Everything you need, nothing you don't
The Pro-Tec Street Elbow Pads are built around 2-ply anatomical EVA foam, articulated elbow protection, and a stretch lycra interior, giving skaters real elbow protection without extra bulk.
What the pads are built from
- Hard shell protection, tough molded plastic protecting the elbow
- Foam protection about 1 inch thick, supporting the hard cap and molded to cradle the elbow
- Additional padding of about 1.5 inches above and below the elbow for tendon and ligament protection
- Strong, stretchy neoprene inner sleeve with a tough polyester outer
- Two adjustable 1.5 inch wide elastic straps with Velcro for a secure fit
Who these pads are for
These are unisex elbow pads for any skater who wants a hard shell cap over real foam padding rather than a soft, low-profile pad. The molded hard cap and generously sized foam make them suited to street and park skating where elbow impacts are a real risk, and the neoprene sleeve keeps them comfortable through a full session in South Florida heat.
Fitting and caring for the pads
Slide the neoprene sleeve up over the elbow so the hard cap centers directly over the joint, then tighten both 1.5 inch Velcro straps until the pad stays put without cutting off circulation. Rinse the neoprene and polyester after sweaty or wet sessions and let the pads air dry fully before storing, since trapped moisture can break down the foam and straps faster.
Pro-Tec's heritage
Founded in 1973, Pro-Tec is the original skateboard protective gear brand, and its elbow pad construction reflects over 40 years of building protective gear that skaters actually keep wearing rather than leaving in a bag after one session.
Why shop it at Island Water Sports
Island Water Sports has outfitted South Florida skaters since 1978, and we stock Pro-Tec Street Elbow Pads because the hard cap and foam combination is exactly what our local skate community asks for. Elbow protection is easy to skip until the moment it matters, and a set built around a molded hard shell over real foam, rather than a thin fabric sleeve, is the difference between walking away from a fall and needing a trip to urgent care.
