What brand of knee pads would you suggest?

Question

i play indoor volleyball. my knee pads get destroyed in like 2 weeks everytime i get a new pair. also if anyone has any tips on how to keep them white,plz tell me cuz no matter how many times i wash mine they wont stay white

Answer 1

If you need white kneepads for your team games, buy some Mizuno vs-1 or LR-6 for that. They are really comfy and don't rip. But for practices, consider a black kneepad, such as nike dri-fit. They are smaller and less bulky, but yet also don't rip. Both my game Mizunos and practice Nikes have lasted me through my 4 month school season and so far 5 months of club season. That way, your kneepads are black and look clean for practices, and you have nice, white ones for games. To get any stains/marks out, my mom uses either Tide To Go for minor ones or this product that you can order online called Gonzo for really bad marks. Hope this helps! Good luck :)

These are the links for the kneepads:

Answer 2

Asics work for me, plus they are really easy to wash and that usually keeps them white. Hope i helped :)

Answer 3

if you have trouble keeping them white, maybe get a different color.

or maybe the floors you play on are filthy- my school is like that-get someone to sweep the floor.

personally i use mizuno vs-1 most of the time.

but sometimes i also use nike dri fit/skinny fit in practice.

if your kneepads arent holding up however, that may mean you are diving all wrong, you dont want to be falling or sliding on you kneepads-they're just there in case you accidentally do.

Answer 4

I have dry-fit and im the libero so i dive a lot and they still are doing me good. they only have one small tear. my knee pads are also wash able too because once we were warming up outside and i got a bunch of grass stains on them and they still got washed off. i totally recommend dry-fit!

Answer 5

I have been using asics, and i still have my same pair! They have lasted for about two years, and they have special stuff on the inside to keep them on your knees, so they wont slip, and you wont get burned.

But sorry, i can't help about the color, but maybe try washing them.

Answer 6

I personally use Mizuno VS-1 and Nike Dri-Fit, and I love both. My boy has two pairs of Nike Dri-Fit, and he plays three-five times a week but never ruined any of his kneepads.

I wash them in regular washer with non-bleach detergent, and they have been white enough to me. I guess your problem comes from how you wash them, but not how your gym condition is. If your washer is "too powerful" wrap your kneepad in a t-shirt before throwing into the washer.

Answer 7

people have told me that asics are pretty good for kneepads. i use the nike dri-fit ones, they're not bad either.

as for keeping them white, trying bleaching them.

Answer 8

Why not try black knee pads if you like clean ones?

I'm a member of the American Volleyball Coaches Association and every single newsletter, magazine, etc. they send out includes an ad for Patella Digs:

Patella Digs are good knee pads as they also help you protect your patella tendon from impact. The best knee pad you can buy for Volleyball

Edit: Wondering why someone gave my good natured advice a thumbs down. I might think it was because I had a link to an company website, but it's not an ad, but a link to site where the asker could do some more research on their own. Oh well.

Answer 9

well i use nike for indooR AND OUTDOOR VOLLEYBALL

WAT I DO IS  BLEACH THEM EVERY TIME I WASH THEM

BUT I DONT PUT THEM IN THE DRYER BECAUSE THEY  SHRINK     I JUST LET THEM HANG AND THEY DRY THAT WAY

Answer 10
