knee pads
Skater's leg guards
Knee pads are protective cushions worn over the knees to prevent injury or discomfort.
Workers who kneel frequently—roofers, tile setters, gardeners—wear them to protect against hard surfaces.
Athletes wear them in sports like volleyball, skateboarding, and basketball.
