| JT¹s e-motion knee/shin guards are the most advanced protection available. The sliding rail sytem (patent pending) is the key to holding you in place. When you move, they move, keeping your knee and shin securely covered while your running, jumping or sliding. Constructed of our compression formed puncture-resistant Rhino-Hyde, coupled with non-slip inner pads to keep you secure, finish it off with elastic hook & loop closures and what you¹ve got is the only floating-knee protection of it¹s kind. |

| Strengths: |
The sliding rail system is good and keeps the pads in one place when you are running rather than on a kneel....
good comfortable pads that seem to be made tough
they dont grip when you slide (thats good) and they grip when you are on a kneel (which is good) i think it is because the surface is slick for sliding and then it has "treads" on the shin to grip when on them
cheaper than the redz pads
look pretty sweet |
|
| Weaknesses: |
im a bit worried about the plastic rail system...how it works is that one plate is attached to the other plate of padding by a plastic rail....if this rail were to break then the pad would split in 2...thats bad
cant wash them in the washer since the rails are plastic....my mom told me that plastic gets messed up in the washer...but the plastic is very thick and seems to be very resilient
feels a bit clumsy off the field, but when you get in a game you cant tell they r there.
the velcro is a bit less than i would expect, while it did pretty well i would have preferred if the velcro when into a loop like the redz padz |
|
| Conclusion: |
pretty good pads and they do their job well
if you want to wear knee/shin pads outside your pants you have pretty much three good choices (believe me i do a lot of research on items and their competitors b4 i buy)
1. JT pads
2. Raven pads
3. Redz pads
i found the ravens were below par so pretty much pick between choices 1 and 3 |

| Review: |
ok, i bought them after extensively reading reviews on how good they are.
okay, so i go down to my local proshop and pick one up for 55 bucks. not bad for paintball stufff...
i get home and put them to a test, i slide to almost everything and test the bending
capacity.
i am 5'8" and these pads were too big for me, the thing could fit my whole leg for
god sake, and i hated this because they only come in one size. so i sell it
to my cousin for the same price, he is 6'2" so they fit him perfectly.... now im waiting
for a new shipment of dyes to come in, because i dont want the extra long shin thingy...
okay, honest opinion:(my opinion because im short)
strengths:
-they protect
-they protect
-they protect
weaknesses:
-the straps cut into my leg so it hurts whenever i bend or slide.
well thats about it for the review.

| Conclusion: |
good if your over 6foot..... go ahead and buy em... |

|
| Strengths: |
Very solid product, really holds up against the rigors of the sport. Great for sliding. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
Too bulky, they really restrict movement. Velcro straps tend to deteriorate. |
|
| Review: |
These pads are good for Mid- to Back- players that don't have to hit the 50 on the break. The rail system is clever, but the rails are actually too short, thus restricting full range of motion. The velcro straps do tend to wear out after about 3 months, plan on replacing them. Great for sliding on both smooth and rough terrain. Slid just as far on concrete as I did on sand. The adjustable inner-pads help to take pressure off weak spots if you have them, but the entire pad seems to move around making the inner-pads useless. |
|
| Conclusion: |
This product does have it's strengths and weaknesses, but is better than both the Dye, and the Redz knee pads. I wouldn't take them over the Raven or '02 JT Skinz. |

| Review: |
I got these about a year ago and aside from my shocker these are my most important peice of gear I use. I have bad knees and i needed something to protect them (especially when I'm playin x-ball and i don't get a break for a couple of games) so I found these at a local pro shop and bout them just to see if maybe they could help me out. And after my first game I knew there were perfect for what i needed them for , there not cumbersome to move around in so i can still run fast (well i can still run) and they make sliding in to bunkers so much easier. These pads helped me move from playing Back to playing mid which is awesome. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Buy these they are worth the money. They will help keep you from being sore and it makes you fearless when it comes to sliding into bunkers or making some insane dives and slides. |

| Review: |
I got these pads back in june of 02, and they have been great every since. I knew I was getting more into the sport and when I played I would always get bruised, so I decided to get a pair of elbow and knee/shin pads (look for my other review about the dye elbow pads also great). And these are great, I dont really know what mateiral they are made out of but I love it! Whenever I slide on my knees I barely feel a thing, but if I get shot, the paint may bounce since its not a totally hard shell over the pads, great designing.
When they say one size fits all they really mean one size fits all, im 15 years old, 5'8" and 115 lbs, so im not the biggest guy, and these fit me great, But I have a friend who is 16, 5'9" and weighs about 215, and they still fit him great too, I would recomend these to anybody if your actually serious about the sport. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Best knee/shin pads out there, no others will provide as much protection as these and still offer the ability to slide so well. This is one of the only products I will ever get a 10, but I truely feel it deserves it. |

| Review: |
These knee/shin pads are great......after u break them in a little. They really help me when i slid on my knees or dive. Then bend when u bend your knees. After using these for a while now, i hardly relize they are there. They are just so comfy. They are very strong, but if you get shot there it breaks compared to if you didn't have them on. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Good set of pads that support and protect your knees and shins |

| Review: |
These are great. I got them and used them for a year before stopping paintball due to new job and relocation.
Fit well, all though the velcro elastic straps are kind of weak looking but never have broken yet (knock on wood).
Now I'm back in to paintball and pulled them out of storage after 3 years. Still work great and look fine, with little to no cleaning or maintenance.
I have taken many hits in them that bounced and allowed me to keep playing.
They have saved my knee caps a few times from rocks, stumps, and so forth in the woodsball fields.
Great for anyone who wants protection (from ground), and reflection of paint (poor enemy).
Would by again. 9 would like to see stronger elastic straps on velcro. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Great protection from field and paintballs alike. Would highly recommend. |

| Strengths: |
- Sturdy
- Good padding
- Rail system
- Velcro, making it adjustable
- Slides well |
|
| Weaknesses: |
- Need the right material underneath the pads
- Can move when you slide
|
|
| Review: |
They are great pads for any speedball player, especially front men. They let you slide a little farther than you would in regular pants and they protect your shins and your knees from rocks or hard ground. They also do not restrict you from running at your full speed because of the rail system. If you are into speedball and want to play hard while not having to worry about hurting yourself these are the pads for you. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I would not recommend these pads for woodsball players because they can become hot, but they are awsome for any mainly speedball player. I give this product a 9 because for my position is speedball they are the best leg padding system out there. |

| Strengths: |
These do a awsoem job at protecting your knees and shins. No need to worry about sliding into bunkers or where you put your knee on a wooded field. You can run and these things stay in place the entire game. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
You have to tighten the top alot or else the will slide down. I tried sliding into a bunker when I first got em and they slid down, and I went flying onto my chest... Ouch. Banged my knee up to.
Just be sure to put these on tight, and they wont budge. They are realy great when you put em on right |
|
| Conclusion: |
Great pads. I havnt used any other decent pads before, so i dont know if anythign else is better or worse. They do their job, and seem to do it well though. |
