any comments why these would be better than plastic shell pads for park snowboarding? would it be strong enough to protect if you hit a rail or hard boxes..?

What I like about these compared to hard pads is the flexibility. You don't feel restricted at all and barely ever have to adjust them. I've hit my knees pretty hard with these and the most I feel is a quick pain that last about 2 seconds. I can't talk for people who do huge tricks and have gravity adding extra pressure, but for someone who can do 360s and grabs and simple rail moves, these go above and beyond the call of duty.

Hello! These are for children. These did not work for us though. They are too bulky for my girls and the velcro straps are uncomfortable. Plus ours fell apart after wearing only a handful of times. We are going with ASICS Unisex Volleyball Slider Knee Pads - Junior Youth, Pair & Padded Arm Sleeves (1 Pair) Men, Women & Youth Compression Basketball Shooter Sleeve - Offers Best Elbow Warmers & Forearm Protection for Football, Running, Volleyball & Athletic Contact Sports. Granted these don't have the hard outer shell but at least my girls will use them & they'll be protected from falls! Happy Shopping:)

Yes, they would work well for long boarding for direct impacts. As the pads have 3 sections, they do a good job of wrapping above and below your patella, and thus, provide good protection. If you have long sliding fall, they might shift though, as they are held on by 2 straps (i.e., as opposed to pads that have a 'sleeve' that wraps your leg and must be slipped on over the leg). While the sleeve type of pad may provide additional protection, they would be hotter to wear and are harder to put on, and thus, people would be less likely to put them on.

They would be great for snow protection. I'd say more water resistant than water proof. ...the bottom is leather which will eventually get wet. But with dry, packed snow and not to be used all day they would be fine.

I am not sure if it would work for that. Most of our customers use them in snowboarding helmets.

Yes they will. They work great too! However, they are not soft and are not suitable for transporting surfboards (unless you wrap them with a foam). I did use them this past winter for snowboards and gear though, and they worked great. I definitely recommend these!

Probably better than warm packy snow. Should work well. I am very eased with them

At present, I have one pad under each stabilizer and one tire. The other tire has a "ramp" making it two high to level that side. Pop-up has been "wintering" for four months with no ill effects. This is sitting on a sand base and suffers no sinking. For a long sitting park model, I foresee no problem. I've used and abused these blocks for about a year now and they've held up great. I bought two ten packs and have had to use as many as 14 blocks. Great products, wish I had gotten the interlocking chocks too!

I wouldn't think these would give much protection on hot pavement. We had a dog who's paws required protection in all extremes oh heat, cold and wet conditions. We found Allweather Muttluks essential for him, in summer and polar fleece the best for cold conditions as long as it wasn't wet out. Thee polar fleece breaths more than the waterproof ones and have more padding but may be too warm for extreme heat. Expensive but they are very well made and last much longer than any others so you end up spending the same if not less over time

Dicey. I use them to keep my feet warm while kayaking in cold weather. The bottom is a soft diamond pattern of the same material as the sock. I noticed the other day that the diamond pattern around the ball of my foot (where it pushes on the foot brace) was starting to wear. I've since attached moleskin to the foot brace so I'm not pushing against the hard plastic. Sand is pretty abrasive. I believe neoprene boots have a hard sole; those might work better on sand. Hope you find something that works for you.

The helicopter tapes I have purchased have been thicker tapes that work great to protect what they cover from anything from bugs at high speeds to paddles slapping the side of a paddle board. I think you can find a thinner harder more permanent tape to cover your edges. Would not recommend due to thickness and ease of removal.

I have used these for my larger canine and they worked fine when he needed to go outside into the snow - we have tile on our kitchen flooring which is right by the front door and he did not slip coming into the home. These items are difficult to remove just as difficult as they are to put on because they are tight. With that being said, I would consider the possible damage it can do to circulation having them on for that long period of time; just my opinion.

Hello Ron..I have been asked to comment on your query. The Velcro strips supplied with the insulation pads are pretty decent, in that the adhesive part works well....I cannot comment on the temperature range for application (I live in Qatar, so everything is mostly done in the higher temp ranges)....but did think it worthwhile to mention that you need to watch out for the fact that the rear section (Unltd Wrangler) of insulation, because of its size, detaches itself from the Velcro side of the strip quite often. This is a minor hassle and just needs to be "pressed" back in place. I am considering placing extra strips of Velcro in these "problem" areas.

I bought them for my bean bag. While filling it I found them to be possibly light enough for a snow globe but they have a static cling thing going on. I'm not sure how you could stop that from happening. Good luck!

The rollers are hard plastic. ..I live in Florida. ..no experience with spa cover with snow or ice. Ice may not bond to plastic because the rollers hang vertically until you lift & setup.

no idea. I doubt if would be so good, as the padding behind the shell would likely come off iwhen waterlooged with satl water (f longboarding is surfing)

These shells are great for spring loaded UHC guns but for any gas/CO2 powered guns I'd definitely advise against these. Most brands will have their own shells so look for those-- usually under recommended purchases. They should be metal though, for CO2. Or at least tougher plastic than these. These are made for spring loaded air guns
