Canyoning Knee - elbow protectors / pads

  One piece of equipment to take with you is a pair of knee pads or elbow pads.

Why knee pads and elbow pads help with canyoning. All protectors are designed to protect you and prevent damage and bruising.

  • Knee pads and elbow pads help to relieve your joints.
  • They also help protect your clothing or wetsuit from being ripped from rough, abrasive canyon walls.
  • A pair of protectors should be comfortable, offer good flexibility, be lightweight and breathable and easy to clean.

Since your knee and elbow pads are made to absorb most injuries, they can wear out quickly. This can make your purchase seem less worthwhile.
But even if you have to replace them more often than some of your other gear, your canyon tour will be more comfortable and you will be worth it.
