You should ask Rider, he is an expert in kneepads that can hold up in an alley.

I use the volleyball knee pads that you can get at Sports Authority. Give them a try, it works wonders. I have great confidence now in having my knees protected when I fall forward. The fit is flexible, so for me, it's fine to wear them w/out issues.

Protec makes a pad that is a half inch thick and very soft and flexy. I have still sustained slight bruising but it has saved me some injuries.

I got the Sessions d30 thermals also... works like a charm, keeps you warm, has knee pads, hip pads, and a tailbone pad. Got it from this site while it was on sale.

I got the RED knee/rail guards. Knee guards are good - hard shell and they strap on (not slip ons). Once you start riding, you don't really notice them much, unless its a warm day, then they can get pretty hot. They don't inhibit movement at all. The rail guards are a bit sketchy - don't really fit nicely w/ the knee guards, and they tend to shift.

I just picked up a pair of 187 knee pads for learning longboarding. The folks at the longboarding forum were gaga over them, and I can attest to their quality. Did a hard knee drop to asphalt and didn't feel a thing.

I could use some that don't put pressure on all the tendons in the back of your leg.

do you need knee pads and shin pads if you're just riding on slopes and doing small jumps?
Or are they just for rails and pipes |

Knee pads are a great investment. Got mine from the nike store and they are wonderful. No more bruised knees. Also thinking about getting some hip pads as well. I dont wanna break my tail bone!

Knee pads and wrist guards are good investments especially on icey days. You don't really fall on your elbows so you don't need elbow pads.

Maybe wrist or tail bone pads but unless you gunna be taking huge halfpipe slams the worst your gunna get are brused knees. Anyways it teaches you not to fall over again. Quit whinning and go board.

Don't know that I've seen knee pads on Sierra actually, but doesn't look like they have any right now anyway. I also like using volleyball knee pads (kind of funny since I never wore knee pads when actually playing volleyball competitively all those years, but got some for snowboarding), and have an old pair of pants that actually have built-in/removable knee pads. The pads in the pants are pretty thin and don't offer that much cushioning on a fall, but they're great as padding/insulation if you're kneeling in the snow a lot. I don't know how easy/difficult it is to find pants with the built-in knee pads these days, but I have a friend that sewed knee pad pockets into a pair of pants and cut up some football pads to slip into them.

I use knee pads, they are truly a necessity. I feel that that reason people think they fall more is not cause of the knee pads directly, rather because u feel more confident and safe as you go down the mountain I find myself trying harder things and pushing myself more than I would without pads. For this reason I fall more as I am progressing but the knee pads do not cause this at all, in fact they only help. I have the Triple Eight Undercover Knee pads, and to make then more comfortable I cut off the straps and just let the knee pad and my thermals hold them tight, works like a charm!!

Brilliant idea about putting them under thermals. I'm nursing an enormous knee bruise from falling on concrete-like snow last weekend and need some sort of gear to help protect my knee this weekend. I'm going to try under my thermals so hopefully I can still move easily.
