knee guard

Joint armor piece

A knee guard is a piece of protective equipment worn over the knee to shield it from impact, abrasion, or injury.

Knee guards are common in sports like skateboarding, volleyball, and motorcycle riding, as well as in occupations that involve kneeling on hard surfaces.

They typically feature padding or a hard shell and are secured with straps or elastic.

Make sure your knee guards fit snugly before you start skating.
