the sleeve to prevent slipping. Proper sizing is essential to keep pads from twisting during falls.

Low-profile Street pads fit under loose clothing. Pro pads are bulkier and best worn over clothing, especially in hot weather. If wearing under clothes, ensure the fabric doesn’t cause chafing.

Hand wash with cold water and a mild detergent. Remove any removable padding or caps and let them air dry. Washing machines can break down foam or ruin straps.

No. Sizes range from S to XL. Measure your forearm and bicep and compare with REKD’s size guide. Poorly fitted pads can cause discomfort and slip out of place.

Yes. Multi-layer foam absorbs shocks from hard landings. Pro models have dual-density foam: a soft layer against the skin and a firmer layer near the cap. This combination disperses impact energy and protects elbows effectively.

Pro-level pads offer adequate protection for downhill speeds when combined with wrist guards and helmets. However, some downhill riders prefer specialized armour with built-in elbow and shoulder protection. Assess your risk level and choose gear accordingly.
