How to choose the right size?

How to choose the right type of volleyball knee pads? Now you choose your size. You will want them comfortable but not slipping down your calf when playing.

Knee pads must not compress your knees and impede blood circulation in legs, but should still be close-fitting enough. Even when you have them on you should be able to flex your knee fully.

You usually forget you're wearing them after you've warmed up. Please note that some knee pads have a system (a silicone strip) to improve the grip on the skin and keep them in position.
