DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Why You'll Love It
The most exposed phase in wing foil is the kneeling start. The Runway places a ballistic shell, supported by closed-cell foam, between your knee and the pad. This means fewer pressure points, less wear on your wetsuit, and genuine protection against impacts. The entire knee pad remains flexible thanks to the 4-way stretch neoprene. This ensures you maintain full mobility to stand up and pump.
Choosing the Right Size
Available in two sizes: S/M and L/XL. Choose S/M for smaller to medium body sizes or if you prefer to wear it directly against your skin. Opt for L/XL for medium to large body sizes or for wearing over a thick neoprene wetsuit. The fit should remain flexible. This allows the knee pad to follow your movement without slipping.
Construction and materials
Engineered with an ergonomic articulated construction to conform to knee flexion, the Runway Kneepad features 4-way stretch performance neoprene for comfort and durability. Closed-cell kneecap foam absorbs shocks. Hexagonal textured grip zones ensure you stay stable in contact with the pad.
