187 Killer Pads

The Pro Knee Pad is larger with roughly 1½ inch (38 mm) of dense foam for maximum impact protection, while the Pro Derby knee pad is more compact with a flex hinge and about 1¼ inch (32 mm) foam to allow better mobility. Derby pads suit roller derby skaters who need to run and stop quickly; Pro Knee pads suit park and vert riders seeking maximum cushioning.

Fly Knee Pads are lower‑profile pads aimed at beginners and recreational skaters, using 7/8‑inch (22 mm) dense foam and fixed caps, whereas Pro Knee pads have thicker foam, a larger cap and removable/replaceable caps for advanced skateboarding. If you’re just learning or want lightweight protection, Fly pads are ideal; for aggressive skateparks, choose Pro Knee.

The standard 187 Killer wrist guard uses a full‑length, open‑back design with three straps for overall wrist support. The Derby wrist guard is shorter with a slider cap that encourages a controlled slide during falls; it’s popular with roller derby skaters.

Measure the circumference around your knee or elbow to match the brand’s sizing chart. Pads may feel tight when new but will break‑in after a few sessions. If they’re too tight or loose, 187 Killer Pads offers exchanges and returns; junior sizes are available for children 4‑8 years old.

Yes. All 187 Killer products come with a six‑month warranty against manufacturing defects. They’re designed to be durable, and replacement caps are available to extend the life of knee pads.

The brand is backed by pro riders such as Tony Hawk and is known for advanced protection systems that maximise strength while reducing weight. Replaceable recaps and durable construction mean you get long‑lasting pads that protect without restricting movement.
