Description
The Shock Sleeve Pro Knee Gasket by Ennui may not provide the same extent of protection as a hard-capped, thickly padded protector, but it offers superb freedom of movement for all your action sports activities.
This design incorporates a stretchable knitted cotton sleeve with internal silicone strips to prevent slipping, ensuring a snug fit that keeps the pads securely in position. These pads utilize an innovative material known as SPC, developed by the collaborative efforts of Ennui/Powerslide's team and the creators at MyFit, renowned for producing skate liners for Powerslide.
SPC efficiently absorbs impacts and disperses the force across the construction, significantly reducing joint impact. The Pro variant includes an abrasion-resistant Kevlar coating, offering greater flexibility, comfort, and protection compared to the non-pro version, enabling even more freedom of movement.
The soft-shell design offers distinct advantages, including lightweight protection that can be discreetly worn beneath everyday clothing, allowing for both style and complete protection.
Beyond impact protection, the pro version also defends against slides, thanks to its high abrasion-resistant Aramid fibre cover. It is a savvy choice for downhill longboarders and speed skaters. Additionally, the pro model is marginally lighter than the non-pro version, virtually weightless.

"These knees pads are Great and can take a licking! They fit under my pants and restrict my movement very little." | |

"I love these, the definitely have helped save my knees, I *probably* could've gotten a small instead of a medium because they are a little looser than I think they should be, but I love wearing them under my pants and feel secure with them on. I took a big fall with them down a big bowl, I had a freshly healed scar on my knee and the friction ripped off the new skin. I will wear big knee pads with plastic covers in vert and big bowls as I'm learning, but hey they did save my knee caps." | |

"These are the best pads if you want stealthy flexible pads without a cup. The high tech fabric is kind of slippery so you slide when you fall on them and ergonomically they have a better fit than any other brand. I ordered and tried on about $500 worth of pads ---all different brands to try on. Of all those pads the Ennui Shock Sleeve Pro Knee Gasket and Elbow Gasket were the ones I kept." | |

"I am a man who is 69 years old & never did any board sports, but am now buying a Onewheel XR & like any wheeled device there’s always the chance of falling. I really needed high quality elbow & knee pads. I unhesitatingly chose SKATEPRO because I saw a short video where two men described the Ennui knee & elbow pads and their description of the quality materials impressed me. I love the fact the Ennui material has Kevlar that saved my knee from injury, AND allowed me to slide away from danger. The Ennui knee pads ( Gaskets) have a wider protective area on the sides of the knee that is far SUPERIOR than any other brand in any country in the world! ENNUI Shock Sleeve Pro Knee Gaskets AND the Shock Sleeve Pro Elbow Gaskets fit perfectly snug, look great and the unique material that instantaneously becomes hard at the first micro-second upon impact to a hard surface is freakin AWESOME because it saved my hide from injury!" | |

"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." | |

"Very comfortable" | |

"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." | |
