The McDavid Sport Knee Pads are lightweight protective knee pads designed for athletes who need added cushioning and impact protection during sport and training. They use a contoured design to sit closely around the knee while allowing freedom of movement, making them a practical option for sports where players regularly make contact with the ground.
The protective padding helps cushion the knee when landing, diving or making contact with hard surfaces. The close-fitting design is intended to keep the pads positioned around the knee while you move, rather than relying on a bulky external brace.
The McDavid Sport Knee Pads are suited to active use where knee protection is important but unrestricted movement is still needed. They can be worn as part of your regular sporting kit and are particularly relevant for sports involving repeated contact with the floor or ground.

PennyI had a pretty serious knee injury. I am getting this to help me with my recovery, also for protection if I have to kneel on the floor. Have tried many different type of knee pads , from farming to gardening, expensive or cheap, but this is by far the best. Not slipping down, good size of padding. I ended up getting 2 pairs , one for spare.(5.00)Published Monday, 16 October 2023
