I really like these pads. First I like its color black & orange and my mom likes it because its hard on the outside and soft on the inside. That's all I have to say.
Thank you THE END

As mentioned in a previous review, these pads are great protection- not overly bulky, yet do indeed have a gel like padding. As also mentioned by another reiewer, these do indeed fit a wide sprectrum of ages: my 7 yr. old daughter has a pair; and so do I(45 yr old. male!!).
All said, highly recommended.

Bought these for my son to be safe on rollerblades, no complaints. The gel does great at shock absorbtion, the construction is sturdy especially considering the cheap price. This is a great deal if you want nice, basic, one size fits all protection for roller sports.

My child is 5 and they fit great. He really likes them and they do the job. He has had a few spills on his bike and razor. :)

I was worried that these pads might be too small for my seven year old, but they are very adjustable and look like they would fit kids much older and even smaller adults. The gel cushion seems like it will protect well.

These pads are great and durable...they have held up to many spills onto a gravel road and have protected my son very well. Good buy.

Biking, skating, kickboxing, deck cleaning..you name it, these pads can be worn to give your elbows and knees the protection they need at a price you can't beat. Delivery was prompt and all was in good order. Definitely recommended!

Well, you can't have your child riding around without any safety, so the Mongoose elbow and knee pads are defiantly needed. My kids use them and they help protected them from many of the bumps and scrapes that come with sports. They decrease all of the troubles and make sure your child doesn't get hurt. Play safe, that's my motto.

I am SO glad I chose these kneepads! The hard outer shell and shock-absorbing gel work better than I could have dreamed! I bought these for costuming purposes actually- I am building a costume that will require me to run around on my hands and knees.
I did a test run on some very hard ground, and I didn't feel a thing on my knees, not one single jolt! I have zero regrets buying these, they will serve me quite well. I reccommend these, they are very heavy-duty.
