what riding is it for Stace? those soft knee pads might not be great at the track because of stones
I use raceface freeride knee/shin guards and Azonic hard elbow/forearm pads

I use WeThePeople knee and elbow pads.  But the grief I had trying to get hold of them.  No one seemed to stock them, so seemed to be waiting forever for them to get delivered.  Can't remember where I got the knee pads from.  Might have been Alans.  The elbows came from Custom Riders.

The shin guards I use are prototype Proper ones.  But I don't think they are gonna produce them.

Try not to let fashion dictate your decision.....  My advice would to buy em big, buy em strong....

And wear them of course   :D

Don't bother with hard cup pads if you want to wear them under your jeans, and obviously the opposite is true of soft pads.  Be sure to get quality elbow pads, cheaper ones can be very uncomfortable. These are often overlooked as not as important, but they can be lifesavers    ;)

Loads to choose from Stace, try some on if you can, to see how they feel.

661s for me, the Veggie Knee Wraps and Chicken Wing Elbows, they're soft pads and are quite flexible.

So long as you wear something Stace, it's better than nowt.
