Derby print & leopard pads are gone forever. Sorry!

187 Pro knees were manufactured
for vert skateboarding &
specifically pools and are endorsed by Tony Hawk even though 187 doesn't pay him to do it.
They feature orthopedic super thick padding. Pro-core
impact absorption, dual density interior memory foam, seamless hinge
for maximum flexibility and comfort, neoprene butterfly closure, ultra high-strength ballistic
nylon, durable double-stitching and super thick caps, totally replaceable. The cap "pour point" is also
on the side (instead of on the top, where there is already a lot of stress) for these, so they are
much harder to crack, and easier to replace if they do. But we haven't
replaced any yet. And the seams on these are turned in, so they don't leave irritating marks on your legs.
Highly recommended. Size Chart
Size hint: RUNS LARGE & BREAKS IN. Buy very SNUG. I wore an L in Fat Boys. I wear a M in 187s. - Ivanna
Recaps - we don't get many requests for them - they don't break! But we do get requests for white caps from teams that have
crazy rink owners. Re-Caps fit all sizes & come with new velcro.
Old velcro can be re-anchored with superglue. |

TSG "Force III" kneepads
|
TSG Force III kneepads are made for aggressive vert and pipe skaters.
They are sized very large in comparison to the other pads - Alma Bichess wears
a size medium (she wore XL in Fat Boys and Pro-tec). Made of top quality reinforced Cordura,
double-layer
memory foam smooth under cap (no donut like the Fat Boys. Girls with former kneecap/sliding
injuries seem to prefer the flatter memory foam of TSG). Super soft Lycra/neoprene
adjustable Velcro straps for a non-slip, snug fit with easy closing (not pull-on). Neoprene back straps for added comfort.
Easily replaceable
velcro fastened recaps.
VERY DIFFICULT TO KEEP IN STOCK. The distributor is Canadian and also wasn't ready for demand like
ours - see the "187" details for info. |

Rector "FAT BOY" Knee Pads
|
Rector Fat Boy Pads were manufactured for vert skateboarding &
specifically pools. They feature orthopedic super thick padding, including a donut ring of padding
2" thick between your kneecap and the cap of the pads. Sturdier than Pro-tec, with wrap-around
neoprene butterfly back flaps & heavy-duty double-stitched elastic/velcro straps to tighten.
These fit over your legs, rather than pulling on over your foot.
Choose a snug fit for the best protection. Fat Boy knee pads run SMALL (relative to the other brands we carry).
Recommended.

187 JUNIOR Knee Pads
| 187 JUNIOR Pads
REALLY REALLY EXTREMELY SMALL. These look like the 187 "Fly" series to us, though the manufacturer tells us they are made with the Pro quality and materials.
The caps are riveted on. These are really small! Not kidding! So if you're a regular sized woman, they are not going to fit you.

Triple 8 "KP22" Knee Pads
| Triple 8 Pads Are
made of heavy-duty EVA memory-foam. They have a high-density cap w/reinforced
rivets, and webbed adjustable straps over neoprene butterfly closure. These fit
over your legs, rather than pulling on over your foot, but are otherwise Pro-Tec style but better quality
materials and workmanship, which is why we recommend them over PT. Choose a snug fit for the
best protection.

|

with velcro/elastic strap for tightening. All Pro-Tec pads drop-ship via ups ground and will
come in a separate package from any other Sin City Skates items you order. Only Black Available.
Choose a snug fit for the best protection.
