Here is what Jake Phelps wrote:
I've also acquired some Pro Designed knee pads that where a gift from God, with very comfortable padding, ultra-high density and heavy-duty Velcro, not like the little straps like some other pads. Each pad is hand sewn and you can tell the manufacturer really took time, and lent an ear to many pro skaters that offered up ideas, in steering clear of all the mass products that everyone else has. When it comes time to slam ,the P.D. pads are the ones to count on. Don't worry about slip-off because the padding extends about 4" above the knee cap, no Masonite burns here. So the price is a little step you might say, but like they tell you when you buy a motorcycle helmet, buy a $10.00 helmet for a $10.00 head. Think about it, you want to be walking long after you stop skating, right ? Write this guy a letter, he sounds really into skating and keeping skaters healthy. Pro Designed pads come in different sizes and padding density. Remember we've all got to wipe out and we have to be fully prepared. -from a Review from Thrasher Magazine, Oct. / Nov. 1986 by Jake Phelps
