The "Upskill Classic" climbing kneepad has been designed to be snug fitting, but not tight or restrictive. The active area above the knee is double layered (to 5mm) to provide comfort during kneebars, skin protection, and longer pad life. The cuffs are finished in hardwearing, stretch fabric, which means the pad will stay tighter, longer and the cuffs won't begin to sag. This is the perfect "first kneebar pad".

No rubber?
Some people are surprised that this pad is 100% neoprene and doesn't have a rubber pad stuck on it. You may be surprised to learn that on many rock types (including limestone) neoprene is incredibly grippy. For example, most Mt Coolum locals still prefer straight neoprene over rubber. Not having rubber on it keeps this pad comfortable, flexible and cost-effective.

Fit & sizing
This pad has high elasticity and will fit most people. If in doubt, measure the circumference of your leg 20cm above the top of the kneecap. If it is between 40 and 60cm, this will fit. Pad placement is just below the kneecap, right up the thigh.

If you require an "above the knee" pad that offers more adjustability & zero slip, check out the Upskill Friction Pad.

Numbers
The price is for a single pad. Some people just want one, most want two, and some like to mix and match pad styles, buying one of each. Enter the number of pads you would like in the shopping cart.
