Real Protection, Impala Style
The Impala Protective Pad Set is a custom-designed three-piece protective kit built for skaters who refuse to trade safety for style. Each set includes a pair of knee pads, elbow pads, and wrist guards, giving you full coverage at the three joints most at risk when skating.
Impala launched in Melbourne, Australia in 2017 and is driven by a team of skaters with a genuine passion for the sport. The brand draws on a nostalgic throwback to the 70s, 80s, and 90s skate era, and that aesthetic carries through every piece of gear they make.
What Is Included
Each Impala Protective Pad Set ships as a complete kit:
- One pair of knee pads
- One pair of elbow pads
- One pair of wrist guards
All three pieces are sold together as a single set, so you get head-to-toe joint coverage out of the box.
Construction and Materials
Impala skate pads are built around a hard-cap shell on the knee and elbow pads that absorbs and deflects impact before it reaches the joint. The shells are secured by riveted eyelets visible around the perimeter, adding structural integrity at the attachment points. Hook-and-loop closures on each pad let you dial in the fit quickly and keep the pad securely positioned through movement.
The Lycra backing on the interior sits against the skin for comfort and breathability, reducing the heat buildup that makes lesser pads unbearable after a short session. Wrist guards feature a structured wrap design with layered hook-and-loop straps across the back of the hand and wrist for support without bulk.
The Impala logo patch is prominently sewn onto each piece, giving the set a cohesive, branded look that pairs directly with Impala Quad Rollerskates.
Who These Pads Are Designed For
Impala designed this protective gear specifically for youth and younger riders learning to skate, though the set is marketed as unisex and appropriate across experience levels. The fit is intended to stay secure on smaller frames without sliding or bunching, so the skater can focus on technique rather than gear adjustment.
These pads pair naturally with Impala Quad Rollerskates and work equally well for skateboarding, inline skating, and general ramp or park skating. If you are buying a first skate setup for a younger rider, this three-piece kit closes the gap between the skates and full protective coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the Impala Protective Pad Set include?
- The set includes three pairs of pads: knee pads, elbow pads, and wrist guards. All six pieces are sold together as one kit so you get complete joint protection from a single purchase.
- Are Impala knee pads good for kids?
- Yes. Impala designed this protective pad set for youth skaters and younger riders. The Lycra-backed fit is intended to stay secure on smaller frames without sliding during skating, and the hard-cap shells provide real impact protection at the knee and elbow.
- Do Impala skate pads work with Impala Quad Rollerskates?
- Yes. Impala specifically designed this protective gear to pair with their Quad Rollerskates, so the colorways and branding coordinate. They also work for skateboarding, inline skating, and park or ramp skating.
- How do I put on and adjust Impala knee pads?
- Slide the pad onto the knee or elbow and secure the hook-and-loop straps until the pad sits firmly without restricting circulation. The wrist guards wrap around the back of the hand and wrist with layered straps. Adjust each piece until it does not shift when you bend the joint.
- How do I clean Impala skate protective gear?
- Spot-clean the Lycra backing and outer fabric with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as heat can degrade the materials and adhesive in the hook-and-loop closures.
- Where can I buy Impala protective gear near me?
- Island Water Sports carries Impala protective pad sets in store and online. Our South Florida skate shop stocks the full Impala lineup. You can also order online at any time and reach the store team at 954-427-4929.
- What is the difference between Impala knee and elbow pads in this set?
- Both use the same hard-cap shell and Lycra-backed construction, but the knee pads feature a larger round cap sized for the knee joint while the elbow pads use a smaller cap shaped for the elbow. The wrist guards use a wrap design rather than a hard cap, providing support and impact absorption across the wrist.
