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 fibre 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.

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. | |

Excellent sleeves! Expensive, but well worth it. The fit is spot on using the measurements in the size guide. They fit nicely under clothing and are a nice combination of flexibility and protection. | |

Brilliant, worth the extra to go with these. Soft but Really protective. My boys are teenagers and don’t have the biggest legs but went for size L/XL and say the size is perfect for them. Others in the past, different makes in size M were too tight. | |

It’s a comfortable fit with a large area of protection, completely brushed off falls that previously forced me to take a break (Or end the days session) previously. They are almost invisible under a pair of jeans, people didn’t really notice them unless I pointed out to them. One note is that I think at least as an inline skater you won’t be wearing shin pads in conjunction with these pads, given the extra surface area these ones cover below the knee | |

The fit is good and they look pretty cool. They also fit under baggier trousers or on top of skin tight ones. Not too rigid, so you can bend the knees and move freely. I feel more relaxed while on my skateboard when I wear them. I didn’t manage to fall yet while wearing, so unfortunately I am not able to review what they feel like upon impact, but I am sure it’s nicer than concrete! All in all I am happy with my purchase and invested in two more Ennui products. | |
