Impala Youth Protective Pad Set
Complete Protection for Young Skaters
The Impala Youth Protective Pad Set gives young skaters everything they need to ride confidently. The tri-pack covers the three most common impact zones: knees, elbows, and wrists. Whether your kid is learning to skate, hitting the inline track, or rolling at the rink, this set has them covered from the first push to the last lap.
Impala launched in Melbourne, Australia in 2017 with a team driven by a passion for skating and a nostalgic nod to the 70s, 80s, and 90s skate scene. That retro spirit comes through in the bold styling while the construction stays firmly focused on safety and fit for younger riders.
What Is Included
- One pair of knee pads
- One pair of elbow pads
- One pair of wrist guards
Construction and Protection
Each piece in the set shares the same protection-first build. Large plastic protective caps on the knee and elbow pads absorb and distribute impact force, reducing the chance of scrapes and bruises when kids go down. The wrist guards add a rigid palm support to guard against the instinctive outstretched-hand fall.
The backing on every pad uses a Lycra-style fabric that moves with the body rather than restricting it. This flexibility means kids can bend, crouch, and push without the pad shifting out of place or cutting off circulation.
Fit and Security
Getting protective gear to stay put on active kids is the real challenge. The Impala Youth Pad Set uses a dual-approach: a sock-style sleeve that slips on over the limb to anchor the pad in the correct position, combined with strong velcro straps that cinch the fit and prevent rotation. The result is a pad that stays centered on the joint through jumps, stops, and falls, not one that migrates down the shin after five minutes of skating.
Versatile Use
Designed primarily for skateboarding, the set works equally well for inline skating and roller skating. If your young skater switches between disciplines, this one set handles all three. Pick it up at Island Water Sports in store or online.
