Detailed Size Chart

How to measure: Measure the circumference of your knee at the center of the kneecap with your leg slightly bent. If you are between two sizes, choose the larger size for more comfort.

Fit and Comfort

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

• Setters and spikers who require maximum mobility
• Athletes who prefer compact and lightweight kneepads
• Players 160-185cm who find long models too bulky
• Those seeking 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 the Team Kneepad, which is 4cm longer, is for taller athletes or liberos/defensive players. 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 defensive player 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
