THE GOOD STUFF
Impact protection D3O® padding
SuperFabric® cut & abrasion resistant knee pad cover
Optimal opening at the back for pole tricks
Sleek and minimal profile
“After never being able to find knee pads that fit my legs (without losing circulation) and were functional at the same time, I developed bursitis in my knees.
I bought these and noticed not only an easing of pain but an increase of confidence in tricks and choreography knowing I’m not doing damage. I love these and thank you for having an accessible size range.”

If you are in between We have tailored a guide below based on feedback gather since the launch of the black knee pads back in March 2023 however, the final decision will come down to your personal preference and your usage requirements.
Choose the SMALLER size if:
- You don’t mind a tight fit when it comes to protective gear, clothing, pole wear etc
- You are training kips, drops and flips on a regular basis and you do not want to risk the knee pad slipping out of place at the wrong time
- You generally use the knee pad for hard impact training
Choose the LARGER size if:
- You only do choreography classes, floorwork classes or heels dance classes that don’t require high impact tricks
- You do not like the feeling of being ‘constricted’ or wearing tight fitted items
- If your calf muscle is larger than average
- The knee pad should feel firm and secure when sliding along the floor
- They may feel very ‘tight’ at first however, you will need to ‘break’ into them as they will mould to the shape of your knee with at least 10-15 wears
- In a standing position, bend your knees until they touch the ground (and the back of your thigh touches your calf) a few times. If you feel that your blood circulation is cutting off or if it is severely uncomfortable, please size up.
- IMPORTANT: Remove the orange pieces of padding before washing
- We strongly recommend ‘AIRING OUT*’ your knee pads after EVERY use. Sweat and moisture buildup can cause the padding to snap/break down/lose it’s impact protection qualities. (Airing out means removing the padding from the sweaty sleeve after classes)
- Only if odours persist, place in direct sunlight for no more than 1 hour or sprinkle a little baking soda on the surface and leave for 2-3 hours. (As with any other sporting good, overexposure to direct sunlight can cause the product to break down and please be mindful if you have skin sensitivity with baking soda).
- Avoid contact with any liquids with padding to preserve the impact absorbing technology
- The sleeve must be washed on a COLD cycle in a wash bag. This prevents the silicone strip from breaking down and will minimise contact with other abrasive items in the wash such as zips.
- Line dry in shade
- Do not place the padding or knee pad sleeve in the dryer
