Knee or elbow protectors (4)

I believe the answer is:

pads

(Other definitions for pads that I've seen before include "Apartments; cushions" , "Lines or stuffs with soft material" , "Protective guards worn by sportspeople" , "Lines, or stuffs with soft materials" , "Cricket leg-guards" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal.
