Description
Although the Shock Sleeve Pro Knee Gasket from Ennui doesn't provide the same level of safeguarding as a thickly padded, hard-cap protector, it compensates with the freedom of movement it affords during your action sport.
A stretchable knitted cotton sleeve is internally outfitted with silicone strips to prevent slippage, ensuring a snug fit and that the pads remain in position at all times. These pads are crafted from a uniquely developed material - SPC - which is a collaborative creation by the development team at Ennui/Powerslide and the experts at MyFit, known for crafting skate liners for Powerslide.
This material not only absorbs the impact but also aids in dispersing it through the construction, ensuring that the stress on your joints is minimised as much as possible. The Pro version boasts an abrasion-resistant Kevlar coating, providing more flexible comfort and protection than the non-pro version and permitting even greater freedom of movement.
An evident advantage of this soft-shell protection is both the lightweight nature and the ability to be worn beneath your regular clothing, allowing you to remain fashionable while being completely protected at the same time.
In addition to impact protection, the pro version also guards against slides with its high abrasion-resistant Aramid fibre cover. It's an astute choice for downhill longboarders and speed skaters. The pro model is also slightly lighter than the non-pro version, weighing almost nothing.

| "Quite simply the last knee gasket you’ll ever want to buy. They’re discrete, supportive, and most importantly, a pleasure to fall in - to an extent that you’ll almost wish you were worse at skating." | |

| "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." | |
