Mizuno Slider Kneepad Red — Low-Profile Sliding Protection with Neoprene Padding

This kneepad is designed for athletes who slide frequently and need broad, low-profile coverage without sacrificing mobility. Constructed from a cotton/polyester/spandex blend with internal neoprene padding, it tucks beneath uniform pants and stays put while you run, slide and change direction. The red finish matches team colors and delivers full lateral protection from typical slide abrasions and bruises.

How does the Mizuno Slider Kneepad protect my knee when I slide?

The kneepad combines a wide external contour with internal 3/8-inch neoprene panels to absorb impact and spread force across a larger surface. That layered approach lowers the chance of concentrated abrasions and reduces direct contact to vulnerable areas of the knee and lower shin.

• Wide base covers front, side and lower knee for full-slide defense
• 3/8-inch neoprene dampens impact and resists compression
• Flexible shell maintains mobility while deflecting abrasion

Will the kneepad stay in place during gameplay?

The fabric blend—cotton, polyester and spandex—gives a snug, elastic fit that conforms to the leg and resists shifting. Because the design integrates the protective panels into the sleeve, you won’t need extra straps or adhesives to keep it positioned while sprinting, sliding or cutting.

• Elastic spandex ensures a close, slip-resistant fit
• Integrated padding prevents internal migration during motion
• Single-piece construction simplifies wear and removal

How does this kneepad compare to bulky knee guards?

This Mizuno Slider Kneepad prioritizes a low-profile silhouette that balances protection with full-range motion. Unlike large hinged knee braces or heavy guards, it lets players remain aggressive—sliding and diving—while still offering robust lateral coverage.

• Lower bulk for unrestricted running and fielding
• Full lateral and lower-knee coverage without rigid components
• Easy under-uniform wear keeps a professional, streamlined look

How should I care for and match the kneepad to my gear?

Machine wash gently or hand wash with mild detergent, then air dry to preserve neoprene padding and elastic recovery. The red color pairs well with team uniforms and can be worn alone—this item contains one kneepad, so purchase a pair if you need protection on both legs.

• Wash cold on gentle cycle or hand wash to extend lifespan
• Air dry—avoid high heat that can degrade neoprene and elastic
• Sold as a single kneepad; buy two for bilateral protection

Who is this for: The Mizuno Slider Kneepad is aimed at baseball and softball players, baserunners and infielders who slide regularly and want broad, low-profile protection. Choose this kneepad if you need reliable abrasion resistance and cushioning without the bulk of traditional guards, if you prefer an elastic sleeve fit under uniform pants, or if you want a red option that matches team colors. Note that this product is supplied as a single kneepad and is ideal for athletes looking to protect a primary leg or to mix-and-match sizes and fits.
