For crashing on pavement you want a hard outer shell. The hard shell
slides on the pavement. Fabric covered pads will stick to the pavement
preventing you from sliding as well and will be more likely to be pulled
off your knee or elbow when you do slide.
Best bet is to go to a shop that sells inline skate gear and try on some
different pads. Find one that is comfortable for you throughout the
pedaling range of motion. The bulky extreme pads (like for aggressive
skating) are way overkill for unicycling use. Find some nice thin low
profile pads.
