I ordered this product for my son's birthday and was expecting what was pictured (knee and elbow pads and helmet). To my surprise when I opened the box today there was no helmet. I emailed customer service so we'll see what happened. The pads look great, but Amazon failed to meet my expectations.
1/12/08 Amazon re-shipped another set at no cost. I received it today and again there was no helmet. Just the pads. Very disappointing. 2 stars

Yeah It does not come as shown. Too bad I already ordered before the other review. 2 stars

After a few uses, 2 problems emerged: (1) the elastic stretched very easily so it no longer ensures a proper fit; and (2) one of the kneepads broke (i.e. the plastic protective cover separated from the rest of the kneepad). The inexpensive cost is not worth it so I would recommend that you pay the extra money and invest in a better set of protective gear. 1 star
