Triple 8 Exoskin Knee Pads

Triple 8 Exoskin Knee Pads

Low-profile Kevlar knee pads that flex with you.

ExoSkin Knee Pads are lightweight, contoured soft pads made to flex and protect. Triple Eight designed them for mountain bike and BMX riders, and they also work as a low-profile skate pad under pants or for snowboarding. Pick them when you want protection you can pedal, push or ride in all day.

High-density 8-link foam padding covers the kneecap, and six padded pockets protect the key impact areas on the sides of the knee. A Kevlar exterior resists abrasion and tearing. The perforated neoprene body breathes, the terry cloth lining soaks up sweat, and Velcro straps let you dial in a custom fit.

Size Guide

Straighten your leg and measure the circumference around the centre of the knee. If you are between sizes or unsure, Triple 8 strongly recommends sizing up to the larger size.

The Velcro straps fine-tune the fit, so the pad should sit snug without sliding when you bend the knee.

About Triple 8

Triple Eight was born on the streets of New York City and made its first helmet in 1996. It started as protection for people who actually ride, and that is still the whole point. Over the years the brand has built signature gear with some of the biggest names on a board, from Tony Hawk signature edition helmets to Deep Cover editions for Mike McGill and back-to-back Olympic gold medallist Keegan Palmer.

Below the helmet, Triple Eight is known for the Saver Series. The Wristsaver, Kneesaver and Elbowsaver are some of the most common pads at any skatepark or rink, and the range now runs from soft pull-on Coverts to derby-tested RD Wristsavers and the Bumsaver padded shorts. Collaborations with roller names like Barbie Patin and GRLSWIRL show how deep the brand runs in roller culture. Riders choose Triple Eight for simple, proven protection that fits well and keeps them skating.

FAQs

What size ExoSkin Knee Pads should I get?
Measure around the centre of your knee with the leg straight: S is 32–36cm, M 36–40cm and L 40–44cm. Triple 8 recommends sizing up if you are between sizes.

Hard cap or soft pad: which is the ExoSkin?
The ExoSkin is a soft pad with a Kevlar cover, not a hard cap. It is built to flex for pedalling and riding. If you want to knee slide on ramps, a hard cap pad is the better pick.

Can I wear ExoSkin Knee Pads under pants?
Yes. They are slim and contoured, and Triple 8 rates them as a low-profile under pant skate pad. They also fit under snow pants.

Are ExoSkins good for snowboarding?
Yes. Triple 8 lists them for snowboarding as well as MTB and BMX. They add padding for kneeling on hard snow and ice without bulk under your pants.

How do I wash ExoSkin pads?
Triple 8 does not publish washing instructions. Air them out after each ride, and if you hand wash, use cool water and mild soap, then dry away from direct heat.
