How useful are impact pads?

I’m back to digging up old threads.

I’m wondering if anyone has any more opinions on this topic. Soft pads under kevlar jackets/pants or hard-shell pads over top?

TSG SK8 DHPs? 187 Killer pads? (I keep seeing those being recommended for knee pads in general) Lazy Rolling jackets (or other jackets of that style)? Flatland 3D gloves? Slide gloves with the half-puck?

Anyone try using derby pads yet? I know there’s a lot of movement and superman falls in that sport.

There are new products of this sort coming out constantly, so I’m wondering if anyone has changed their opinions on any of this or come up with some new ones.
