Product Information
Full details
The Asics Basic Kneepad is designed for volleyball players of all skill levels who need reliable protection against hard court impacts during matches and training sessions. Its primary benefit is the combination of impact-absorbing padding and a lightweight, flexible fit that allows for unrestricted movement during dives and slides. One caveat is that the basic design prioritizes function over high-tech moisture-wicking fabrics, meaning they may retain heat during long, intense sets.

FAQs
Can these be used for sports other than volleyball?
While designed for volleyball, they can provide basic knee protection for other indoor sports involving floor contact, such as dodgeball or dance.
How do I determine the correct size?
Measure the circumference of your leg directly around the knee joint and compare it to the manufacturer's sizing chart for the best fit.
Are these kneepads machine washable?
Hand washing is highly recommended to preserve the shape and impact-absorbing qualities of the foam.
Will these inhibit my ability to run or jump?
No, the design is low-profile and flexible, specifically intended to move with your joint rather than restrict it.
How often should I replace my kneepads?
If you notice the foam thinning out or the fabric losing its elasticity and sliding down frequently, it is time for a replacement.
Troubleshooting
Kneepads sliding down during play
Ensure the skin is clean and free of lotion or sweat before putting them on, or check if the elastic has lost its tension due to long-term wear.
Material feels rough against the skin
Turn the kneepad inside out and check for debris, or consider wearing a thin base layer or compression sleeve underneath.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Reliable impact protection for knee joints
- Easy to put on and remove
- Lightweight construction for mobility
- Durable enough for regular league play
Cons
- Simple fabric design lacks advanced moisture-wicking technology
- May feel warm during extended matches
- Padding profile is standard and not intended for extreme heavy-duty use
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance, slide the kneepad onto your leg so that the thickest part of the padding is directly over the center of the knee. Ensure the fabric is pulled taut but is not cutting off circulation. For care, it is recommended to hand wash the pads in cold water with mild detergent after heavy use to maintain the elasticity of the fabric and the integrity of the foam. Always air dry your kneepads; avoid using a tumble dryer as the high heat can damage the foam cushioning and elastic fibers. Store them in a cool, dry place to prevent odor buildup between games.
