Sector 9 Skate S9 PRECISTION KNEE PADSome people prefer to have a tight fitting pad that has a softer, more flexible, padded area. It doesnt have a plastic cap on the joint, but it has a thicker, more form fitting main pad instead, which our riders tell us is really comfortable. Also, our Pression pads have smaller, streamlined, pads sewn into the sides which are great if youre not always in complete control when you fall.
