Black Diamond Telekneesis Kneepad

Black Diamond Telekneesis Kneepad description

The Black Diamond Telekneesis Kneepad lets you move objects with the power of your knees. Unlike the cheesy skateboarding kneepads many telemarkers use, the Telekneesis only covers what it has to, so it doesn't mess up the breathability of those expensive ski pants. Three plastic shells with closed cell foam backing are articulated to be minimalist when you're standing up straight, but come together for full protection of the patella, as well as giving your upper shin and lower thigh a little coverage. The Telekneesis's smooth beveled edges won't catch on ski pants and are low profile so they won't scoop snow or look doofy.

These pads are sweet for keeping your knees safe, and in good working order when you ski the ugly chop, and unpredictable snow. They're surprisingly not cumbersome at all, and I barely notice I'm wearing them.

These pads fit better than any i've ever tried. I never hit the slopes without them and they've saved my knees from stumps more than once. Excellent knee pads.

One of the most important pieces or gear for any free-heeler. These pads fit nicely under most pants and no one will know they are there. You will, however, know they are there when you hit that unexpected stump or rock and it deflects nicely off the pad. They stay in place and don't itch even when strapped on my bare skin with no baselayer. Lay down deep turns with confidence with these on!
