Inline skating helmets and pads

166 products

Wrists, knees, elbows and head — that’s the order in which they take knocks when you’re learning to skate. Pad size is chosen by circumference, helmet size by head circumference.

What to buy first

If you’re building up your protection in stages, start with wrist guards and a helmet. When you fall you instinctively put your hands out, and the hard splint in the guard takes the impact and lets your hand slide along the tarmac. A helmet protects against a rarer but the most serious injury.

The simplest option is a set of three pairs — wrists, elbows, knees — because you size it using one circumference chart.

How to choose the size

ItemWhat to measure
Knee padsknee circumference at the middle of the kneecap
Elbow padselbow circumference with the arm slightly bent
Wrist guardshand or wrist circumference, according to the manufacturer’s chart
Helmethead circumference above the eyebrows

If you’re between two pad sizes, choose the smaller: pads should fit snugly and not rotate on the joint. A helmet should sit securely even before you fasten the strap. Measuring and fitting in detail: how to choose pads and a helmet.

Protection for kids

Size children’s gear by circumference, not age, and don’t buy it to grow into — a loose pad slips off the moment you fall. Junior sets start from size XXXS. See pads and helmets separately.

Frequently asked questions

Which inline skating pads matter most?

Wrist guards. When you fall on skates you most often put your hands out; knees and a helmet come right after.

Do adults need pads for inline skating?

Yes, especially while learning and after a long break. An adult falls from a greater height and with more weight than a child.

Is a cycling helmet suitable for inline skating?

Yes, if it fits well and covers the back of the head. Skate-style urban helmets are designed from the outset for inline skates, scooters, skateboards and bikes.

How do I choose pad size?

Measure the circumference of your knee and elbow with a tape measure and compare it with the manufacturer’s chart on the product page. Height and age are not a good guide.

When should I replace a helmet?

After every hard impact, even if you can’t see any cracks. The foam in a helmet deforms permanently and won’t absorb a second impact the same way.
