Subject:	gaskets and small pads?
Content:	: HI Claudine, : : Pro Designed are awesome pads and the owner is a really cool guy, but I would see if you have any skate shops or sporting good stores in your area so that you can try them on. There are so really great pads out there and a lot of the new ones have adjustable straps. As for knee gaskets, I love my scabs. As for protecting against a broken bone, I broke my elbow with huge Pro Designed pads, but it was a fluke. : I'm still debating between the 2. I guess it will come back to which ones will fit the best. Just I've heard stuff bout PD knees that they are slippery, fall off, crack, etc. So that has me hesitant. I've only heard great things about scabs! The only store here is Sports Authority. I've tried on fat boys and protecs from others size S. The fat boys were really long and wide so my knees knocked but fit. Protecs a touch large. I was told 187 and TSGs will be too big. Thats all I know! I think I will do the gaskets. May be hot. Hopefully they wont restrict movement. But I dont want to hit my knee in a funny way then be messed up for life. Plus they will help the pads to fit me better!

claudine: gaskets and small pads? (6. Sep. 2007 20:49)
	I've been considering pro-designed pads (they could make me a Q pad which isnt in existance anymore but those would work for me) and scabs. I think I've sided with scabs unless I find they are too big. I was told they should fit! I'm very small! And now I'm considering gaskets too. Any opinions on these? I love to skate but dont want to ever have to think about surgery or anything. I want mega elbows to slide on just cause landing on my hand is jamming my shoulder and arm. I have XS in s-ones but they are actually too big and too thin for vert. Any advice here? Any size charts for scabs? The PD minis would fit but thats only 1/2 inch padding. The other ones would take my entire arm and his pads are expensive.
