Triple Eight Saver Series Pad Set with Kneesavers, Elbowsavers and Wristsavers, Medium, Sunset

I’m an old lady who just started up skateboarding again to teach my son the sport. In honor of not having been on a board in the last 20 years I decided I needed to gear up for the occasion. I am 5’6” and roughly 130lbs.-these do not fit snug, they are just straps that go around, whereas some of the more durable pads first have to be pulled up like a sleeve and then velro has to be tightened for a snug fit. In the event I ever fall I know for sure these will slide out of place leaving me with nasty road rash. I kept this set only for the wrist gaurds and dont bother with the rest. I will find something more along the lines of the protec that I got for my son because I put those on and feel way more protected.

I purchased these when I began an adult roller derby academy about three months ago, knowing nothing about padding or the fact that more substantial pads were available and might be more appropriate. I have already retired the knee and elbow pads from this set and upgraded to the EP55 (elbow pads) and KP22 (knee pads) from Triple 8 instead. This set would be good for a true beginner who doesn't know if they want to continue with roller sports, but as soon as I realized I might be continuing with skating for a while, buying more substantial pads made sense.

These seem like good basic protective gear, which is what I was going for. I gave it 4 stars because it's not the most comfortable. But than again I am not used to wearing protective gear. It will do the job tho!

I just started roller derby and didn't want to spend a ton on gear. I made a good choice with this set. We've done a ton of knee slides and knee tap drills, and my knees have felt zero pain. :)

I bought these to add to the existing collection of inline skating pads I share with my kids. At $32, my hopes were high for some decent quality equipment. Wow, seriously disappointed! I have spent half as much on better pad collections found on amazon.I have been rollerblading for years and taken plenty of spills. I would not consider this version of pads safe at all. When I was unboxing them, I seriously thought I had bought something made to go with a Halloween costume. These pads are not sleeved. They are literally a piece of foam with two Velcro straps that go around your arm or leg. I prefer elbow pads with a sleeve that it pull my arm through, and then Velcro snug.I am not going to knock the Triple 8 brand because they make better products. This "Saver Series" may be one to avoid though.One shinning light, Amazons return policy was easy.

I am very disappointed in these. They are awesome colors but they are not very well constructed. My daughter wore these for the first time today and fell twice. The hard plastic cut through the leather. She was on plain concrete outside and not sliding across the asphalt.

So first, here’s the positive: I fell flat on my face the first time I wore these pads to go skating and they did their job. With the exception of a small bruise where the bottom of the plastic plate hit my shin, my knees, elbows, and wrists were totally safe.Now the not so great: The sizing on these pads is wack.I wear a size 16 jeans and have proportionally thick thighs. When I put the Velcro straps all the way around my legs, they cut into my thighs and calves painfully. The elbow pads are also too small. Conversely, the wrist guards are enormous and the Velcro barely connects because I have to wrap it so far around my wrists. Let’s bare in mind that I’m not much larger than the *average* size for an adult American woman and consider that Triple8 definitely has some work to do when it comes to size inclusivity.So I would say, if you’re a size 12 or under these will probably work well for you. I’ll personally be looking for a brand that fits me better since there are no larger sizes available.

These certainly are the "saver series". However, the save part is price not protection. While I liked the cost and the concept, the padding is a bit too little and moves too much to really be useful. I think the hard part is that you are looking at three different sets of pads and unless you happen to get very lucky, the odds of all three fitting appropriately are next to none. In my case (adult female), the knee pads fit but were not very padded, the elbow pads were ok but also less padded than expected and moved around too much to feel comfortable, and the wrist guards were way too big out of the package, let alone how they will do after use. Sadly, I will be returning these as they will not fit my needs but I could see them as a good value kids, recreational (skating around the park) pads.

Le doy 3 estrellas por varios motivos:1. No es nada claro lo de las tallas.2. El producto venia un poco raspado3. Es un buen producto, pero viene con pequeñas fallas en su construcción, nada que no unas puntadas no reparen.Sin embargo, puedo decir que es un buen producto, me ha gustado mucho, se ve robusto, y ofrece muy buena protección. Lo de las tallas, puedo decir que no se guíen por ellas, compre esto para mi sobrina cuya medida de muñeca es de 5 pulgadas, así que debería ser la medida Junior, pero como me puse a leer antes en Amazon de USA, vi que en realidad vienen muy pequeñas, y por suerte solicite el tamaño pequeño, y ha sido correcto. Al final yo recomiendo esto:Junior, para niños menores de 7 añosPequeño para niños entre 8 y 12Mediano para jovencitos de entre 13 y 15Grande para adultos jóvenes y adultos.Lo recomiendo, si ampliamente la protección es perfecta, comparada con las que venden en jugueterías que tienen el mismo precio, este producto lo supera ampliamente. Se ve cómodo, resistente y duradero.

Quite like this item. But the one I received has a small scratch on one of the knee pad. Didn't return it as I am sure I will scratch it anyway during my skateboarding.

Great product! Value for money and protected me from falls when i was skating

Great product!

Really good product
