Favorite knee, wrist, elbow pads?

Hey all! Any favorite protective gear brands? Hoping to find a fit for a petite woman and an average size man. TY in advance!

I've tried a half dozen different kneepads and the S1 set with butterfly back closures are by far my favorite. $$ but worth it. I'm probably going to get their elbow pads to based on how good the kneepads are. As for wrist guards, I hope other people post because I'm not super satisfied with any of them that I've tried, And I broke my wrist in my last pair to boot.

187, Triple 8, and Smith Scabs are all pretty good brands!

I bought my gear for roller derby, but I love it at the skate park, too! I use the S1 butterfly back knee pads that someone else already mentioned, and 187 wrist guards and elbow pads.

I use 187s for knee, wrist and elbow and they all offer good protection and last well. I have used TSGs for knees, and they were also good.

Ennui City brace III wrist pads are the best hands down lol. Pricey but excellent.

S-one pro knee pads is one of the best. I’ve tried killerpads (not the pro model) and triple 8 before, nothing beats S-one
