Fit and Comfort

The Mizuno VS1 Kneepad Z59SS502 have a snug and compact fit thanks to DF Cut technology. The anatomical design follows the natural movements of the knee, guaranteeing protection without limiting flexibility. Ideal for:

• Setters and spikers who require maximum mobility
• Athletes who prefer compact and lightweight kneepads
• Players 160-185cm tall who find long models too bulky
• Those looking for optimal protection with minimal weight (65g vs 85g Team Kneepad)

VS1 vs Team Kneepad Comparison: The VS1 offers 8mm multi-layer EVA (vs 12mm Team) with a 23% reduced weight (65g vs 85g). The compact DF Cut design is ideal for mobility, while Team Kneepads, which are +4cm longer, are for tall athletes or liberos/defenders. VS1 = speed and agility, Team = maximum protection.

NOT Suitable For

These kneepads are NOT recommended if:

• You are over 185cm tall (choose the long Team Kneepad model)
• Your knee circumference is over 42cm (they would be too tight)
• You are a libero or defender with many dives (prefer Team Kneepad 12mm EVA)
• You are looking for high graduated compression (VS1 has standard compression vs 18-22mmHg Team)

Maintenance and Care

To maintain optimal performance:

• Hand wash in cold water (max 30°C)
• Do not use bleach or fabric softener (damages the silicone grip)
• Air dry, do not tumble dry
• Do not iron (heat damages the multi-layer EVA)
• Store in a dry place away from heat sources
