These knee pads are second only to the Dye knee pads, but are like half the price. Dye knee pads are very comfortable, but these NXE knee pads are very durable and are also very comfortable once you break them in. They were real stiff first couple times playing, but are now broken in and feel absolutly great. Straps are good and they keep the pads from falling down.
All knee pads seem to run a size small so get the size above your normal size as I did because they are easy to tighten down and they will keep falling down if they are too small. I highly recommend these NXE knee pads to anyone that doesn't have the money for Dye knee pads and still wants a great pair of knee pads.

Ripped

I bought these pads because NXE is a brand that I have known to make quality and durable products. Using these pads the first day, I had to constantly pull them back up onto my knee because they kept slipping down. This was annoying because I also had to keep taking my pants off to do it. (Luckily I had basketball shorts underneath, lol.) About 3 hours into playing the pads ripped while I was pulling them up. They ripped right along the stitching, where the heavey nylon pad meets the neoprene. The stitching acted like a perforated seam for the rip to spread quickly. Other than these pads, NXE has never let me down. I'd go with other pads, in fact I did. Bought some 2011 PE's and they work great.

Im not sure if I just got a size too big, or what... But for some reason these pads worked amazing, but after pretty much every game I have to pull them back up my leg. It kinda ticks me off, but they still work great.

knee pads

these are the best knee pads i have used so far. they are very durable and have good padding. i like the straps and they keep the pads from falling down but they do leave the back of my legs a little sore for the next day or two. still that is better than sore knee caps. i have also used empire grounder pounder and ronin leg shields and these are better than both. i would highly recommend.
