Rekd Knee Pads

The Street knee pads offer low-profile protection for casual skating, while the Ramp and Pro pads include thicker padding, reinforced caps and wrap-around straps for high-impact sports. REKD’s Heavy Duty pads use dual-layer foam and high-density outer shells to protect against repeated hard falls.

Choose based on your activity level. For commuting or light park skating, Street pads suffice. For ramp skating, vert or BMX, select Ramp or Pro pads to absorb bigger impacts. If you ride hard regularly, the Heavy Duty pads provide extended coverage and durability.

Measure around your knee joint and compare with the REKD size chart. Most pads come in sizes S to XL. Pads should fit snugly without cutting off circulation. The straps allow fine adjustments; if a pad feels loose, consider sizing down or tightening the straps.

Street pads are slim and can be worn under clothing. Ramp and Pro pads are larger, with thicker foam and high-impact caps. They protrude more but offer superior protection for aggressive skating.

No. The pre-curved shape and articulated cap design allow full bending and flexing of the knee. They stay in place while you skate or ride. Thicker pads take some getting used to, but they do not hinder your ability to bend.

Yes. Hand wash or use a gentle cycle with cool water and mild detergent. Remove any detachable caps and Velcro, then air dry completely. Avoid high heat, which can warp the plastic caps or degrade the foam.

Some REKD models allow you to replace the outer shell or cap. Check the product description; if the cap screws on, you can purchase replacement caps when the originals become scratched or worn.

With proper care, knee pads last one to two seasons of regular use. Replace them when the foam compresses or the straps lose elasticity. Cracked caps indicate it’s time for a new pair.
