Description
While the Shock Sleeve Pro Knee Gasket from Ennui may not carry the same level of protection as a thick padded, hard-cap protector, it sure does make up for it in the way it allows you to move freely while doing your action sport.
A stretchable knitted cotton sleeve has been fitted internally with silicone strips to prevent slippage, ensure a snug fit and that the pads stay in place all the time. These pads feature the uniquely developed material - SPC - that is the brainchild of both the development team at Ennui/Powerslide and the guys over at MyFit - Who make skate liners for Powerslide.
This material will not only absorb the load of impact but also help disperse it throughout the construction - Ensuring that the impact to your joints is limited as much as possible. The Pro version features an abrasion resistant Kevlar coating, which provides more flexy comfort and protection than the non-pro version and allows you to move around even more freely.
A clear benefit from this soft-shell protection is both the low weight and also the ability to be protected beneath your regular clothing - Allowing you to look stylish and be fully protected at the same time.
Besides crash protection, the pro version also protects from glides with its high abrasion resistant Aramid fiber cover. A smart choice for downhill longboarders and speed skaters. The pro model is also slightly lighter than the non-pro version, weighing next to nothing.

I love these, the definitely have helped save my knees, I *probably* could've gotten a small instead of a medium because they are a little looser than I think they should be, but I love wearing them under my pants and feel secure with them on. I took a big fall with them down a big bowl, I had a freshly healed scar on my knee and the friction ripped off the new skin. I will wear big knee pads with plastic covers in vert and big bowls as I'm learning, but hey they did save my knee caps. | ||

They fit perfect & do the job. I’ve been feeling way more comfortable grinding & trying new ones because I know I’m okay. Go hard or Go Home | ||

These are the best pads if you want stealthy flexible pads without a cup. The high tech fabric is kind of slippery so you slide when you fall on them and ergonomically they have a better fit than any other brand. I ordered and tried on about $500 worth of pads ---all different brands to try on. Of all those pads the Ennui Shock Sleeve Pro Knee Gasket and Elbow Gasket were the ones I kept. | ||

I am a man who is 69 years old & never did any board sports, but am now buying a Onewheel XR & like any wheeled device there’s always the chance of falling. I really needed high quality elbow & knee pads. I unhesitatingly chose SKATEPRO because I saw a short video where two men described the Ennui knee & elbow pads and their description of the quality materials impressed me. I love the fact the Ennui material has Kevlar that saved my knee from injury, AND allowed me to slide away from danger. The Ennui knee pads ( Gaskets) have a wider protective area on the sides of the knee that is far SUPERIOR than any other brand in any country in the world! ENNUI Shock Sleeve Pro Knee Gaskets AND the Shock Sleeve Pro Elbow Gaskets fit perfectly snug, look great and the unique material that instantaneously becomes hard at the first micro-second upon impact to a hard surface is freakin AWESOME because it saved my hide from injury! | ||

These gaskets are lovely and comfy and have certainly done the job when I’ve taken a tumble. I’m in my 40s so need to feel well protected, but capped knee pads felt too restrictive. These are fab. The fit is a bit tight. I measured properly and still they could have been bigger - I suspect they were designed around men whose thighs don’t get thicker the higher up you get like a woman’s does, but they do the job and they stay up. I’m very happy overall. | ||

Good quality pads. Fit under looser clothing. They get hard when cold but soften up when you've had them on for a while. I've not fell onto them yet so I can't say how effective they are at cushioning impacts. | ||

They are light, comfortable to where you don't notice to mutch that you are using them, you can get a bit worn, buy mutch better than a normal pad, plus as the foam is always soft only change in a big shock, so it gets hard as plastic and gives you the right protection at the right moment. | ||
