S-One S1 Pro Knee Pads Gen 4

The S1 Pro Gen 4 pads are built for serious impact protection, featuring a substantial 40mm foam core and memory foam lining. This setup is significantly more robust than recreational pads, designed specifically to absorb high-energy shocks during demanding skating sessions.

S-One uses an articulated butterfly back flap design specifically to prevent slippage. Combined with the locking adjustment top straps, these pads are engineered to stay securely in place even during intense movement.

Yes, the high-abrasion PC knee caps are replaceable. This allows you to extend the lifespan of the pads by swapping out the caps once the surface becomes too worn or scratched from repeated impacts.

The memory foam lining is designed to mold to the unique shape of your knee over time. This creates a form-fitting, personalized feel that enhances both comfort and stability compared to standard, non-molding foam padding.

While they offer heavy-duty protection with 40mm of padding, the design is streamlined to minimize unnecessary bulk. However, due to the thickness required for serious impact absorption, they are best suited for wearing over pants or for skaters who prioritize protection over a low-profile aesthetic.

The ultra-flat surface provides a stable, predictable contact point when you go down on your knees. This helps prevent the pads from rolling or catching on the skating surface, allowing you to slide out of a fall more controlled and safely.
