knee guards

Leg joint armor

Knee guards are protective pads worn over the knees to cushion against impact or abrasion.

Athletes wear them in sports like volleyball, skateboarding, and rollerblading.

Construction workers and gardeners use them when kneeling on hard surfaces.

Also called knee pads.

Make sure to strap on your knee guards before you start skating.
