REKD Protection
Product Description
REKD Energy Slim Impact Knee Gaskets - Black, Large Size (Fits 36cm - 48cm Upper Knee Circumference)
Maintain complete pedaling flow and maximum lower-body agility without sacrificing essential safety with the REKD Energy Knee Gaskets. Engineered specifically for street, park, and trail riders who value low-profile protection, comfort, and ultimate freedom of movement, these slimline gaskets deliver dependable impact defense that is perfect for all-day sessions. Whether you are charging technical singletrack trails, cruising urban street lines, or logging hours at the skatepark, these gaskets are designed to fit discreetly under your clothes, eliminating the bulk and restrictive feel of traditional hardshell pads.
The technical core of this gasket centers on advanced REKD Energy Impact Foam Technology. In its standard state, this formulated non-Newtonian protective padding is completely soft and flexible, contouring naturally around your patella to allow a completely unrestricted range of motion. Upon a sudden ground collision or sharp pedal bite, the hybrid molecules instantly lock together into a rigid structure, reducing transmitted impact forces by up to 75% compared to standard high-density foam pads. This smart molecular defense shields your joints from severe shock and bruising before returning to its soft, pliable form.
Built with extended comfort in mind, the gasket is built from a high-grade breathable soft-feel Lycra sleeve that applies targeted, anti-fatigue compression around the joint. To prevent heat build-up and sweating behind the leg during heavy pedaling or high-intensity pump tracks, a specialized comfort mesh material panel is integrated on the rear of the sleeve. To guarantee the armor stays securely locked over your kneecap during high-velocity whips, deep compressions, or slide-outs, the hems feature elasticated double-stitching paired with integrated anti-slip silicone and rubber grippers that firmly grab the skin or base layers to prevent slipping. When the day's session is done, maintenance is simple as the entire pair is completely **machine-washable**.
Sold as a complete matching pair in a professional matte Black colorway, these low-profile sleeves are finished with clean REKD branding accents. Offering a second-skin feel that lets you focus entirely on your line choice, they are a vital asset for any action sports athlete's protection kit. Refer to the specific sizing metrics below to confirm your perfect, slip-free leg placement.
