These pads are definitely worth the money. I use these whenever I board and they have saved my knees on several occasions. They give you the confidence to do funky tricks and allow you to fall on your knees as many times as you want without pain. They get sweaty & stinky, but that's the case with all knee pads & if you let 'em air out for a while they'll be fine. If you like keeping your knees, these are for you.
